Well it's late, I'm bored, I miss my friends, and the chore of packing confronts me so looks like a good time to write a blog.

I'm going to Lake Tahoe with my fam tomorrow morning for the new year. This is great because

a. there's snow and I like snow
b. I like the mountains and Tahoe's beautiful
c. there's no internet at the cabin so I will read and play games rather than wasting time on the internet searching for some inane thing like pictures of Poland
d. fire in the fireplace on cold nights
e. rootbeer, newcastle beer, red wine, and sparkling wine are coming with us
f. we'll watch Narnia with snow outside
g. it's quiet and peaceful so I'll have a good environment to consider 2006 and prepare for 2007

I must remember to bring some tea... Anyway, I will definitely need to process this year as I have all the others. 2005 was a hard year, full of loss and difficulties. 2006 started with more of the same but toward the end hope grew as prayers that go back 5 and 10 years were answered. I'll make a list of significant 2006 events and pray for 2007. I have a feeling 2007 will exceed my expectations and will be my best year yet!


"I remember the days of long ago;
I meditate on all your works
and consider what your hands have done.
I spread out my hands to you;
I thirst for you like a parched land."

(Psalm 143:5-6)
