Transformation

I feel a transformation happening in my inner self. Lately, I’ve felt new urges to grow up and be a better provider, caretaker, and husband.

For instance, my 2009 Christmas list comprised of mostly of hand tools. There is no logic in this. I’m not an especially handy man. I don’t even work with my hands too often. However, I had been desiring the simple tools my Dad has—wrenches, screwdrivers, saws, squares, and a place to put them.

We just finished installing wood floors in our bedroom. I can’t wait to clean out the garage and make a work table. I want to build a dog house. I’d like to build a new desk for my office. Why would an Apple fanboy geek that works on websites and print work want to do this? I feel this is the result of doing what is called “Growing Up”.

I’ve been on a kick of being manly—whatever that means. Manliness is defined in different ways to different people. But I see my tastes changing—my clothes, my music, my home—everything. I believe it’s God preparing me for something bigger…

Change is life and change is good. Life is good.
