so i haven't been blogging in a while...partly 'cuz i've been a little busy, and partly 'cuz there hasn't been much to write. things have been pretty steady...and though things have been happening, nothing dramatic...and i've been kinda lazy i guess.

so yeah, things have been pretty good. work hasn't been great, but what else is new? otherwise, let's see...what's been going on?

i'm finally trying to sell maggie and get a new car...my mechanic is trying to get a good price on it for me, so it's at his shop, which is good 'cuz if it were at home and i were driving it, i'd probably be tempted to keep it again. i really can't afford too much, so i'm thinking about a civic or corolla - maybe an accord or camry, but that's getting a little pricier. we'll see...

i've also really been enjoying mosaic life group. one of the non-believers in our group is really close to making a commitment to Christ. it's been so amazing to see how God has been changing her heart and opening her eyes...she's understanding things that take most believers years to grasp and confront. it's been so great witnessing His work in her life - truly changing a heart of stone into a heart of flesh.

yesterday night, one of our members shared his testimony. he's had a pretty crazy life...left the house when he was 14, lotsa partying (drinking and drugs), moved around a lot, got into some bad situations...but at one point, God just revealed Himself to him in an awesome, unavoidable way. just a personal revelation, but life-changing. one thing i know of him is that he's got a lot of wisdom. he's a bit older, and with all that he's experienced, he's got this great take on life.

i think that's one of the reasons why i like mosaic so much. since getting more involved, i've just encountered so many different people - many of them way outside my normal scope of relationships. and they're just so incredibly open and honest about themselves...

at the same time, because it's such a new and different crowd, i really appreciate old friends, too. it's so nice to hang out with people who have known me for a long time - who knew who i was before, and have shared the last years with me...there's a deeper tone to the friendship.
