Sitting in the ATL this weekend - won a grant to attend a conference here, and that gave me an opportunity to do something I really enjoy - travel.  For work or pleasure, I always enjoy it.  Some people complain about the planes or waiting or delays or crappy whatever, but none of that bothers me.  I really enjoy it.  Why, you ask?  I think it is because I can be among many people - but don't need to engage with them.  In my work, there is not an option of engaging - in order to be successful, I must engage.  With each person I pass, see, enter a room with, etc.  If I don't, people think something is wrong, I don't like them, I'm mean, I even have had some people at our company say that I scare them.  (Even thought we have had limited interaction, sometimes just on the phone.)  Back to the ATL.  I got to spend a couple of days with my brother and his family, and that was such a great time - it is crazy that my nieces are growing up...

Well, certainly life is an interesting character.  I am amazed at all of the things that seem to be happening in this life that all of the sudden change directions, tacks, or whatever term you choose.  There are moments in life where I certainly lack clarity on what is real, true, or at moments even just happening.  There are moments where I feel that God through the Holy Spirit gives me complete and utter clarity.   At least I think that.  And then He changes direction on me.  Not necessarily a bad thing, just seems to happen.  And so it goes.  I think I know something.  I sense it to be true.  I pray about it, feel peace and clarity.  Move forward.  And doors close.  And the only thing I can do is praise Him for showing me the truth.  For closing the doors.  For listening to my stupid little pleas that must seem like such stupidity to Him in His Godly eyes looking over the world.  But this is the Love He ...

The throws of winter in Michigan.  As I convalesce (not in Spain) with my second sinus infection of the winter throws, I am at home trying to get healthy, and two snow days weren't even enough to be ready for today.  But it is good.  Ok, the pounding head this morning wasn't so great, but time to be with Jesus this morning has been precious.  There is a big stretch coming in the lives of the KKFT, and I am still in the middle of working through this stretch to understand just what it is that God would have me do going from point A to point B.  I feel in my spirit and my mind I know what that is, and it would be answers to things God has put on my heart for over a year now.  However, it is not something that can happen overnight, and I am really trying to honor others in this, and not just go about it the way I feel best.  That has been my pattern in the past, but God continues to stretch me in my heart, my mind, and my spirit.  I am certain He is...
