My homeys

I have come to the great realization that I am going to miss my friends. A lot. No, I mean A LOT. I know I will only be a phone call away, and don't think for a minute that I'm not calling every one of you when I'm bored waiting for a train. But I am going to miss them. I know I am already making new friends, and I am certain that going through the ordeal is going to make our friendships deep. But I have built some pretty deep friendships here, and I will miss my friends.

I do look forward to the people I don't even know yet that will become my NYC friends, but have I mentioned that I will miss my friends?

You will be greatly missed also. You will be thought of with the hightest regard as you serve The King, yet their will be a void here at this homestead. More clearly their will be a missing void when birthdays roll around and the prospect of 4 hours of guy fun is not even an option. That is because you are just so hip with it; you are down with your big self; you know cool dude! Which is and has always been clear that I am more of a stick in the mud and you are a flying frisby.

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

By far the most beautiful.

It has been a week since the death of my mother. A week ago right now, I was going on 14 minutes of sleep knowing that my mom had made her transition to heaven. That day brought many emotions for certain. A lot of sadness and grief knowing that she was gone from this world. Sadness in knowing that I would never again hear the sweet sound of my mother's voice calling my name from somewhere off in the distance. Knowing that my children would no longer run from here to there shouting "GRANDMA!" as I have so many times seen them do with such joy in their hearts. Knowing that I would never again on this earth see Hon and Hon holding each other. Kissing. Making each other laugh. This doesn't seem like a moment to speak about the beauty of life, yet I can only find myself focusing the last few days on just that - the beauty of life. I can say with some certainty that I did experience one (if not the) of the most beautiful things I have ever had the pleasure of expe
