All alliterations are awesome

-
I enjoy a good alliteration.

I tend to notice them a lot in sermons, but in any talk it's can be a helpful way for me to remember a point. There's just something about starting all words with the same letter sound that makes the phrase stand out more to me.

Sending notes

-
I haven't been big on new year's resolutions lately, but I do like the idea of challenging myself in areas where I'd like to get better and setting goals for myself. Something that I've been thinking about doing is sending a note to someone different every week of the year just to say thanks or I'm thinking of you or praying for you. It wouldn't be hard to do and I know it's good for me as well as I think most people appreciate a little note. The other thing I've been thinking about along those lines is sending video notes. I heard this on a podcast recently. Since we don't see people as much these days it's easy to just record a video on your phone and email it or use a service like Loom to record your video and send a link or use an app like Marco Polo. It seems like this would feel even more personal than a note... though I haven't done it yet. So maybe send a note today to someone that's helped you out recently or maybe to someone who

The dreaded clean up

-
I need to figure out a way to get myself really psyched about the opportunity I have as being seen as the professional to clean up all presentations for the biggest conference we have every year. But instead, I don't look at it like this... I see it as a huge stack of PowerPoint slides that I dread cracking into. It doesn't help that I have a lot of other things on my plate leading up to this conference as well. Ultimately, I need to see it as an opportunity to provide a professional service to my colleagues that is desired and give it as much time as I possibly can. They have become my customer for this week and I need to do the best job I can at taking what they have created one step further from an aesthetic and creative angle. Also, another part of the battle here is perhaps the idea that it's not my original idea or work. But in reality how many things really are? Most ideas still started with someone else's. So... today I'm getting psyched to work on other
