no internet = no updates

We've had no internet at home for what seems like a month! So no internet = no updates. I'm actually staying late at work to write this little tid-bit.

I love Donald Miller! Read his blog - it's in my blog list. The most recent one about riding across America really just slapped me upside my head. He says, "I think the inability to think rationally begins when we believe we know more than we are actually capable of knowing, and do not think objectively because our identities are tied to our ideas." How true is that! How often to we get upset when people don't agree with us. I think it's less about having to be right as much our ideas usually compile our identity so when people disagree we take it as a personal attack. I try
not to do this too often but i know i have more than i like to admit. How great would it be to live in a world where you are not known by a profession or your list of ideas, but are simply known for you - all the quirky things that make you you.

I have nothing profound of my own to write - only that we are alive and will begin to blog again once we have internet at home.
