I'm going to NYC

So Friday morning I thought for a few minutes 'what if the job opportunities I'm in the mix for don't result in a job?' Not for long, and I wasn't freaking out, I just was thinking what if it doesn't get to a job? So I get an email a couple hours later to come to NY for a job interview on the 13th. OK, now I'm freaking out. No one has asked me to come there yet. I'm supposed to be at a conference on the 13th....aaaaaaaahhhhhhh! So I call superstar and tell her-cool, call and see if that's the only day available. OK. I forgot my phone at home that morning, and superstar being the servant she is dropped it off in my Jeep. So I tell her I'm going to go get my phone to see if they called also. Nope, but another organization did to schedule a first round interview. ALRIGHT GOD-I GET IT. Thank you!!!! So long story short, I've got both of them scheduled on the 20th in NYC. Checked flights Friday-almost $300 round trip, but waited until Saturday-only $179 round trip. Call the Pastor-I won't even have time to tell you all the cool things that are happening with him while he is in NYC on the plunge at the same time-he books me a room at the Hezballah House (as sick pete likes to call it) for $60 a night. That's a lot better than $260 in case you're not good at math.
I can't wait to be there-I can't wait to be there-I can't wait to be there!
But as sick pete reminded me today-I'm still here, so I'm trying to focus on following Jesus today.

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.

10 years in a day

So my days are beginning to run together, and the timelines in my brain are blurry after being on the ground at CEM for three days or has it been four? Either way, let's just say that one day in India is like ten years. That is a pretty good description of what reality is like here. Pastor said that sandrews said that on a trip here many years ago, and I was shocked by just how accurate of a statement that was. A day here can bring life events that you might be exposed to once in ten years living the way we live in the US of A. Here, life is hard. No matter what. As we drove to a 'village church' yesterday, we were what one team member describes as 'in the boonies.' (What does that mean exactly?) We saw things that I don't even know if I would have seen in 10 years living in the US. Men harvesting sugar cane and loading it on trucks. That sounds like a very simple sentence, and a very simple thing to do. But when it is in the upper 90's, and ther
