Yup - sorta still here

Yup, I'm still alive and kicking. Mostly, I'm just posting so that my Little still knows I'm alive.

My son accidentally dumped a huge glass of water on my laptop - so there goes the laptop. Huge inconvenience because I can't access most of my work and it has a huge impact on my ability to do my job. So, yeah.

I don't blame him - it was an accident. I could have done it. Nevertheless, it adds a whole bunch of stress I'd rather not have.

what Else? The big J is home for Christmas. Pretty stoked about that.

Yup, so I'll be talking to you again in another month or two.

Does this work? Does it really matter?

So, this is a test post. And sort of a real one. My Little has a blog and she posts continuously. She finds it to be an outlet. She's amazing. She's an extrovert and it is delightful, funny, refreshing to read her posts. I love her!

I'm an extrovert too, but don't know that I want to share a bunch of thoughts out there. Or if I do, how candid do I really want to be? And if I'm not, then what's the point? Am I writing to myself? Is it totally self-agrandizing, vain, prideful and self-centered? Oh the battle!

I want to be what God wants me to be. I want to live like Christ. I want to serve my wife and my children the way that he would want me to do. Some days it seems like it ought to be so black and white and so easy and then the big load comes. I love the turn of phrase "the arms of adversity." Great talk I heard about our opportunity to become more Christlike as we serve and sacrifice.
