Have you ever wondered if life is fluid or static? I have never really thought about it until recently. I have always thought of life in static terms. I guess I am a freak for compartmentalization more than I realized. Plans are good and its nice for things to not change too much for me. However, I have begun to realize that I have been fighting against the flow and the change of life.

By fluid, I mean that life is constantly changing and each day takes a new shape. Each day is an opportunity to "do life" and hopefully make a difference. By static, I mean that life is constant and unwavering and not amenable to any change.

I, myself, am learning to look at life as new opportunities and embrace changes rather than fight for the static status quo. Change and imperfection are okay and can actually enhance opportunity and maturity. So, I am learning and I hope that you will begin to ask yourself the hard question, "are you living live in a compartment or are you open to the excitement and challenge of each new day?"

Monday holidays always throw my week off.  Labor Day has had me running a day behind all week.

I played golf again this week.  I did not score as well but it was a tougher course.  I had a blast and can feel the fever creeping up on me.

Found a West Wing mini-marathon on TV yesterday.  I am so excited.  I love that show, it will always be one of my favorites.

Went to some friend's wedding on St Simon's Island yesterday.  The weather held out and it was one the most beautiful weddings I have ever been to.

Albany to the Georgia coast and back is a rough trip to make in one afternoon/evening/night/morning.

We have Youth Leader's Summit on Jekyll Island next weekend.  I am praying that Ike holds off. I am really looking forward to that.

That area is one of my favorite parts of the state.  It is really beautiful over there.

Next week is going to be a busy week.  I will be spending a lot of time of the road.

I am going to have to have a nap today.

There are several movies coming out soon that I am really excited about.

Tonight I get to hang out with some of my favorite people in the world!
