Be Mine

Yesterday I learned to snowboard with some friends from work. We headed out to our little ski spot, took a $5 lesson and spent the next 4 hours struggling to do the most basic of things - stand up. Learning something new intrigues me a great deal. I wrap myself in the experience - watching from a distance as I pick up small pieces and slowly form the puzzle. Today I have a huge, multi-color bruise on my backside and a bit of a headache. But on one of my final runs, I reached the bottom without a fall - ah, success!

Saturday was a busy day on Ambulance Nine and Sunday was class and worship with the church. The class was nice enough - wisdom from Proverbs 2. I can't say I was challenged in anyway - or even that I learned anything, but it was fine. Worship then was a flurry of activity. Songs sung, prayers prayed and then I had the little kiddies downstairs in Bible Hour. These guys are smart and I hope I was able to share something with them that might last a moment or two.

Today I went downtown to work out with the new recruit class. The guys I went snowboarding with, they came as well. We walked around our old drill yard and laughed remembering good times and bad. We ran the stairs with the recruits and ran the streets as well. Afterwards, I headed home to a nice nap and some time working on my house.

I am still trying to get comfortable with the fact that my life will not be what I once thought it might be. I am not even sure I could explain that last sentence - but it is full of truth. For now, I am leaving that alone.

Maurie and I are working our way through the Bible together - aloud. Numbers 9 here we come! "Spell Check Complete - No Errors Found" Nice.
