Mental noodling on issues close to my heart.

A perfect morning in ABQ


I've always thought that the moniker "The Land of Enchantment" was a bit overly dramatic for New Mexico. I guess I'm just a skeptical transplant. I'd vote for "The Land of Wonder". I've seen some things here that I thought were absolutely beautiful and fascinating, but I am rarely enchanted.

This morning I am completely content. I am sitting in the backyard with my feet up on our patio table, listening to some good music on my laptop computer (the Buster generation's replacement for the stereo system); the weather is cool with a light breeze and I'm still in the shade for a few more minutes until the sun gets a bit higher.

I have been preoccupied with the possibility of a new relationship in my life lately. I think I am past that now. It'll come when it's time. I think I pushed too hard without realizing it. I've got dear friends here and in Ohio to talk to and share with.

I am so thankful for the blessings in my life. My amazing children. My rich friendships. My (now multiple) ministries. I am being stretched and grown almost continuously now. Tomorrow may feel different, but I'll take today for what it is. Thank God!!

My brother. I love you. You know this. Even though you were originally a dork. Thank you for sharing. Whatever comes to be... your family... in partix... I am with you all the way. You and the kids are always in my thoughts.

BTW let Sean know that I'll be at the Chicago Field Museum next month because work is sending me out there. So, why not see Sue, the greatest T Rex skeleton to date?

Hope all is well with you brother. Remember, I love you... tons and stuff.
