The More Things Change

As I write this I am watching A View to a Kill with Paul and Dave.
The intro music is awesomely '80s bad.


For the last month I've been working days at Baker.
It has been really nice and has allowed me to spend more time with my financee and work on things I might not have been able to otherwise.

At the same time, I don't feel as if I've been as productive as I would have liked to have been.
I assume this is not a problem exclusive to myself.
It gets me down sometimes because I feel as if even though I know I'm not doing all that I can, I still feel like I'm doing quite a bit, and I'm still not seeing the results I'd like to.

But you more forward.
One has to.
Even if it's only half-a-step at a time.
We'll get there.
By the grace of God.

Circus Freaks, Like Me

Caleb, Son of None
by Kersten Hamilton.


Thrown out with the trash as a baby, Caleb has lived most of his life feeling like someone’s unwanted left-overs. Things don’t get any better when he’s “adopted” by Mr. Groeger, who treats Caleb worse than hired help. Over-worked and beaten, Caleb has begun to accept this miserable life when he meets an old circus clown who tells Caleb that he wasn’t created to live this way.

Kids (and adults) who enjoyed the dynamic characters of The Series of Unfortunate Events, will also enjoy the motley crew that Kersten Hamilton has assembled in Caleb, Son of None. With Caleb Pascal & the Peculiar People, Hamilton has created a series that young and old will love to read, featuring dramatic plots, compelling characters, and solid faith lessons. The author also places a verse or two of scripture at the beginning of each chapter; children and parents can have fun figuring out how each verse relates to the chapter it precedes. In conclusion, Read This Book! You might just have fun and maybe learn more about God’s grace too.
