Coffee Break's Up...

That was one long goodbye! The circle got smaller and the prayers and tears got more intense, and then it was just this little handful left. And still the goodbyes went on and Kaleo kept dropping in and out of here. There were some fun and games (whoops! Did I just upload that image? I'm sure that will get someone in deep trouble) with fires on the beach and ice blocking and randomness in our kitchen. And then Jen finally escaped, after many attempts to leave here which were almost all averted, I think by God because its always made us happy when Jen kept coming back. And now things are pretty quiet around here.

So if anyone has reason to mope, it's me, and I admit I have succumbed to some moping. But you know, life continues and it's calling at me to get back to it and I think that it would be a good thing if we all did the same. Some of us, of course, simply changed gears and moved onto new adventures pretty quickly. But I think there is a danger in inactivity right now, kinda like when you have been sick or grieving and you get comfortable with it well after the symptoms have healed, and at some point you realize that to get healthy you gotta get up off the couch and move on.

So to those of us still at loose ends two and a half weeks after Grad, my challenge is: Look at all we have to offer. Maybe the right job or other opportunity hasn't shown up yet, but man there is a hurting, needy world out there and I know that an hour's worth of prayer for open doors will, well, open doors. Maybe not for a paycheck here, but gold, silver and precious stones in heaven, and better emotions on earth to boot.

Coffee break's over. Let's get back to work.
