Less Days...

Well, let's start with 10 days...

10 days before I depart for Colorado where I will be going through some training.

10 days to sort, organize, clean, purge, the remaining items that were in storage the past couple years.

10 days to see those people I have yet to see... Sigh, where does the time go...

3 days...

3 days, until my birthday.

I wonder if I will be fully supported by my birthday... that would be a cool present.... with that comes the freedom to focus on packing and shipping, and spending quality time with friends and family, doing necessary shopping, and seeing the Rose Garden in full bloom.

This past weekend....
I had the privilege of joining a team of people in leading our church congregation in worship. Very few things make my heart more alive than being part of leading others into worshiping God. Music speaks to my heart in very deep and profound ways. My Saviour loves, my Saviour lives, my Saviour's always there for me. My God, He was, my God He is, my God is always gonna be!

It was so great and yet sort of bittersweet... knowing it will be a long time until I have that privilege again in Boring, Oregon. But knowing that my heart is even more alive over in Western Europe.

In recent days...

I got to go to the Zoo last week... that was really fun! Thanks to my friend Adam! I had not been to the Zoo for years... I am not even sure when the last time was... But it brought back memories of my high school years when I was part of the ZooBoo experience... All dressed in black with painted faces to scare people at various points along the Halloween season train route. Those were good times...

this mountain goat (is that official?) was in the midst of shedding its winter coat... I thought it looked like a cardigan... you know... we in the northwest have to wear cardigans, sweaters, jumpers (as my british friends call them), sweatershirts, etc... in these in between hot and cold weather patterns. So this goat looks like it is wearing a half zipped sweater. :-) yeah... my random mine.

So those are some goings on in my days...
