A Day Off

Today Im taking a day off. Acctually I have to do a bit off work this morning but then im going camping. Just over night but still getting away for a day is good. We are going to the property we were given to check it out and Tavis and Miranda and the kids are coming and Karen and John will come up later tonight. Its good to take time up there No TV, No Cell phones, No Computers. Just campfires and walks and messing around. Take a day off !

On hiatus

Not even sure if thats how you spell hiatus? but it sounded good in my head. So far my search for summer has been somewhat delayed. Snow in april doesnt make for a summerland. Its funny how weather can make you disgruntled with the place you live. Lack of sunshine has me considering a crash diet so i can fit in Heathers suit case. I also have a bum angle/foot at the moment. I woke up and my foot hurt but when i stood up everything was fine. Walked around town with prince and everything was fine. woke up yesterday morning and almost fell down the pain was so bad. worked all day up and down ladders and as long as I was on the foot and moving it was better. Went to bed and had to swing myself down the stairs because it was even worse. Once i got going it was a bit better but still worse than yesterday. very wierd. So my thought for yeaterday which i shared with will last night was that we know a young fellow that has been raised in a christian home with homeschooling i think and now that he has graduated and headed off to college he has turned into an "atheist". I ve heard from a few people that they are worried about the fellow and all day yesterday all I could think at work was a bout this guy and how good it was going to be when he came back to a relationship with God. Probably pondered it for a couple of hours. And I think its because when he does come back he will have his own relationship with God. You cant deny God when you know him. A Fellow named Larry was preaching and he shared a bit of his testimony and said when youve wondered off from god even hanging out with your friends isnt fun. Will and I agreed that people that we have known that have followed the same path alwys feel the need to discuss and argue their point of view. They arent comfortable with it. They cant handle the fact that they could be wrong because they are coming from a place where they feel they were wrong once already. Its funny. I couldnt help but feel that parents have their identity wrapped up in how their children turn out. Raise up a child in the way and when they get older they will not depart from it. Im not sure that that means they arent going to venture off for a while. I ventured quite a ways but like Larry said something is just not right and you never feel settled. I dont feel very settled these days but for a different reason. I have a lot of questions these days and no real answer manual. So theres lots of praying lots of bible reading and lots of wrestling and its fun. I think thats the difference. Its an exciting journey. And I feel excited for the young fellow as well because hes going through aprocess and no matter how long it takes when he gets through it he will have the sweetest revelation for himself. Might take till he in his 80s but when it happens its good.
