Detox Induced Thoughts

I am feeling extremely scatterbrained. My attention span is about 90 seconds. I know the cause. Brace yourself...I'm easing myself off caffeine. No, I'm not a coffee or Starbucks junkie. My drug of choice is Diet Dr. Pepper. A lot of it. I actually tracked it a few weeks ago and realized I was drinking in excess of 100 ounces a day. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that probably isn't great for me. So, I've been gradually decreasing my intake for the past couple weeks and am now down to one 20oz a day. In honor of my caffeine detox that has left me scatterbrained, I've got a few [very] random thoughts to share:

• I just discovered an excellent resource for those raising support for missions. It looks great. You should check out MissionMatchUp.
• We (at B&H/LifeWay) are in the midst of working on some plans for a women's online resource that is unlike anything else out there. It will take a couple months to launch, but suffice to say that I am super excited about the potential.
• I am overjoyed that Mine That Bird won the Derby. I love when the underdog wins. He even looked less formidable than the other horses. Susan Boyle-esque. Yet another sign that outward appearance is not a sure indicator of internal substance. Easy belief to articulate, difficult to consistently manifest.
• I really hate it when I get proposals in any font other than Times New Roman, 12 pt. I also hate any sort of creative formatting. The only components you need are a title page, headings, subheadings, and text in normal paragraph form. All Times New Roman. If you read this and ever send me a proposal, please, please, please follow these guidelines. It will make me happier when I read your proposal. That can only help you.
• I'm getting a new office sometime in the next week. This is because a lady who has been working at B&H for almost twenty years has volunteered to give me her office and move into a cubicle. I can't get over it. I know that I would be angry and prideful if I were her. Yet, she is genuinely fine with it, no drama, and super gracious. Did I mention that I can't get over it? I really can't. I seriously feel like I should wash her feet or something incredibly symbolic. The problem is that I would do one kind and humble action then go back to being selfish while she embodies kindness and humility. I'm trying to believe sanctification is powerful enough to get even me there someday. Perhaps the lack of caffeine will help...
