free box of kleenex

Every once in awhile someone tells me that they read my blog. They tell me that its funny, and it made them cry... and gave them hope. To all whom my blog has caused a shed tear... please let me know. I can mail you some kleenex. (or for those not from Oklahoma where all tissue can be referred to as "Kleenex" I can mail you a tissue.)

    I read every one of your blog posts, David, and usually wind up praying for you and Vanessa as soon as I'm done. I can't imagine going through what the two of you have been enduring. No kleenex needed, though. At least not yet...

Forgetting the Obvious

Well, its been a while since I've written... busy busy busy... but tonight's call has given me moments of free time to relax, including a trip to starbuck's across the street, and with such beautiful weather, I'm so lucky. Now I sit, under flickering flourescents, listening to the shoegaze drone of "Bethany Curve" every bit as relaxing as a nice dose of zolpidem. what shall I muse on tonight? I've been thinking alot on mid-life crises. Who has them?  I think I'm the sort that would have one. Even at 27, I still find myself wondering, "Is this what I want my life to be like?" I don't envision a life full of work, with only moments of fellowship. This will be temporary. I am applying for ophthalmology again, though with less enthusiasm. In part, because no matter how much I struggle for something, the only way it will happen is if God's will includes it. Isn't that right? I struggled hard for ophtho once, and I didn't get i
