So many mission calls, so many new missonaries heading out. It's such an exciting time. And though it's not me heading out, I think I'm living vicariously through all the young men that I know. I swear I am just as excited as they are about opening that big, white envelope. One thing I have noticed is how right their call seems. Hmmmm how do I explain this...
Before they open it, it's a huge mystery. They could go anywhere. Anything is a possibility. Then, when the secret is revealed, it seems like it was always meant to be that way. It just fits so perfectly. With their personality, with their likes and dislikes, with who they are and who they will someday become. And you know they will be so great there, because that is where they belong. And you laugh that you ever considered them going anywhere else. Because where they were called is where the Lord wants them, and it's exactly where they need to be.
Oh how I admire those young men. I am so grateful to them for the incredible example of service the past, present and future missionaries are to me. And I'm not going to lie, I sorta wish I was going on a mission.

way to late to think of a title for this
"What childishness is it that while there's a breath of life
in our bodies, we are determined to rush
to see the sun the other way around?"

Yesterday, I didn't go to work. I didn't go anywhere. Which is unusual for me as of late.
Today, after work, I came home. And stayed there.
The next day, 8+ hours.
And after that, a quick trip to echo. Oh joy of joys. I need water so badly, even if it is just for one day. I need to clear my head.

I'm taking a break for a bit, becoming a bit of a recluse. The only problem is I can only take so much of doing nothing. Obvious in the fact that tomorrow I am back at it again.
Tomorrow, 10+ hours at work.The next day, 8+ hours.
And after that, a quick trip to echo. Oh joy of joys. I need water so badly, even if it is just for one day. I need to clear my head.

It's time for a post...
Soooo... I'm practically a golfer now. Practically. I'm as close to being a golfer as a non-golfer has ever been. In case your wondering how I am able to claim this title, I am working at the Lee Creek Golf Course for my second season. I think it's been about 5 years since I picked up a club with the intent to swing at a ball, so don't ask me how I lucked out with this job. And inspite of my lack of hands on experience, I am getting pretty good at all this golf lingo. Shotgun, scramble, eagle, birdie, boogie, KP, the best kind of balls and club, what makes a 'slow green' or a 'fast green', I can organise tournaments and finally understand what a handicap is. Plus I'm pretty good at driving those golf carts. And even though I don't consider myself to be a golfer and most likely never will be, I find myself being sucked into this place. I want this place to do good, so succeed. I like nothing more than to see the parking lot full and every tee time booked. Why else would I agree to working 10 hours today and probably more than that tomorrow?
One of these days I'm going to go golfing for real. But first I think I might sneak onto the range when no one else is there. The only problem is, when I do get time off, the very last place I want to be is at work. Right? I think you know what I mean. But that's alight, cause I'm determined, It will happen this year. Then I won't be such a hypocrite.
Sorry this is a useless post. I am trying to stick to my summer's resolution of blogging consistently and this is whats on my mind right now. I will try not to bore you with any more posts about work.
And now, I've got to get back to work, there's about 500 carts out there waiting to be parked.
Oh joy, I love tournament weekends.
