2 Months

It's been 2 months since my last posting!

When you sit back and really think about it
a lot can happen in 2 months.

I've sent 100s of e-mails.
I spent $700 on a new muffler and other "bonuses."
I gave over a dozen talks on some faith-related topic.
I've witnessed a number of lives changed by the Holy Spirit:
some drastically, some just altered a bit.
I led worship music in about 6 Masses,
and more praise & worship sessions than I can remember.
My family flew out to Delaware for Isaiah's 1st birthday.
I celebrated my son's 1st birthday 3 times.
I've spent at least 10 full days over at the Agustins'.
I actually cleaned up my basement.
1 Weekend high school retreat.
1 praise band.
2 engagements.
1 funeral.

Every once in a while
in spite of the madness of schedules
we put ourselves through
all for (hopefully) very good reasons
we need to
stop time
and just breathe it all in
and appreciate
those things
or people
most precious
to us.

Echoing a good friend
who knew this fact 10 years ago:
I wish everyone I loved lived 2minutes away
so I could just hug them whenever.
That would be
Heaven.
