Changes

Change always seems to hit so fast and unexpectedly. Just when you get into the groove of things, change happens. You graduate high school. Summer ends. You buy a mac. The OC stops recording. You move to college. People move away. It's inevitable, so why does it always seem so surprising when it happens? If it is indeed inevitable, why do we expect things to stay the same?

So many things are changing at dcf--new house churches, pastors leaving, new pastors on the horizons. It's exciting but at the same time, disappointing. I mean, I don't want Winn or Nathan to leave, but then on the other hand, I don't know who God has in store for dcf.

Whenever I start thinking about change, I think about that stupid book, "Who Moved my Cheese" that Mom made me read in 8th grade when we moved to Greenville. It's all about how people respond to change. The mice look all cute and fun on the cover of the book, but I hated that book. It was not cute and fun.

Change happens.
