hodgepodge

I’ve always enjoyed the word “hodgepodge.” To me, it’s a funny word. Like hamster or hedgehog. But “hodgepodge” describes this post perfectly; it’s an overview of what’s been going on in my life.

1) My wife is now seven months pregnant. It’s not been the most enjoyable pregnancy. I think she’s gotten every symptom there is. Poor thing. It’s difficult not being able to help much. Of course, I rub her feet and back, help her up the stairs, and try to make sure she doesn’t do anything she shouldn’t be doing. But still, I feel pretty helpless. And little Elias is a busy little kid. Kicking. Hopping. Flipping. Doing triple axles. He’s quite energetic.

2) Speaking of Elias, Jessica and I have started prepping our condo for his arrival. First on the list: painting, tossing a lot of junk, massive amounts of cleaning, and registering his official blog address. (I know, we’re so 21st Century.) I hate painting. I hate going through my own junk. And I hate cleaning. But I don’t mind blogging. Anyway, we have a lot to accomplish in a short amount of time, and our condo isn’t the biggest place in the world, so keep us in your prayers! OK, so don’t spend too much time praying for us unless you’ve spent time praying for those affected by the cyclone in Myanmar or the earthquake in China.

3) Pete Wilson is my pastor. And despite that, I like him. Seriously, that right there is a huge step for me on my journey toward becoming a real grown-up. I’m not scared of Pete. In fact, I met with him yesterday and I was able to talk to him about something very personal. A year ago, I would never have been able to tell my pastor something personal. Part of the reason is that my last pastor couldn’t remember my first name. But I also wouldn’t have felt comfortable talking to him. So, I’m thankful to God for Pete. He listened to my story. He didn’t give me any concrete answers. He just told me that he’d walk with me on my journey. A companion is far better than all of the answers in the world. Thank you, Pete.

4) One of the books I’m reading right now is Augusten Burroughs‘ latest A Wolf At the Table. It’s a memoir about Augusten and his relationship (or lack there of) with his father. It got a horrible review from Entertainment Weekly, which worried me, since EW is pretty much my enlightened source for all entertainment. But Wolf is good, personal, and sort of feels almost true. Almost. Which for Augusten is pretty good.

5) My friend Tom Davis has released a book called Confessions of a Good Christian Guy. Honestly, I haven’t read it yet, but it is sitting on my couch sort of looking at me, begging to be read. OK, not really. But you might want to check it out. I’m not a good Christian guy, so I’m not sure it was written for me.

6) I love the new Coldplay song “Violet Hill.” Though I think it’s actually a sad song, it has been a comfort to me of late. I’ve been playing it every time I feel sad or lonely or just pensive. But for some reason, that song makes me smile. You can get the song free by going to the band’s website.

Hope each of you are happy, or at least, content. Peace.
