" When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world...

...I found it was difficult to change the world,
so I tried to change my nation.

When I found I couldn't change the nation,
I began to focus on my town.
I couldn't change the town and as an older man,
I tried to change my family.

Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself,
and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself,
I could have made an impact on my family,
my family and I could have made an impact on our town,
their impact could have changed the nation...
and I could indeed have changed the world.

I find myself not wanting to blog every time I try to write something...why? Because I'm so incredibly dissatisfied with my blog design! I need a graphic designer who will help me revamp it completely and help give me a new look. Don't get me wrong...I CAN design, it's just that I don't have the time to sit here and wonder and ponder precious hours that I do not have to come up with a design that I won't be happy with because I am my own worst critic.

Anyways! This past weekend was awesome. It was the weekend of the CiM (Christians In Motion) conference. Peter Scazzaro from New Life Fellowship and author of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality came to speak in our 2 day conference. It was amazing! He spoke about a lot of amazing things and practical things that we can do to mature emotionally in order to gain spiritual maturity. I'm not a huge fan of reading Christian books and this is one that I actually picked up and read which I highly recommend to people. So I suggest YOU read it too...order a copy at Books For Christ. Another amazing thing about this conference was that I got to test out my D700. AWESOME! I LOOOOVE my new baby....
