I sit in the middle of my life in my 40’s and it feels really interesting. Friday, Nikki and I ate supper with Ben and his wife Ashley. We went to a movie, listened to them talk about their jobs and their new marriage. It was a lot of fun remembering when we started . . . and now our son. Saturday Nikki and I drove to Tyler, saw our old stomping grounds, saw my parents . . .and then remembering back from where we came our world is so, so, so, different now and frankly better than we would have dreamed. Sunday, Nikki and I drove to Baylor and visited our daughter Jill.  We went to her church--the same one Nikki and I went to nearly 30 years ago. Seeing all those college faces made me remember how I moved forward not really knowing where it would take us feeling so insignificant and insecure. It’s good I couldn’t see where it was going then--I would have messed it up doing something in my own strength not realizing a straight line isn’t always the quickest way to somewhere. Looking forward, dreaming out, I get so excited about all that has come together and what could be in the not too distant future. Here’s my biggest lesson in all of this. I followed a path, but it took me to a different place than I had planned, but the place it took me was more fascinating than any place I had imagined. It wasn’t easy--and still isn’t--but man , what an adventure. I couldn’t imagine living life without adventure.
