Crossroads

OK...
Nearly one year since I wrote on this crazy blog.  I am terrible at it.  Sometimes I truly know that trying to do this is so out of my nature so that is why I am here today.  To be out of my nature.  
We are in a series called Crossroads at Eastlake.  It is really good.  Lots of cool stories of cool people trying to make God a true source of life.  Neat.  I just got done looking at my buddies Facebook page.   He and I spent every moment of our lives together for nearly 12 years and then I went to college.  He was still in Highschool.  Then he went overseas with a band, I stayed here.  Things have changed so much.  The guy I used to sit and sing with, play music with is now a member of a band that tours the world and I am a married man with 2 beautiful boys.  You know what is funny is that both of us would look at each others lives and for a split second envy the others life.  At the same time he would probably never give up his life for mine and I would never give up mine for his.  Fame, music, travel, money, all sound nice to me and yet I could never dream of being out from where I am though the trappings of those things are at times intoxicating.  How do you know what roads lead to where and how do you know what is Gods Will?   If I am following God, is every decision I make, if it is not destructive, in His will?  It is just humbling and interesting to look at two people so tied together in their history so far apart in who they are now.  Wild.  I will try to be more "available" to write.  If for no other reason than as a legacy piece for my boys one day.
