Something had to give

So it has been two weeks since my last blog post. The longest I have gone between posts since I started this little site just about 10 months ago. I really try to update the blog at least three times a week (and if you follow me with any consistency you already know that I am not and this represents merely an ideal not a reality). There is really nothing special about that frequency, just sort of my own goal to keep things current and help me process through the things that are going on around me.

Unfortunately over the past two weeks I have found myself in the perfect storm. My day job at the church has been crazy as we are in the middle of kicking off our new fall schedule, adjusting to two staff departures and launching a new outreach initiative to combat hunger in our community. Connor's House has been equally crazy. We held our fifth blood drive today (thanks as always to all the donors and our partner the Blood Center of NJ) and are simultaneously prepping to launch a new funding campaign and holiday card fundraiser, embark on a tour of UK Children's Hospice Houses and review preliminary pre-qualifications for architects for the house (more on the first three later this week).

I'm not complaining or asking for sympathy, just explaining the gap in posting and I suppose doing a little self justification at the same time. Unfortunately something had to give and the blog was it. Actually it was just one of the things that was put on the back burner but I won't bore you with details about missed workouts, my lawn that needs to be mowed, etc...

I also won't promise that this will be the last long unplanned layoff from the blog (the best boss I ever worked for taught me never to speak in absolutes) but please stay tuned because there's going to be a lot of exciting stuff going on over the next couple of weeks at Connor's House, plus the new hunger initiative I am working on has me pretty excited, and I wouldn't want you to miss any of it ;)
