And so this is Christmas...

I am not one of those "holly jolly Christmas" types...i never have been. I know that it should be one of the most important times of the year because I follow Christ, but seriously, I am not all that excited when December rolls around. Some of it has to do with memories of my mother and how much Christmas meant in my family. After she passed away, everything changed for me. So the holidays are pretty tough for me.

I went to Starbucks with Anthony tonight. We had a good time. We talked about all kinds of things, from school, church, religion, college. It was a nice break form my everyday. We saw some friends there and share some time with them. Coffee and friends: what more do you need?

So I started the first chapter of my book. As of right now, it looks like it will be somewhat autobiographical, but with a twist when i get to my current state of spirituality. I don't know where it will go, but it should be an experience.

3rd Place is the one thing that keeps me sane lately. I get so charged and energized when i think about all the potential there is. God is blessing me so much with the opportunity to act as a guide for that group. We will start a series on "A New Kind of Christian" in January. I look forward to it with much anticipation.

So there it is, a snapshot of my day.

I would like to ask for your prayers. Like I said earlier, the holidays are pretty rough for me, which means they tend to be unpleasant for those around me. Add to it the depression that I already bring to the table and it's a formula for disaster. Pray for me, but please pray for those around me as well. I appreciate it.
