Live fully. Die empty.

Riddle me this…

If you could do anything and not fail, what would it be? Light up the comments with your response.

The homeless guy

The church still has plenty of work to do. We’re kidding ourselves if we think otherwise. Here’s a Thanks post from The Homeless Guy (a.k.a. Kevin):

Thanks to the person who loaded my Starbucks card so that I’d have someplace to go to during these holiday days when very few businesses were open.    And thanks to Starbucks.   From what I gather, all of their stores were open regular hours.   The library was closed both Thursday and Friday.  Being able to buy coffee at Starbucks gave me the opportunity to get inside somewhere while the weather was less than hospitible.

And thanks to Linda and crew for the Thanksgiving Day Dinner.  Thursday, scores of homeless people were treated to a fine Thanksgiving Day Dinner at Flanagan’s - an upscale steak house.   It made the season bright.

Nap of the earth

Hey, remember that one time you were flying that jet, like, 20 feet off the ground? And, if you made even the smallest error you would have crashed and exploded?

Yeah… me neither. Extreme pucker factor begins at 2:09.

Welcome to the new shawnw.org

I’m betting some of you are thinking "wow, big change!" I guess, going from the previous theme I was using (lots of bright blues and some tan, too) then yeah, there’s some difference. However, sometimes you just have to pull back and take stock so this paired-down theme just fits at this stage of shawnw.org’s life. I know it’s not flashy. Then again, my wife continually reminds me I’m not a flashy guy, so it all fits in the end.

So, where do we go from here? In reality, our focus isn’t going to change. I’m hoping I’ve made the site load a little faster for those of you on slower connections. Content wise, you may see a little more life journaling from time to time, more funny stuff, and ideally some tech articles that’ll help you get more things done than you get done now. Not that I’m accusing you of being lazy. If you were honest with yourself, you wouldn’t need me to point it out to you.

See what I did there? That’s called sarcasm. It’s all in good fun, though, I promise you.

I bet when you think of the Little Drummer Boy you don’t think of this.
