So I'm back in my old cubicle at Praise Fellowship church in Sheboygan, WI. More snow has piled up from the last blizzard last night and it's going to be a white Christmas. I got a drama ready for tonight at church. Yesterday I came in making styrofoam flats for the set that are now clouds on stage. It looks good, and now I'm working on a video series which I'm going to shoot in basement for some kids conference. that should be fun.
It's really good to be back in town and see familiar faces which I have not familiarized myself with in a long time. for instance, just the other night at the hookah bar i saw a friend (but not at first) because his orange beard hid his identiy very very well and when i finally recognized him, after an awkward moment of hesitation, I ran over and gave him a haven't-seen-you-in two-years hug. Pristine!
It's good to see the Ottens and be back in their house again, and last night I saw a bunch of buddies from high school. It's just good to be back. I even have had the opportunity to eat dinner with my dad and talk for a few hours. Many good things were said.
Did i mention it snowed....cuz it did. A LOT! I love snow regardless of how many people get seriously injured on the road--who cares about them! Let it snow! Good stuff...good stuff

Late Night Nap Comp
So you know its the end when you're taking late night naps starting at 10:30 pm to compensate for sleeplessness. I'm ready to go (It's 1:25)! One more day and I'm going to WI. I'm pretty pumped.
I really want to become a school bus driver in my lifetime--along with that, a camp counsellor--another one of my dreams. No, but I'm really serious about the one, I'm not just saying this for kicks and giggles. I want to drive a school bus driver and I've wanted to since I was young. I picked up an app for the Springfield school dept. although I can't start until I get my CDL which I have to be 21 to get, which would be in February. I think I'm gonna go through with it though because I'm dedicated to finding a way to maket his happen!
I wanna be that guy who the kids all like and can't wait to say hi to in the morning. The "coolest" driver ever. The one the kids parents make an additional Christmas card for and tuck in the kids bag saying, "give this to your bus driver, that special person. He's so nice!" ...WELL, enough fantasy there, I really hope it happens now!
I also really want to be a camp counsellor next summer. I'm gonna apply!

Regretless
Why should I live with regrets?
Why should life pull me, attached with strings, through the mud?
I guess I'm feeling a need to embrace God and hold to that relationship.
in Timothy somewhere it says to not forget about the gift that God gave you when you were prayed for, implying there is continually something more than just an initial spiritual high and then it's a done deal. I believe God wants us to chase him into a jungle of uncertainty, a very wild place, and keep hungering for unmentionable good fruits and my favorite, eggnog.
Why should we give up this fight? This plight? Lose Sight.
I've been through an interesting experience in the last month, and I'm learning about what relationships are all about and what they're not. It's been a cold, dark place that scarcely draws light on any deserving areas of passion.
I think love can be shared through honesty and being quiet--these are forms of wisdom.
So what I'm really craving is to become wise and still be small enough to call God my daddy. That is who he is after all, and I forget that he loves being that and that I mean so much to him. I've abandoned my daddy so that I can feel good about myself and keep a good image.
Why must I?
Why am I refusing to leave this little clearing that exposes the sky, deep within the dense jungle foliage? This place where I am right now, it's lacking adventure and devotion to my journey to a greater place. I get so caught up in what good fortune has fallen in my lap, and I dismiss my best friend Jesus so that I can bathe in the temporary highs of today as the stars in the clearing come clearer into view.
Lets leave this circle of ridiculous wonderment--my feet are sticking to the ground and my stride is slowed and the take off is slow. But I'm heading out into the dimly lit woods, so that I can chase my Lord into continually strange places--which bring fulfillment and healing from aches.
