Vocational Discernment with Klingons, or Why I Haven't Been Blogging

You may have noticed a distinct lack of Adam on this thing so far. And that's because I've been doing lots of freaking out about my future this week. Before we left for San Diego I put in my application for the discernment process for the Episcopal priesthood. It has been on my mind all week because I'm not sure that's what I need to do with my life. There's that whole I don't suck at stringing words together thing that nags at me. So last night the boys and I talked it out and I'll be coming home with, if not a decision, then a pretty strong sense of direction. The guys were kind and helpful and wonderful. They helped me realize that when you're young is when you take the big chances, because you have the rest of your life ahead of you and to do anything less than that isn't living honestly or fully. And writing makes me happy. It is such a part of me. It is what I have to give the world. Sometimes you gotta dream big and do the hard unsure thing. Sometimes you have to get off your ass and do the thing that scares you shitless. So, yeah.

And then we watched the MST3K guys do their thing live.

And then we had margaritas and fish tacos.

Because God is good to me.

:-P
