And so it goes, I'm still here. Hoping everyone has a happy Easter Sunday, should I not blog again before then. I called my Mom & gently broke the news to her I didn't want candy in my Easter Basket, which wasn't easy considering she usually puts my favorite in there, Jelly Belly's. Come to find out, she wasn't even going to make me one!!! At least that's what she said. I feel slided. Oh well.
No big plans for Easter. Pretty much just going to church, and possibly hiking depending on the weather. The forecast calls for rain this weekend. If it does rain on Sunday, it would be kind of ironic that it's a reminder of God's greatest wrath (so far) on planet earth would fall on the day celebrating His greatest triumph.
Today I walked 3 miles which felt great! Mixed with a great diet, I'm feeling much better than I was even a month ago. I continue to work on my first novel. I'm finding a lot of great advice from author, James Scott Bell who wrote a book on Plot & Structure. Of course, I seem to have misplaced my book, so I just reserved one from the library, till I find mine.
I think my prayer life is better than ever these days. Of course it could always be better. One challenge I've enjoyed I actually read about years ago from the founder of 5 Minute Walk Records (a Christian Music Label), Frank Tate. "If you spend five minutes a day talking to Jesus like you would a friend, He would become your friend. I know it sounds weird, but I challenge you to give it a try. The next time you're bummed, lonely, scared or frustrated, go for a five-minute walk and talk to Him like you would a friend. Tell Him exactly how you feel and what you're thinking."
Saw some good movies recently that I bought on DVD. The Chronicles of Narnia "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" was really good! Can't wait for the next one! Also, I really enjoyed Tron: Legacy! Thought I wouldn't but pretty much anything Jeff Bridges does I love (except that movie he did with Barbara Streisand.) http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Speaking of movies, I'm also currently working on my first indie film, titled eHahamony. Sounds funny doesn't it? I'm really excited because as of today, I have 6 wonderful comedians who've agreed to be apart of it. If you'd like more information on it, visit www.kickstarter.com/projects/richjonescomedy/ehahamony
Also been challenged to get rid of a lot of things lately. It's been a very liberating feeling, and not to get too cliche', but to quote another great movie, Fight Club, "The thing you own, end up owning you..." & "Only after you've lost everything are you free to do anything!"
Gotta love it!
Forever In Christ,
