In Search of A Home

Life moves fast. I notice that more and more each day, and especially each year. But far more than one year of my life, I look at one year added to my nieces or nephews lives and I can see that this commodity is not a renewable resource, and at one point I'll have spent most of it. I sound like some old man saying, "oh, you grow up so fast." Not my words exactly as I have far more style, but the same meaning is evident.

Tallie marks adding up to around three months are on a wall in my brain of my return from South America, and it seems to have been spent quickly. The quick update is this, I have a vehicle now, a new job at Idaho Camera, (Sweet! Cameras in my hands, even if I don't own any of them.), and preparing for school. Of course, I've procrastinated on finalizing my application, fearing some letter of failed admittance, but I think everything will work out fine.

I'll be a struggling college student, but that generally means that I'll be making more money than when I was active in foreign missions. But! Fear not. Missions has not slipped out of my blood by any means. If anything, I've come closer to finding my place of working in ministry.

The language at hand is Japanese, hence the greeting. I suppose that will be my next place of learning when it comes to a foreign land, but I'm chomping at the bit to get back over to India to unload with a camera lens.

This is the first post to this new blog, but many will follow in suit. Once a camera of my own is in my hands you'll be sure to see this world through my eyes again.
