well folks...as Jordan said the first time....I'm Back. and I'm coming back with a vengeance. i know i was a slacker for not getting out a bowl preview, but trust me- you didnt want my advice. basically what ive come to do today is bare my soul for the world to see. now for those of you that know me, know that this is something the is common for me. ask my opinion- ill tell you, and sometimes even if you dont ask. i have opinions on everything and i hope for your sake that you agree with me. i wasnt sure what was going to happen when i started this blog back in the summer. ive talked baseball, politics, ut sports, the reds, family, friends, jesus, life in general, college football, pro football, church, youth group, and what appears to be my masterpiece- a tribute to my grandfather http://whatpudgethinks.blogspot.com/2009/11/who-shot-charlie-brown.html. after that it didnt seem to matter. there wasnt really anything worth writing about that people wanted to hear. the vols? tiger? sale creek? maybe later. but now on this second day of the greatest year of my life i bring you my new years resolutions for 2010.
1. read my bible more- this might be the easiest one to accomplish seeing is all i have to do is read the bible. but i think that is much more than that. i dont want to read my bible so i can say "hey i read my bible" i want to read so that i can learn more about jesus. which, as a christian (like christ) shouldnt i learn more about the man that i need to strive to be like. for that matter- shouldnt you? and lets not get into the fact that the bible is awesome to read. i have to slow down and reread so much because things just jump of the pages and i need to understand what god wants me to learn.
2. be a better leader- there are lots of people that i have been given the chance to lead. some might not know it, but they follow me. my girlfriend nicki- i need to be the man of god that she deserves. my little mentoree sam- i need to show him how to make it through high school, college, and life and become a man (which is interesting seeing how im not 100% sure what it takes) the students that i interact with- either subbing or the youth at church- i need to be able to make sure that i do things the right way for them. my players- what an impact that coaches have on the players that play for them. i hope i pray that i treat them all fairly, lead by action and word, and most importantly let them know that sports nor school is most important. and more important than those is the relationship that they have with the savior of the world. my sunday school class- kind of tough teaching class of people my own age. i need to practice what i preach.
3. get back in shape- i know everybody always says this, but im fat. as in when i stopped doing P90X ive gained like 20 lbs. so much for those 10-15 that i lost. plus church ball is about to start and i need to be ready to dominate. oh and ive got to fit in baseball pants come march.
4. always back in parking spaces- not only could it be a challenge, but it could be fun to do. think about it. every single time. backing in. haha. does it count for when i park in the garage/driveway?
5. NEVER GO TO WALMART- and do i ever hope that this comes true. i probably didnt go to walmart 15 times this year and that was without trying. if they dont have it at targer, kmart, or bilo- i dont need it. two things might make this impossible. 1- the majority of the times i did go was with david ivarson for youth events. 2- i have had to go and get medicine for grandma. but i promise you this- i will not go to walmart for personal reasons!! yessir!
i leave you with lyrics from one of my favorite songs.
"oh the devil is singing
an age old song over me.
That i am cursed and gone astray.
singing the first verse so convieniently
he's forgotten the refrain,
JESUS SAVES."
PUDGE
