A random update
I guess I should go back to my old blog, since we're not technically moving anymore. . .
On Monday at small group there was drama so we had to meet at Borders. Our assignment was to find a book title that described where we were in life. Heather chose "Life is funny" . . . Lee chose C.S. Lewis' "An open mind" . . . I chose Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas."
Aside from my identification with the plot line (which is basically six people's stories who are told in reverse order, in halves, who are loosely related to each other) the title says a lot about where I think I am right now . . . An atlas of the clouds . . . But the clouds are ever changing, but they're always there somewhere, anyway, and . . . I guess the transitory aspect is what I'm feeling. It's not at all like when I actually was transient, with no permanent address and everything up in the air. No, now it's more like a permanent transition or something. I'm not the same person I am when I left California, but I'm still me, you know?
I just found out that they're bringing me out for worship conference. While it makes me happy to know that I'll still have a job at the end of June, the beginning of July is beginning to worry me. I need to just talk to mark, but that's a little easier said than done. I'm worried because there's not a huge demand for what I do here in Greeley, what with all the college students who are basically willing to do it for free, and the thing at Atlas (my church) hasn't really panned out either. Besides, I don't want to give up on PD yet, as much as I question some things, I really believe in what other churches are doing with it. It's my community that I care about. I don't want to leave them. And to really pursue anything else, even just a side job to pay the heating (which is outrageous) would take too much time away from them.
other things, though, I've found time for, to protect my sanity. Cooking at all hours, for instance, or playing warcraft with tom (I'm up to two characters, but my first will always be my favorite), or scrapbooking, which is way too expensive but I promised Millena that I'd finish this one from our trip to the zoo, and that was probably six months ago . . .
it snowed yesterday. It looks pretty outside . . . I'll try to remember to take some pictures later. for now though, I think I need some breakfast potatoes.

Yay! You finally updated this blog! Don't worry. Things will come out okay in the end. Breakfast potatoes are a good way to start. Oh yeah, so I went to this restaurant in Idaho, and they didn't have baked potatoes. And, I'm thinking, "But isn't this Idaho?!" So, yeah. <3, bev
wow - no baked potatoes in Idaho - that's bizzare . . .
