Never happened before

I have been told repeatedly that my last post (almost a month ago) was depressing and had people worried about me. So in honor of peer pressure...

Today I was hit by a bird while going to work on my motorcycle. That's right. I didn't type that wrong. I saw a gray "thing" "fall" from a tree in the median. It happened so fast that I didn't have had time to react, but I honestly thought it had fallen to the ground. Before I could finish that thought he or she slammed into the left side of my head.

It didn't actually hurt so badly. I wouldn't have know it was a bird except that it was soft. All the other bugs and rocks that I have "encountered" on my mo-mo are basically the same stinging consistency on my baby soft skin. I turn around to get a glimpse of it, but saw nothing.

I had to seriously think about whether this everyday motorcycle riding thing is worth it. But the serious thought left my mind after about a 1/4 mile of cool morning air and beautiful AZ sunrise. I guess it will take more than a bird to dismount this cowboy from his iron horse.

P.S. - The hump day never really came. It's been a long month full of trusting that God knows what He's doing. I honestly don't know when my questions will be answered, but I'll definitely blog it when they are.

Approaching hump day

This week thus far has been one of confusion frankly. I'm not really sure of why I'm in the AF, not really sure of why I'm taking college courses, not really sure we're going to continue partnering with our current Christian community, not really sure why we will if we do, not really sure what following Jesus looks like, and not really sure any of these questions will be answered.

However, I remember Lamentations 3:21-24 and 1 Corinthians 14:33. I remember Proverbs 16:3 and 9. I will remember Deuteronomy 33:29.

What will He do with the rest of the week?

Nothing

"The sin of our times is the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die." - Dorothy Sayers

I would say that I fall under at least one of those. You?
