A Brief Recap of This Current Season:

As the year draws to a close, I decided to recap what all I have experienced in the past year. I then realized that years are rather arbitrary ways of marking time, so I decided to start with the last major transition in my life, which goes back about two years. Anyway, in this season of my life I have experienced (in no particular order):

• The death of both my grandmothers.
• The remarriage of my mother.
• Learning that God's sovereign plan for my life will not necessarily be revealed to me ahead of time, if at all, and that if I'm being conformed to His Word, walking by faith, and trying to please Him, I'm allowed some apparent freedom in doing what I want to do.
• Learning about the important role of the local church in a christian's life.
• Learning a great deal about the Bible, theology, and how to think both rationally and biblically.
• Getting prideful about newfound knowledge, and getting humbled for not realizing that all I know is a insignificant drop in the bucket.
• Learning patience and grace for others, and that not every hill is worth dying on.
• Indian food.
• Learning that walking by faith necessarily includes walking.
• Joining and quitting a band that later got signed.
• Heartbreak and getting over it.
• Building my own custom Jazzmaster guitar.
• Quitting my job and moving to a new city to find work.
• Moving again... and again...
• The Fender Jaguar Baritone Custom.
• Starting to look for a house to buy.
• Pre-shelled hazelnuts by the bag.

Things will continue to change. The bad always comes too soon and the good seems to take forever, but what can I say? God is good, and I can't really complain. Happy New Year.
