I've always been impressed with people who could multi-task, at least those who do it well. It doesn't count if everything you're working on turns out poorly. Some people can do several projects at one time, and all of them turn our well. Amazing.
That got me to thinking about God's work in my life. God is working in every area of my life at the same time. And He's working in every area of everyone else's life while He's at it. And somehow he has the skill to account for the intersection of all these lives He's trying to shape, using each encounter, each situation, and each person as a way to shape the next.
What a marvel God's work is in my life, and that he can use my life to help shape the life of another person. That's exactly why He has the rights of the potter over my life--to shape it as He deems best. It is not mine to shape, it is mine to be shaped. Lord, help me to be pliable in your hands.

Snow On Vitusha
This is a picture of our family on the top of Mount Vitusha in Sophia, Bulgaria in 2003. It has been a long time since I've seen that much snow. In fact, I would have to go back to my childhood in Michigan, when snow came all the time and piled up into big mounds. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to play with the kids in the snow, just like I used to.

Back To This One
I changed blog sites for a while, but alas, all my files were deleted off the site that hosted it. So for the time being I am going back to this site. I am just finishing a week of vacation and it has been great. It's been one of those weeks of doing nothing, followed by a nap, and then maybe some honey-do work, but nothing strenuous. It has given me time to reflect on my relationship with God, my family and the church. I am excited about the beginning of another year because I know God will is already there and his faithfulness never ends. Happy New Year!
