Adventure Anyone?

So, the economy has finally reached me and I have lost a handful of students. I need to find something new and a little more stable. I feel like I know the pieces of the puzzle, but I don't know what the picture on the box looks like. The perfectionist in me wants to have it all figured out before taking the next step, but I realize it wouldn't exercise my faith if that were true.

The journey continues. I'll learn as life unfolds before me. I guess lately I've just been in a funk because I feel like my wheels are just spinning and it's the same ol', same ol'... dishes, cleaning, teaching, bills... wash, rinse, repeat.

My heart is longing for adventure and to see some new things. I'm longing to embark on conversations that embrace the deep and plant the seeds of new fertile memories. I suppose I'm just looking for the reassurance that life and the meaning thereof is FAR more interesting and meaningful than the mundane. But until then... I will do my best to be faithful with the tasks at hand.

God meet in the wilderness, but also at the well.

Cracks me up!

I know, I know, I don't blog nearly enough as I should. Melissa is always encouraging me to "write a blog about it!" and "you gotta seize the moment!" So this morning, I've been inspired :-)

My wife can make me giggle and giggle. She is VERY funny and this morning she made me laugh.

She informed that she was going to go into the kitchen this morning to bake a cake that she needs to take to work tomorrow and from the other room I hear,

"Awwwwww CRAP!"
"It's BOILED!!!" (see exhibit A... above)
<I commenced giggling>

"You should label these for me or something so I'll know!", she said.
(even though these are the same eggs that I boiled for her and informed her which carton was which:-)

Here is exhibit B (note the brown shells):















And in a valient effort to serve my wife, below is my feeble attempt at helping the said problem of sleepy-headed-egg-mis-identification:







(hee hee! more giggling...)
