My boring life

i was looking at some old blogs at my old xanga.

The posts were funny or interesting or deep... and got lots of comments.

Now the posts are... just kinda boring.

And i think so is my life.

i got old.
i'm no longer in that stage of wondering what is next. Will i ever get married? Who will i marry? Where will i live? What about this?
No, things kinda just go.
Things aren't new or thought-provoking.
i just go about life each day.
Sure, sometimes i listen to a sermon with an interesting quote. And sometimes i read a good book that provoke me or challenges me. And i certainly can read a verse in the Bible i like.
And there are some fun moments in life, some laughter, some funny things.
But it just seems like life goes by.

i wake up, take care of the baby, pray with my wife, read the Bible, try to do some work, spend time with the family, maybe call a friend, watch a movie, check espn and steal some quiet moments in the bathroom reading a book and i go to bed again.

i want a more exciting life.
i need to take some more steps of faith.

Today i am thankful for...
1. Snow... it makes things a mess and traffic slow... but what a creative invention by God. It is fun and beautiful and cool
2. a flexible schedule... though it sometimes drives me crazy, it is a great blessing
3. a hot shower

We'll see what the next day brings
