A dream come true....

It's not what you are thinking. Or is it? I remember as a young adolescent having the dream of being a performer. I wanted to be a 'movie star' and move to Hollywood or New York City and be on stage. Or on the big screen. The movie thing didn't really seem that possible to me back then, so I do remember wanting to be in plays. Perhaps that is why I was involved in my senior play in HS, and various community theatre productions in college.
But my dream was to be on stage. On Broadway. Under the lights. In a real production. This weekend, my dream came true. It was not on Broadway, so I suppose it was an 'Off-Broadway' production. Actually, it wasn't much of a production. It was a simple set. Black boxes, folding chairs. There were lights, though, and I got to act with one of the most incredible actors (and mentors by the by) that I have ever met. So I finally made it. As blue eyes says-"if I can make it there, I'll make it....anywhere!" My dreams come true. Acting in New York City. Under the lights. Off Broadway. Unbelieveable that some creeker (cricker) made it. Thanks God for that opportunity.

P.S.-My beauties are way ahead of me in their lifetimes-they were on stage yesterday as well making their nyc debut. Tears in my eyes as I watched the girlies display the grace and poise and beauty that God has blessed them with. The excitement and pride and love almost made my heart crinkle.

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
