[Wonder why blogging has been slow? I spent the weekend in Redding, CA with some very special people.]

I am ending my trip to Redding, CA after sitting in airports waiting for fog to lift to get back home and even experiencing an airport terminal evacuation. Travel this week was about friends.  I was able to spend most of my time at the Miller’s home and enjoy them while showing support as well. Randy and Kristyn are truly an inspiration. Randy is a family man, concrete contractor and guy in the church worship team who ended up in a cutting edge band (The Myriad) touring the US and on MTV! His battle with cancer is just beginning, but being the toughest dude I know and a person of faith I see God healing him.  That, and the thousands praying for him add to an amazing story of God’s grace and the best of Christianity being expressed.

Yaksfamily

My family is hanging out with me at one of my fave coffee shops of all time, Yaks.  I just ate an enormously delicious cinnamon roll and have big coffee mug in hand.  I will be meeting with my good friend Erich, working on my wedding remarks for Zach and Karina, and hoping my family can get through some online lessons for their homeschooling.

After 5 months some things really do change.  Yaks, for instance, is adding a fancy coffee roaster.  They are not settling.  I love that.  Other things here in town will be the same the next visit I make.  This reminds me to not settle in with life, but to keep dreaming, growing and living.

How have you NOT settled and is that being “unsettled” a good thing to you?
