On Saturday afternoon I attended the ARTalum silent auction at MVNU. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and interaction and was able to walk away with a fine piece called "herb robert 144" by Clarence Adrian McKinney. I also purchased a mug molded by art professor, Jim Hendrix. Now, where might you find me? You might find me enjoying some rest and pleasure at some art museums and/or studios.
While mingling in the gallery amongst the creation, that on the walls and those walking around the room, I engaged in conversation with Dr. David Wilkes. He is a good and intelligent man. He asked me where I see myself in five years. I realized that I do not have a good answer to that question. All I know is that any plan that I make could be thwarted and withered into nothingness. Within five years I plan to complete my M.A.R. in the Spring of 2009, travel to Russia to complete the international adoption processes thereby increasing our family by one, and traveling to England, Scotland, and Ireland in the Summer of 2010. Where will I be in 2012? My answer is a question mark.

Where?

Wilkes is an incredible professor...I learned so much from him.
Plans are necessary and silly all at the same time.
That's why I get frustrated when I go home. Everyone wants to know what I want to do with my degree, and i can tell them things I want to do, but what we both know what they want is to know what "Job" i plan to go into. So i just tell them about peace corps and wanting to travel. Maybe go to seminary. Knowing perfectly well, I have no idea what I am going to to do, what i'll be like or even who I'll be in three years.
I'll be at a computer, intensely pondering what I will be doing in 2017.
Yes, what a dilemma? How do we be responsible and plan for the future but at the same time be totally open to the leading and guiding of the spirit???
