Expect the unexpected

I don't have a whole lot on my mind right now... Things did not go as expected at the job site. Instead of being home tomorrow by lunchtime, the earliest I will be getting home is tomorrow night or sometime on Monday.

The good that came out of this is that I made a decision to just hand this all over to God. He wants me to be here for some reason, even though I have no clue why. Instead of fighting it and stressing over it, I have chosen to just accept it. I am actually feeling some peace because of that.

I also made a conscious effort not to look at the news today. Some may look at it as burying my head in the sand - I look at it as a break from the propaganda efforts by both the left and the right. The only thing they have to sell is fear and despair, and I am tired of it.

There is so much going on in the next couple of months. It is going to be a challenge to get everything done. I already have a little girl at home who misses me very much, and I miss her. I miss all of my children. Many people - me included, sometimes - complain about the noise and chaos of a bunch of children. Try stepping away from that involuntarily some time. You will be amazed at how quickly you begin to miss it, and what a hole it leaves in your heart.

Today's message: Cherish the time you have with the ones you love. None of us knows how many days or hours or even minutes we have left on this earth.
