You have got to be freakin kidding me.....
So its 70 degrees here in Nashville in February and I am inside with my foot up above my heart. Why you ask? I have no idea. I went for a run on Saturday afternoon on pavement and came up limping a couple of hours later. I took the normal amount of anti-inflammatory pills and thought nothing of it until Sunday morning when I nearly fell on the floor getting out of bed. To make it worse, I actually went to the driving range and practiced Sunday afternoon. I never knew how important a small portion of my foot was when swinging a golf club. It hurt to stand, it hurt to sit, it hurt to swing full and it hurt to laugh. J So, on this gorgeous February day, I am stuck inside with my foot propped up writing on my blog wishing I could practice and hoping you are enjoying this beautiful day. The lesson I learned is not to take your feet for granted. I think I will go find a rich Swedish masseuse to marry now.

Visualize Large Yellow Fowl
This might be one of my deepest, darkest desires in the world. I ask that you keep the following statement in perspective.
My ultimate desire in not only to be the #1 Ranked Professional Golfer in the World by 2014, but to also be a guest host on Sesame Street.
I’ll let the genius of that statement sink in for a minute. Think about it. Only the elite of the elite people have been seen with Big Bird, Snufalopagus, and Elmo! Robert DeNiro, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Cash, David Beckham (when he was good), The NY Jets, Michael Jordon, Larry Bird and Garth Brooks have all been on Sesame Street. They don’t just take any joe off the street like Jay Leno or Saturday Night Live. You actually have to be the cream of the crop at what you do.
Here is a link to R.E.M "Furry Happy Monsters":
Here is the link to the NY Jets. Elmo let his standards down a bit when he invited them. He must have thought it was the Giants.
Ok, so here is another confession. I stayed up for 2 hours looking at classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube and was cracking up. I actually remember some of these from childhood. Especially the Grover, Near and Far clip. I encourage you to be a kid for a few minutes, get lost in a simpler time and watch a few of these clips in full. It will make you smile.

Is this passage invigorating or scary?
First off, I am not some Bible beating crazy. But I came across this passage and it excited me because nothing done with passion is safe from pain and uncertainty. Cleary I am not comparing what I am doing with Paul. Blood, sweat, tears, severe pain are part of life. The choice is ours as to what we are suffering for.
...been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. 24Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers. 27I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. 28Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. 29Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn?
