Recently, I've replaced the guitar strings on my electric guitar and acoustic guitar. It's quite refreshing. I need to write more. Music is such a release for me... as is writing. I think I find myself or at least the core of who I am in those things.
I think one of the humbling things to know in life is that there is always more. I could look at where I am and be totally dissatisfied because I'm not "there" yet. Not seeking righteousness, not pursuing to serve God and others, not having carved a path or figured out exactly what I want in life...
In all these and more if I begin to think that I have arrived or have achieved "there" than please, someone humble me quick. It gives me a strange hope to know that I won't attain perfection on my own. That there is always something more...
I await eternity with great expectation.
I will see Jesus and I will live out all my days with Him. Both here and there. Heaven and eternity are the "there" that these days press ever towards. This life is but a breath.

Belated birthday...
Greggy-D
It's been over a month... That's too long for sure. My health came back to normal from the ear infection stuff. It's the kind of thing that would be like watching grass grow. Little by little until you are facing a different reality - in this case a very positive one. My birthday was exactly a week ago today. My golden birthday to be exact. Twenty five on the 25th. It carries a sort of "weighty-ness" to it. It was a good day. Birthday lunch with the youth staff and a dinner with friends. I'm keenly aware of my mid-twenties state though.
I haven't had a "Happy New Day" in quite some time. I miss those roommate bonding moments.
I'm not exactly where I thought I would be by now which is ok, but sort of not either. I'm in the midst of "carving" a path right now. The next step decision is soon approaching. Faith Community Church has offered me the position of staying on for two more months and I have accepted.
I guess some of the latest exciting things are:
Youth Sunday is coming up this weekend, and also a crawfish boil.
Summer backpacking trip to Yosemite N.P. with some buds.
New Headlamp and I won an auction on ebay today for some backpacking cook-gear.
Faithfulness and discipline are things I always need more of. G'nite
