"A pie in the sky"

There have been a lack of post due to a lack of thoughts. I suppose this occurs when one fails to take time to examine their life. So I will live unexamined for the time being.

After a quick visit from the Spires family this weekend, our house has returned to its usual state of messiness. Piles of Christmas presents here, a leaning tree there. But it is home, and I'm happy to have its warmth, comfort and other inhabitants every day when I come home from work.

I never imagined I would have a "desk job," yet I hear I am glued to my desk working for the 9th or 10th hour today. So am I doing what I'm called to do? Perhaps, for the time being.

Things I'm Looking Forward to this Christmas:

• Mint Brownies
• Once again gathering gift cards and dollars to put towards a Wii. (Last year's efforts were fruitless as car repairs were a higher priority -- but I've got a $100 start toward an 08 purchase.)
• Sleeping In
• Playing Games (Clue, Monopoly)
• Giving Rogers the present I bought today
• Going to see Its a Wonderful Life on the big screen.

Back to work for me. Read Rogers blog. She updated. And Phil, I owe you a call tomorrow.
