So Im starting my trek back to the land of the greed and home of the slave...

honestly, i do love NoVA and I do call it home.... sometimes I worry that I may become the way NoVA is as opposed to the community that Pittsburgh is. I miss having people take turns in merging traffic.... or waiting in line to buy something and talking to the stranger your standing next to.

I got to see Eli today. That little boy means more to me than anyone can even imagine. I know its not something that would happen but if I had the chance to adopt him, there wouldnt even be a need to think about it. I would do it in a heartbeat.

I have my dreams.... many may be far fetched but I can still dream, right? In a perfect world I would live in Front Royal, VA or surrounding area and Kim and I would be married.... we'd adopt Eli...... Id be on full time staff at New Life and be in the position to come up with creative ways to use technology for God. I would also be a contractor for MFC and surrounding companies so that I wouldnt be a financial burden on New Life. Most importantly I would be the best husband to Kim and we would be the best parents to our kids.... and we would have a Godly family.

Of course these are the dreams of a carnal man and there are very good reasons that God will not let some of them come true. But I am sure some will... I just have to trust Him and see what happens. I really dont like being single.... but God has His reasons and Im trying to trust Him.
