Scratch’n Sniff

Lately, I’ve been forgetting which direction is hot and which direction is cold on the water faucet.  I have no idea why and no matter how hard I try I can’t seem to get it right.  It’s a good thing our shower only turns on in one direction.  I don’t think I could handle the options. 

I’ve been married for four months now.  There hasn’t been a second that I have not enjoyed.  I have to say that I’ve learned more about myself during these past four months than I had during the previous 25 years.  My understanding of grace has been deeply enriched.  It’s something like the difference between Sauder and IKEA furniture.  Especially when it comes down to putting the stuff together.  Or something…

One of the things that I love about my wife is that she reminds me that I really don’t need all of the “stuff” that I think I do.  I can be really materialistic.  All of that “stuff” really doesn’t make my life any better.  It’s just more to worry about, and honestly, it’s really hard to beat a good game of Monopoly with some great people.

I’m learning more about what Ecclesiastes 5:1-2 has to say.  You should check it out.

Creativity begets creativity.  I’ve learned that I’m not all that creative on my own.  I need to see what color crayon you use to color your sky.

Speaking of creativity, I’m looking for some fresh, new insight.  Anyone have a good read they care to suggest?

That reminds me.  I promised a few people that I would be more consistent with my writing.  You should help hold me accountable with that.

Last but not least.  I have been blessed beyond belief by the calling God has placed on our (Lindsey and I) life.  God is really up to something with this group of students and we are just excited to be along for the ride.
