There is something I see happen almost every day that always seems to baffle me.  The way I drive home I cross over railroad tracks that are right before a stop sign.  The Department of Transportation has taken the time to paint a white line on the road to mark where you should stop if you want to be safely off the tracks and out of the way of the arm that comes down to prevent you from crossing the tracks while a train is going by.  This intersection often gets backed up between 5-7pm and there are many times where the stop sign is backed up passed the railroad tracks.

Let me start this blog by saying that in no way am I a Tebow hater (I may have lost of a few readers just with that sentence).  Rather it is quite the opposite.  I have a massive amount of respect for Tim Tebow and what he is doing.  With that being said, I have a bone to pick with a lot of the Christians out there and their response to Tebow.  They have gone way overboard on the Tebow craze in stereotypical “Christian” fashion.

So I’ve sat here for a few minutes and stared at the computer screen trying to figure out what I’m going to write this blog about.  I am trying to write more often, but right now I am not really sure about what.  I could do another Christmas blog, I could write about my job because I haven’t done much of that, I could write about a lot of other things but right now I’m not really feeling it.

Growing up my extended family would always get together at my grandparent’s house on Christmas Eve.  We would spend all day together eating lots of food (apparently my grandma thought we starved the other 364 days of the year), play games, and enjoy each others company.  There was always the routine visit from Santa (who has really slimmed down and got some face lifts in recent years).

Today the world lost a huge innovator in the world of personal electronics.  In case you live in a cave and haven’t heard, Steve Jobs died today at the age of 56 after battling cancer for a while.  As I look at my facebook wall it is covered with people saying things about Jobs.  It is hard to find a person today that has not owned at least one Apple product.  It is crazy to think about all the lives he has had an impact on.  With Jobs taking a leave of absence this past January, and then stepping down as the CEO of Apple this August, people had to know his health was seriously suffering.

Have you ever been in a place where you just longed for change? Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to pack everything up and just move somewhere else. To a place where I didn’t know anyone, a place that was completely new to me. I’m a bigger dreamer, and the idea of being able to reinvent myself fascinates me. The chance to leave everything I know, everything I am comfortable with, and start all over again. What would I change, what would I keep the same? [Read more…] about When Life Gives You…
