Service

I believe that men should provide some sort of selfless service in their life, either by donating their time or money (but never both).  I went a little crazy over the weekend.  I volunteered to help out with Preston and Steve's Campout for Hunger on Thursday morning.  Since I was on the "early" shift (had to be there before 7 AM), in order for me to make sure I was there on time, I had to wake up at 4 AM.  So, I was in bed early on Wednesday, which would explain no post there.

This past weekend, I was helping with my youth group at a state wide induction ceremony.  Before I left around 3 on Friday (I got the day off), I needed to get some tires for my car.  I was thinking it was going to be an in and out job, seeing as it was a Friday, and I was going to get my Christmas shopping done before I took off.  Not the case.  I left the house around 10, and didn't get back until about 2:15.  Still having to pack, I had avoided the Christmas shopping.  The weekend was awesome, as always, but I didn't get a chance to post here because we're always busy.

Anyway, I just wanted to mention that I'm trying to edit my own book so that I can get it published.  It'll be on Amazon for sale, but still.  It'll be published.  I will tell you from experience that writing is fun, but editing is not.  You can't edit nearly as fast as you write, and if you try it yourself, you'll definitely understand why.  Regardless, I was busy defriending a ton of people on Facebook that I haven't talked to in a while, so editing is my project for tomorrow after work.
