Headline News
Well the other night I decided my hair was getting a little long. I got tired of looking into the mirror and seeing an over grown rats nest on my head, so I had the great idea to take matters into my own hands. Now in the past I had a good friend Richard Powell cut my hair, who does a great job, but unfortunately he wasn't anywhere near Arkansas last night... so I set up and put a sheet on the floor next to the mirror, pull out the electric clippers, and get to work. Putting the #8 guard on the clippers I start on the top of my head and everything was running smoothly. I then put on the 1/2" guard to work on the lower neck and sides (I'm thinking to myself I can do this!) and then it happens... the guard falls off the clippers right before I go in for a third run and all I hear is BZZZ. Yes that's right... I gave myself a bald spot. Fortunately, it was close to the neck line. Well mom and dad, glad you got a good laugh out of it. I call it the "stair step". Just watch, I might have started a trend.
It's Interesting how God works. As much as I was ready to hit the ground running in Ecuador doing "God's work" on January 5, 2009, I now see that He had a lot for me to do right here in Harrison, Arkansas. I needed to spend some quality time with my family. Which raises the question, what is God's work? What does God need us to do? I would like to answer that question with, nothing. He doesn't need us at all because he is God... but I do truly believe he wants something "with" us. Beginning with Adam in the Garden, to God's children in the Bible, to modern day, I find a common theme, God wants a relationship with his creation. He wants us to be with him, and he wants us to work alongside him. What an honor, that we would be used in his service.
