After a lengthy sabatical, he sits in front of his computer, fingers ready at the keyboard. So much to say...so much to write. Topics race wildly through his mind, each fighting for the right to take their rightful place on the field of honor...the blog. Many will read the entries. Some will cry. Some will laugh. But one thing is certain...he must write, because he is...the Media Pastor.

24

It's the day after the big season finale of 24. If you've been living in Tibet for the past 6 years and aren't familiar with the premise of 24, the entire season takes place over a 24 hour period, one hour every week. And, once again, Jack Bauer escaped kidnappers, saved the girl, killed the bad guys, stopped the bomb, killed more bad guys, disobeyed but was later pardoned by the President, escaped again, and killed more bad guys. What a cool ride!

But as I think of what Bauer does in that 24 hour period, I reflect on some of Jamey's recent messages such as "Priorities"," Identity" andthe upcoming "Committment." What does my "24" look like?

The following takes place between 7am and 8am: I'm asleep.
The following takes place between 8am and 9am: Still sleeping.
The following takes place between 9am and 10am: Waking up, but still groggy.
The following takes place between 10am and 11am: Reading Ross' blog while eating Cheerios
The following takes place between 11am and 12pm: Price is Right! C'mon Down!
The following takes place between 12pm and 1pm: Decide if I wear black or blue shorts today
The following takes place between 1pm and 2pm: See if Ross posted new article on Blog yet
The following takes place between 2pm and 3pm: Have staring contest with my dogs
The following takes place between 3pm and 4pm: Couch plus warm spring day equals nap!
The following takes place between 4pm and 5pm: You heard me say nap, didn't you?
The following takes place between 5pm and 6pm: Waking up, but still groggy
The following takes place between 6pm and 7pm: Better do chores before Shannon gets home
The following takes place between 7pm and 8pm: Deciding what chores to do first
The following takes place between 8pm and 9pm: Only have time to vacuum before she gets home...she's gonna be mad!

And you can pretty much see how the rest will go. You would think my reflections would lead me to ask the question, "Am I doing the most productive things with my time?" However, my only conclusion is, "How can I get more nap time in?"
