I am wandering between Christmas and New Years and Brasil and America.
my bags are still being sorted out.
thank you cards have yet to be written.
behind, behind, behind rushes at me.
relax, relax, relax stares me in the face.
all together now the symphony plays, terribly out of tune.
and i just don’t know.

I watched the Kite Runner. the father told his son the worst sin is stealing. because all sins are stealing. lying is stealing the truth. immorality is stealing purity. i could go for that. all sin is stealing God’s deserved obedience.
My friend said all sin is you. selfishness. what you do for you. The Devil’s Advocate said Satan’s favorite sin was vanity. Others say pride. then there is the verse about the pride of life…and the lust of the flesh and eyes…
i found a website that lists out 637sins listed in the Bible. that is a lot.

i updated my resume. and filled out some online applications. and then went and talked to Carsons. in ten minutes i had a job, starting next Friday. it was so nice and easy. they have been really kind to me.
i’d actually hoped to work at the youth center again. i like working with kids. it is my thing. i like doing ministry work. not that all work can’t be ministry, because all work should be done for the Lord…but it just feels so much more like ministry when you are giving Bible studies and such. but missions like Good News are hit pretty hard financially…and a job there is not to be. so Erica was happy: “How much of a discount can you get again?”
so i will be starting classes at Ivy Tech next Monday, then working evenings and weekends at Circle Center. ’twill be quite a different life.
