Whatever Takes Us Away

Life is hectic! If anyone does, from time to time, read this digital journal of mine, they will know that my life is no less strained than anyone else. I have FOUR kids (and a pseudo-adopted fifth - aptly named Number 5), a full-time job, a full-time college schedule and a part-time youth and children's position with my church. Combine this with everything else that goes on from one day to the next and you get one crazy bit of life - my life. As Tina and I have discussed numerous times something needs to change before we go insane (rather, before I drive her insane with my non-stop lifestyle). Something had to give.

At the end of December I will be hanging up my position with the church, something not easy to do, but necessary. I feel I have been neglecting the program there with everything else going on, and I need to focus on school for myself, my family, and need to allow someone else to step into a position of leadership. This comes with a heavy heart, hours of agonizing thought (because I hate to think to heavily), and much prayer as to my future.

The blog here, then, will get back to its original plan and design, a digital journal for me to keep and for anyone (I mean anyone who might think my life is worth reading about) to read that may encounter, by chance or by accident, what happens to happen in my life. The picts of the youth group will soon disappear, the links to certain websites will disappear, and the overall appearance may once again be changed. However, if you are one of the few (I mean very few) who subscribe to and read this blog, I will not change any of the settings that would affect your RSS Inbox - you will still receive (why you would want it I don't know) updates weekly from the blog; assuming there are weekly updates to be sent.

That said, you will once again read more about my life, my (mis)adventures, my kids, family and my mishaps as they come through real-time. This is life, and it changes some times, and this is where I (re)begin.
