Hey everyone I am back from working on the cruise ships!!! It blows me away that I was gone for five months from the Rockford area, but what blows me away even further is how little a place can change in such a period of time. I love this place, but at the same time I have the same frustrations with getting together with people, because it takes so long to meet up and I am not particularly fond of driving. Oh well. I hope to get back to updating my blog on a regular basis with random and sometimes insightful thoughts. I do hope to write a book someday, now encouraged by a couple of people. Please pray for me in the coming weeks as I will make some important decisions in regard to which path I will next follow. Sometimes I think about putting down roots, but then life often seems to become quite dull if you do something crazy like that! This is just me venting, when I read this later I am sure I will wonder what I was or was not thinking.
At this point though I am truly torn between taking the path of so many around me and pursuing a marriage relationship or accepting a vocation to the priesthood or religious life and settling here in the Rockford area. But I think that I would like to see more of the world before I would go and do this. In all my travels Latin America is still my favorite. I now plan to take a bike trip all the way through. If any of you who read are interested in accompanying me please let me know. I apologize to all of you with whom I have not always been in contact over the past few months, but I want you to know that I did have the adventure of my life on the cruise ship. Both my job and my travels taught me an amazing amount about myself and life in general.
I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers until a bit later. If you're in Rockford, give me a call!!!
Cheers!!!!
