Serpent in the Grass

Haven't had many moments to get on lately... in fact, I only have a few right now. Worship at Epic went terrific today (at least I thought it did). It was nice to have Corban on as he always adds another atmosphere to the music. I could even hear their congregation singing today so that was nice.
I have four day until I leave for Florida. I set up iChat last night so that I can stay in touch with my family while I'm gone and hopefully Gavin will get a kick out of seeing daddy on the computer talking to him. Love my babies. Mmmmk... Beck just left a bit ago with the boys to go to my mom's to color eggs. I committed to helping Corban with a recital so I am missing out on that as well as the State game today. If they win they go to the Final Four but I am thinking an "L" might be in their future as Lucas has to watch from the sidelines. We'll see though... they've pulled off the last two without him. Okie doke.. til next time.

Tired...

For whatever reason as of my last post I thought I was leaving for FLA this weekend... not so. This week of work and next... what a blow. I guess it allows me to get things in check before taking off. I always try not to over-commit but it seems this is an impossibility. Between work and fatherhood I have to manage the middle school ball team Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday this week, the Epic worship team Thursday and Sunday, the SWARM team Thursday, Corban's practice and recital Saturday and Sunday afternoon, and trying to film and edit about three more "testimonies" for the Easter video. I'm sure I am forgetting a few things but all this on top of trying to be a good husband and dad is wearing. Thankfully this is the last week for anything "worship through music" for a while and it's also the last week of the middle school boy's team. There are things I am not focused on at work that I need to commit to and I just don't know how to go about it. There's also some crappy situations with a couple of my residents I have no clue how to handle. Sucks... This whole church thing took an odd turn tonight as well I can't explain. Blah....

Good morning...

Enjoyed the Olive Garden with my wife last night, came home and watched State barely eek by thanks to some terrible officiating. Got up and played ball this morning... talking to Becky as I type... she just went grocery shopping. This will likely be my last weekend of "assistant" coaching the middle school boys as next week I head to Florida with the fam. Should be interesting. I just want this work week to be over and I feel like it's going to drag on and on. Although in some weird ways I do not want to go to Florida because I will be away from Beck and the kids for like 9 days. That's a long time... makes me sad just thinking about it. Anyways... that's about it. It's been so nice lately and this morning freakin snow... should be an interesting drive to GR. Blah.

Day #2

Another day.... Day #2. Wanting to work out but not motivated to do so. My boys slept through the night last night which was a phenomenal blessing but I am still exhausted. Good news... one of my toughest residents will be moving on. Bad news... tough decisions were made today as I handed in my key. There's something awesome waiting on the horizon though... need to keep my eyes ahead. 

Came across this and liked it... I Corinthians 4 (New Message)... Paul to the church... 

I'm writing as a father to you, my children. I love you and want you to grow up well, not spoiled. There are a lot of people around who can't wait to tell you what you've done wrong, but there aren't many fathers willing to take the time and effort to help you grow up. 

My First Blog...

Wow, blogger asks me to title the name of my blog for now and all time... don't ask me to be so creative on the spot. The spontaneity's just not flowing. So anyways... today was just another day in the life of Dallas Beckett. Took the kids to grandma's and went to work. Weather is getting better which instills motivation to get things accomplished and become active and yet Spring for whatever reason at times gives me a feeling of sadness that I can't really identify. Lots of decisions to be made in the near future. Wrestling with where I am supposed to be... I'll try and keep up with this but for whatever reason I bet this is a one time deal. Thanks blogger for allowing me to "express" on this one occasion.
