vast

I am currently reading "The New Friars" by Scott A. Bessenecker. It is a really good book about missionaries and living life devoted to loving the marginalized.
That is my passion. Somewhere, sometime within the last year, the love I have for people has been dumbed down and covered with a critical nature. I have started to seek my own way, and I have seen only negative effects of being so selfish.

Currently I am enrolling in MSU for the Spring 09 Semester. It feels like God wants my attention and wants to send me in a new direction-and why not? I am married and my life is in front of me. I am growing, and seeing things more objectively, not just in abstracts or generalizations.

Does that make sense?

I want to go to school and become professionally trained and certified so that I can go to the ends of the earth. I am meant for more than Missouri, or the U.S. for that matter. I know that my wife wants that too. There's a world out there...
