Changes
One more week until the move...this new adventure will bring many changes and I'm beginning to realize that that is life. Perhaps you can exist in stasis, but you can't really LIVE. The nature of LIVING is dynamic as we grow and develop and move wherever the spirit takes us.
After next week Adam and I will be moving to Maryland where we will have a new house, a new community, new jobs, and a new church. It is exhausting and exhilarating to think about. I am looking forward to making the move. I'm tired of talking about the move and the church plant--I'm ready to start DOING it.

Good Stuff
I spent four hours at Caribou on this beautifully cool, rainy day. Now, I'm at PJ's Coffee on Highway 92, using their free wireless service. I am also excited because PJ's originated in my home town of New Orleans. In fact, I remember going to PJ's way back in the 80s before coffee shops were even popular. Nothing like reading and writing at the coffee shop on a freakishly cool June day.
I also finished reading Tale of Two Cities. Although a bit difficult to get into, I must admit that I was totally sucked in and couldn't put it down for the past two days. With themes of redemption and resurrection recurring throughout, the story gave new meaning to the idea of laying your life down for a friend. Wow! Good stuff...
