Go Hokies!
I think my body is slowly reverting back to its high-school time clock. In high school I consistently functioned on about 6 hours of sleep. Once I hit college, I could barely get by with8 hours. While I have been tired at night, I'm finding that I'm getting to bed later and later, yet getting up at the same time. Ah, who knows - I'll probably crash tomorrow night and not wake up until Dinner time on Saturday. :-)
I don't have a lot to report tonight. Really, there is just one major thing (in my mind that happened) - the HOKIES beat UVa tonight. I wish I could have been in Cassell tonight because that place was rocking. The UPN affiliate in Richmond had some satellite issues so we didn't get the first half, but we got to see the 2nd which was great. It is so cool that our basketball team is seeing some success and that people are excited about bball in Blacksburg again! Yeah, yeah - I am aware that there were many other notable news items that happened today, but I'm pretty biased.
Lets see, I received a record number of comments on my last post. Not really because of its content, but because of people - namely my good friend Ryan - have put links to my blog on theirs. I'm going to get around to doing that too.
Ok, and for the serious stuff for one to ponder...I sort of posted that Casting Crowns song the other day and didn't comment on it. So here goes. That song is just awesome in my opinion. It constantly reminds me of what I'm doing and - here's the corny side of me - really who i am. While my profession may be in healthcare (at least hopefully), that's not who I am. Yes, my birthdate designates me as a twentysomething, and I happen to be a single male living in a city. But that's not who I am. Who I am, is very simply a child of God. The rest of it, well that's what He wants me to be. And that, my friends, is very cool.

Thank you! Finally, someone who doesn't define themselves by their job. Here in law school (and I'm sure its the same in the medical profession) they drill it into your head - "law isn't just a job, lawyers are professionals." They insist since it is a "profession," like medicine and a few other fields, it is way above "normal jobs." They insist it "defines you." Bunch of nonsense in my opinion :). Personally, I will always put my identies as a Christian, a friend, a son, a husband (eventually), a father (waaaaaaaaay eventually), and an American in front of any identity a job gives me. Work is important in life - but you define your work, it doesn't define you!
