My Cluttered Mind

Here's a few random thoughts that have been milling around in my brain this week:

- It's been a great first week of work with Tyndale.  I was realizing today again how much I really like working in the Christian higher ed field and how excited I am to work for Tyndale.  It's great connecting with local church and ministry leaders and telling them about a school that is truly on the move.

- Part of being a parent I think is creating a series of memories for your children.  They may not necessarily remember every moment but collectively they leave (hopefully) a positive impression.

- I was thinking today of a time in high school where Dad was so busy working that he forgot to drive me to a hockey game.  I ended up being late and not getting to play.  He felt really bad--I remember that distinctly.  It occurred to me that this was one of the very few "mistakes" I ever remember Dad making when I was a kid which is why I remember it so well.  I hope my kids remember my mistakes--then I'll know I'm a great Dad.

- I need to start keeping a private journal again.  I did it fairly regularly during a phase in my life and occasionally have come back to it over the years.  Nothing for a while though and there are things that I think are worth saying but not for public consumption at this point.  I wish I could share them but it wouldn't be right. I want to get them on paper though.

- Guess where I'm going with the boys in a couple of weeks?  Awesome!!!
