Life sucks.
How's that for a positive intro?
But seriously, this hit me yesterday. Hard. I read a story about a tree that fell on and killed an 11 year old girl while she was camping with her dad and brother. I had a tough conversation with a great friend of mine about the best intentions and the worst results. Work is slow, bank account is low, and I'm stressing about all the small stuff.
And then I go back to this 11 year old girl. And her family. And the life that was taken too soon. Or was it? What do I know about life, or how much time we're all supposed to have. What I DO know is that I make small things into big things. ALL THE TIME. I have my health. I have a comfortable home. No, not expensive. Not flashy. But comfortable. I have a wonderful wife who loves me and supports me. And yet I stress.
Did I mention I'm lazy? I know things I should do to be successful, and yet as John Mulaney puts it "Percentage wise, it is 100% easier not to do things than to do them."

That's another post, but these are ramblings from a guy who is trying his best, and just realized he was trying for all the wrong reasons. I probably check back in here, and this may become very 'online journally' for a while. Unedited. Unclear. Ugly. But w/e.
So actually, life doesn't suck. Life without purpose sucks. Life without vision sucks. And life without Jesus sucks. And my new prayer is to be able to keep that in sight.
Til next time.
