I'm not sure if I'm processing this week, if I'm suffering from writer's block, or if I just don't have anything intelligent to say.

I did find this cool statement on my sister-in-law's blog:

And yet, I am realizing that every hoop, no matter how useless it seems, brings with it some genuine life lessons. Today while jumping through my hoop...I realized that I have hit a point in my professional life where I could be staunchly unteachable. I hope that I always look for the learning that can happen in the routine and repetitive experiences as easily as I can the rousing and rich experiences.

Thank you Sooz...your words echoed in my heart this week a few times, most memorably when I was in sore need of a change of heart during one of my routine "hoops". You know, it's not really that far of a chasm between grudging martyrdom and joyful service to one's family...and cranking up the Third Day worship album helps, too!
