Just keep swiming...

This week was 278.8. So officially below 280 now. I'm pretty happy with my results so far. With some minor changes to diet and everyday exercise I have lost around 15 pounds. Did it come off quickly, no. Did I do it in a healthy manner that developed better habits than a fad diet, yup. It has been nice to see progress even on weeks where I don't expect to see any, like this week.

These last few weeks have been kinda crazy. We have had a lot of teachers leaving (for various reasons) or just out sick a lot. In the last two years I have been teaching, I don't recall teachers being out this much. 

In church today the pastor talked about discord among people. He started with the world, such as in Egypt and Libya and where ever else. Then among our own government, then down to our town/city, then down to the church and work place. It didn't really hit me until that break down, how much discord and disunity there is among us. There are just a lot of unhappy people in the world right now, and unfortunately I find myself slipping into that sometimes. I have seen a few friends kinda let it get to them, and they just aren't the same person they used to be. It's kinda heart breaking to see people I know just get emotionally worn out from the stress that life puts on them. I don't know where I'm going with this, but I just hope that I don't fall into it and that hopefully I can do something to brighten others day. 

I'll finish with this verse, and most of you who know me well, know that it is my favorite. 

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." -Matt 6:34
