Soon and very soon.

I love this old song that says "soon and very soon we are going to be with God." It kinda matches with a lot of other things besides Jesus, like leaving one profession for another.

I loved coaching 7th & 8th graders. Now that was a group that were so confused they didn't have time to think about the near or far future. Everything was possible with those guys. They could see themselves catching a touchdown pass by diving over a horse drawn carriage with one hand with their wearing a red and black golf glove that their dad gave them when it got to small for him. Once you show them that you love them they will do all they can for you. Great times.

I loved working with high school students and young college men and women during the summers at the YMCA pools. Lots of work but great kids. These guys needed a job to help go to college and I meant for them to earn their money as well as get some unexpected education on life while with me. I'm so proud of those guys and girls.

I've loved most of what I have done during my life as a profession, and now that I'm at a point to "maybe" start another career I'm really puzzled. I decided to list things that I enjoy doing and see which one would be the best for me to pursue.

1. Eating - NOPE
2. Playing with Randi - NOPE
3. Being with my family - NOPE
4. Building stuff - MAYBE
5. Talking and sharing about the LORD - MAYBE

So where do I go from here?? (If you have a suggestion please comment so I can take another step.) OK, one more list today.
