Hmmm... That's a good question (posed by PDL today). I can think of a couple recent painful things I've been through. In one I immediately sense that God conformed me a little bit more like Him. In the other I can see His provision of better things and circumstances. While the painful times were not fun, I am thankful for the results both brought.
This is rubber meets the road kind of tough stuff that doesn't look so good printed on refrigerator magnets.
Am packing stuff for my trip to Nashville today. Stavesacre is playing Austin tonight. Might not be able to make it. We'll see. Got up early today. Our neighbor's boys are coming over at 6:15 every morning now as their parents go to work earlier due to a new job. This has me arriving at work at 7am now, since our girls are up early enough to take the bus to school. This has me tired today. I think my body is addicted to caffeine. I sure drag until that first cup of coffee. Lord willing, I'll be seeing a copy of the Rock Stars on God book today. That should be a fun moment. It's nice to have the May/June issue content (+more) up on the website. We also added ("we" being mastermind David Allen) a "where to buy" HM database feature that includes a pull-down menu by state with a list of stores that carry HM. Nice, eh?
