I have been thinking about things a lot lately. It makes me wonder if I am on the verge of some kind of a mid-life challenge. I know people can tend to do some pretty dumb stuff from time to time but I don't see myself engaging in any deviant or weird behavior. I just know that life is moving on and I am in the middle of defining moments. The ministry that God has chosen for me to lead is facing its own defining moments. My family is changing and in the next year will change completely with both kids being out of the house and on to better things. I am trying to lose weight because I know I need to but it has been extremely hard and very challenging this time. I am slowly making progress but I have thirty five more pounds to go.

I have decided that red sports cars, open (unbuttoned shirts) with gold chains or other mid-life kinds of things are not for me. In a perfect world I would drive the above truck to work every day with a dog as company. I don't know if this will ever happen but dreams produce hope and hope is what keeps us going. This is a very selfish centered post but hey it's my blog.

Someday when colleges have been paid off I'll drive the truck and maybe even the dog will get to go along.
