Okay here's the thing...I wanted to post some pictures, but this stupid thing won't let me SO I may get a new one for my own personal enjoyment...will keep thee posted...

I AM AN ESCAPE ARTIST...

Why?  Because I feel like a failure.  So I run.  I find solace in the arms of another...pitiful sources of comfort and strength.  Is is okay to feel this way--to feel as if you always want to run?  Does this mean I am in not in God's will?  Does that mean I am not in the right place?  Does that mean I lack the necessarry faith?  Introspection is way over-rated.

I need perspective.  I need faith.  I need more of Christ...and trash this old self (it's pretty ragged anyway).

Okay, let's talk about the fact that today I have learned more about technology than the last 40 billion years.  Yeah, I'm that old. 

I'm going to begin posting pictures when I can figure out how to get the little suckers off my digital camera.  I tried using brainwaves, but that only started the microwave.  Not that it really matters if I get them up anytime soon, because this site remains "the road less traveled."  It makes me happy because I like having a personal something...

Let's also talk about the fact that I am moving YET AGAIN!  BUT, I will be saving about $150 a month which is no chump change to a youth pastor...or anyone living outside of Plano. 

Here is an actual quote from one of the 8th grade girls...

(Picture a cute young lass skipping down the sidewalk and top speed and stopping in midstride to say..."

"My mom thinks I have ADD."

(Girl immediately resumes skipping as if nothing has been said.)

Special.

This week has sucked big time.  I have felt sad, unmotivated, easily irratated, and had a HEADACHE all week.  Today is one of those days that hurts to breathe.  I just want to s-l-e-e-p.  Always a sign that I'm down in the dumps.   Not to be too introspective or anything, but I think its due to my recent vacation, combined with the fact that me and Jesus aren't really happening right now.  And this is why (I think.)  I love my family.  A lot.  So, when I'm with them, I put them in a position of power.  Their presence satisfies me in a way that not many things can.  So I assume that the satisfaction is complete and it is not.  So I also put God in the back seat.  Meanwhile, life goes on and my family, comfort, and all things comfortable are no longer accessible on a daily basis.  I am left lost...floating without any real direction.  So I guess I'm going to have to kick my own butt and just make myself look for meaning in the little things of God verses waiting for a moment of ultimate, profound clarity that wipes away the lonliness and aimlessness.
