What we can afford?
So, frustrating moment yesterday. i have 'afforded' myself some time, occationally this last few weeks, to walk down a bit of a spiritual adventure, an internal journey with external tangents, but it can't be done half hearted. On friday, I was reminded, by events,etc. that I can't afford that time. That makes me angry.

I hear of a a pair of friends, a couple who plan on taking a year off of any ministry for the first year of their marriage. Lol, bless their hearts (and bonus for telling me who usually says that and what she means by that)

I hope to get back on this journey, and not become bitter about not being able to. An easier option would be that I never journeyed there at all, but that is no longer an option. Neither is affording the time in this season of life to go there, though, as this weeks events reminded me. Maybe summer? Just found out I am eligible for sebaticle in 15 months, but probably can't take it for 26 months, bless my heart. Maybe then.

But I don't like to focus on the time I don't have. Rather I should try to focus what I do have, even more, I guess.

On a brighter note, this post seems to be very well proof-read other than one word I am not sure how to spell.

Have a good weekend!

Childhood?

Last night, while finishing assembly of a new fort/slide/swing set for jake in the back ayrd (who knew it was a landscaping job, not just assembly), I heard someting from another yard, across the fence.

They were running aroudn with a cap gun, and tlaking out scripts i could recognize, like 'how oon can you ahve this tested in the lab'? and one of the kids was singing 'who are you, who who?' while they ran around.

Two questions..cna u figure out what hthey were playing?
and can you tell me what the equivilant would have been when we were kids?

good luck
Mike

Hello again, old friend.

Sorry i missed our Easter Date. I would like to start blogging again. I think I will, but the time away gave me whole new perspectives. i ahve no clue what God is doing, or if it is he doing it, or i that is assumptions that pastors make, but life is really interesting and intense, more inside than out, but whatever.
It makes me value or cherish true authenticity even more, and i find myself asking about the place of blogging in all that, cause i know that there are limits to authenticity available on a blog, becasue of teh nature of, well, the WWW.

Anyways, this is cool, and it has it's palce, so Pastor Pepsi rides again.
So, my thought for the day, I hate leaders who can't apologize. You confront them on soemthing, they redirect it, or deflect it, or whatever. I am not even sure I am willing to call them leaders if that is the case. I know that sounds udgemental, but this blog only has use to me if i can type raw thoughts to, so there it is.

Have a nice day. lol, and dont forget to appologize when needed.
Mike
(interested to see how long before there are actual readers again, lol
