Well yesterday was my last day of work. I have worked at UMC for about three and a half years now. It was strange leaving that part of my life, and saying goodbyes to people, some of whom I probably will never see again. I guess the reality of what I’m setting out to do is starting to sink in. A year ago at this time I would not have even contemplated quitting, but here I am. It’s funny how God can change a person’s priorities and desires. Part of me is a little anxious about the trip, but I know that this is what I’m supposed to do so I’m cool with that. I don’t know what God has planned for me after the Race, but I do know that this is the next step, so I’m taking it.

      Just a little side disclaimer. I’ve thrown out the Idea of trying to make these blogs a literary masterpiece. I don’t want this blog to be just about were we are or what we happen to be doing. My intent is to give you a look at my thoughts and feelings about what I’m experiencing. Now I don’t think like Shakespeare so if some of my blogs start to ramble, well, welcome to my mind.          MT
