I KNOW...RANDOM!!

Karen is back and life is trending back toward normal (which is anything but). I had a blast with the kids and there were no major catastrophies. So, what now?

Well, there's work and that demands some attention. Funny though, recently one of the partner's wives asked him how it is that "Jonathan has time to blog?" Well, clearly she has never read my blog (I mean how long can it possibly take ;-)).

Now I don't plan to blog about work much, but what I will say is this. I am genuinely blessed to have, not just a job, but a really cool job. One where I get to work (doing stuff that I believe in) with some of my best friends in the world and other great people I've met along the way. As those of you who have known me can attest, this hasn't always been the case with me. I have been in some situations where I experienced some real challenges. And, chances are, the three or four of you who read this post may have similar struggles. But look, if there is one thing I have learned, God is not into wasting his resources. I am amazed at how He has redeemed the time and effort I put forth in my past experiences and uses them to benefit me (and more importantly those around me) today.

I'm fortunate...blessed. And, I certainly realize that not everyone out there is experiencing what I am. At least not right now. But what I do know is that you are "EXPERIENCING" something. So, whether it's work, school, home, finances, relationships or whatever, we have to take what the experience gives us and be ready to put it to use later.

I toldya'!!! RAN...DOM!!

Ain't No Sunshine...

You're right! It has been a long time since I posted last. And, well, I hope you didn't come in here today with high hopes. Why? Because I am a bit preoccupied and working in a very short time frame. See, I am gaining a deeper understanding of, and appreciation for, the value of a Wife/Mommy.

My wife is on an overdue, well-deserved, break from me and the kids. I am going to try to avoid all of the easy dramatizations that I could use to describe this process...Oh wait...WILL!!.......
