Existential Crisis or Midlife Enlightenment?

 Goals:

1. Finish reading the Bible. As a Christian, I believe I need to read the whole Book, cover to cover. It was a goal to have accomplished by my 40th birthday (I'll be 42 in July). I have one chapter left of the OT...maybe I can finish this summer.

2. Hike more. Hike A LOT. My newest thought...hike a 14er on my birthday for the rest of my life. The difficulty is finding a hiking partner. I think Adrion is game...

3. Write more. Here. Be transparent. Who cares?

4. Read more.

5. Be me. No more striving. No more degrees. No more careful conversations. Just be me, a less-than-perfect human who loves God.

General Updates and Onward!
