  Calling I am so glad there are people like the people from Extreme Makeover shows. What the do for those people is absolutely incredible. I don't care how stupid it sounds, but I basically just cried for an hour while watching it. It's just.... there are people out there that have such deep, heavy stories of trial. Who I am to ever complain about anything when there are people out there who dream of the life I lead. There is nothing this world holds that can fulfill. It's all about people. I'm not wording all this very craftily or AMAZINGLY. I really don't care, though. Just watch one of those episodes and you'll know of the emotions I'm talking about.

I'm not going to spend my life in a cubicle. I'm not going to spend my life not caring. I'm not going to spend my life not believing. The day is always worth living when you're serving others. I want to do absolutely nothing else with my life. There is no trial that can overcome what I have in Christ, my family, my friends.

So life, bring it on, because you're dealing with a true-blooded, strong optimist. It'll take a lot more than petty problems to get me down.

A man with purpose and a calling,

Jeff
