Welcome to the world of Gentlemen, gentlemen.
So I've been spending the last couple days doing some reflecting. Reflecting back on where I've been, and where I am today. Geez, I had this big speal all written out, until I took a look in the dictionary to define a word and realized that I was actually wrong from the start. Well there's five minutes of my life I'll never get back!
If you had come up to me a year ago today, and told me all the things that would happen in the last year, I probably would have said, "wow, can you really tell the future? And now that I know it, can I change it? Is there really no spoon!?!" Of course, if you could tell the future, you'd probably be clairvoyant enough to know how much of a nerd I am, and wouldn't have bothered getting into the whole thing.
But not the point I'm trying to make.
I bet sometimes you wish I'd just spare you all the middle stuff and just get to the point.
But then why would they have 'a round about way of doing things'?
There'd be no point.
I've been thinking about the progress I've made. Back then, I was stuck in a rut. I'm not going to blame anyone else for my own choices, but the situation I was in certantly wasn't helping me any. I can't believe some of the things I've been doing... the things I've been eluding to. A solid job, making a decent living. Getting a mortgage and buying a house. Buying a motorcycle and getting licenced. Going golfing with my grandpa. Enjoying spending time with my family. And above it all, living my life for Christ, which ultimately matters most.
So where to go from here? I've been asking myself that alot. I'm going to stop having these one-way conversations with my head and start praying about it more. Jordan has some fantastically amazing things in mind, and though I usually enjoy to be in the driver seat when it comes to most things, I don't mind riding his coat-tails on this one. Though I do confess that above all... I just want to go golfing again.
I can see why after 57 years, he's still golfing.
So did you watch the game last night? That was some pretty amazing stuff right there. What I found even more interesting, was that we watched all the other games going on as well as the Canucks game. It's been a few years since we could get excited about our home team, but this time I feel myself getting excited about the whole thing. But I have one thing that I'm not so excited about.
Outside my family, I'd say that 99% of my friends and collegues don't care about hockey. Imagine it! I want nothing more than to enjoy listening or watching the game with all my friends, or listening to it on the radio at work. But I can't. Because nobody wants to. In fact, not only do they not want to watch or listen to the game, but they are actively against it, because they would rather do other things.
Makes you a loner. Makes you a loner when it comes to being part of one of the most exciting things you can be a part of.
Makes me all kinds of sad.
