Nuts!

It's been a very full week. We just finished the Inspire Worship & Creative Arts Conference here and I must say I think we have to count it a success. Not everything went the way we'd hoped but, that's only to be expected, and nothing went horribly wrong throughout the event either. Russell Fragar is a delightful man and I met some other very interesting and creative people as well.

The biggest challenge of organizing an event like that is actually eating healthy meals. When you're there 5-8 hours a day, chances are you've skipped a meal or two. "Let's just finish hanging the ginormous frame and then I'll eat." "Just let me finish ironing the bubbles and I'll grab something." "What? We need lamps in the oasis? Okay, be right there." I generally pack at least a snack but lately I've even stretched that a bit. I carry a bag of raw almonds or some kind of nuts everywhere but the closer we got to the kick off concert, the more got wrapped around the nuts. Almond Joy, Snickers, Turtles -- all passed as a meal at some point. I'd get home late and grab a PB&J before bed. I may have eaten a cheese string a friend brought once but that's about as close to real food as I managed for awhile.

Here's my logic. Nuts are a good source of protein. And some of those healthy oils you hear about. Some fiber too. So I figure as long as it's got nuts in it, it's healthy right?

No?

Nuts.
