Lovables and Liables

 
I gave gangsta names to everyone.
So, this is No-No, Taytay, and Mack-Dawg working hard.
Oh my, the silliness never ceases with me.
I wish that Taylor and Nolan were around to tell me stories as a kids.  They're actors and voice masters so they really know how to animate characters in a story.
Sisters Rian and Christian walking down the street with us to the community center pool.  I know, they're so cute, right?
The arts team on our very first day together- feels like forever ago...

My relationships with people are what give me joy most days.  I prefer deep relationships with people that major heavily on harmony, laughter and narrative.  The most satisfying moments of my work and of my life otherwise, are when I get to lead and walk alongside people as they experience healing in the Lord's presence.  I realize more and more that watching people be transformed is one of the things that gives me the most joy.  However, I also realize that these deep relationships and this costly investment in the lives of people is a large liability for my own life the more that I pour out.  So, what does this all mean for my life and for my future?  I have no idea.  Whatevs.  Point is, people are cool.  Watching them be transformed is even cooler.
