Carrying On
   Things are a little slow going right now. I am basically just waiting and hoping for monthly support from individual people to come in.  Not an awful lot going on right now. Last friday I got to talk about all the stuff that I'm going and kind of share my testimony for a half hour or so in front of the new Omegas out at Summit Pacific College. That was pretty awesome. Feels pretty awesome when you get asked to come and speak in front of a class that you were part of the year before. I was prepared to talk for about 10 minutes, as that's about as long as I have ever talked about all this before, at least in front of a group of people. But then I kind of met up with what I was more expected to do and spoke for about a half hour, so I was pretty proud of that.
     I'm almost done the book 'Blue Like Jazz' and I strongly encourage anyone to read it. It is flipping awesome. But I was reading one of the last chapters last week and I had a bit of a revelation. I kind of realized that while I for the most part I've been trying to be a good and nice person, which is great, but it's not even really the point. I realized as far as loving everyone incredibly all the time, I have been doing a very bad job. I have been very stingy as far as lavishing love on everyone around me goes, and I really need to start getting to where I need to be with that. Of course I can't do that on my own but only with God's help, but at least I recognize the issue that is there now.
      So pretty much not a lot else going on. I am just kind of waiting for the concert to see how that goes, waiting to see what response I get from the letters I sent out. I have my aim for hopefully being able to leave late March sometime, but we'll see how it goes. There still may be a bit of work to do yet. Only God really knows I suppose.
