I am at my in-laws to minister in their church this weekend. My father-in-law is still recovering from pretty serious surgery a little over a month ago. He is hardly able to get to service let alone minister.

On a bummer note; I am missing Cassidy's christmas presentation at church this weekend. I am sure she will do a great job - we are having someone videotape the event so I can view it later. Cassidy is also singing at the adult Christmas program next week. It's like she is the hardest working gal in show business. The funny thing is she is doing things now that I would have never have dreamed of doing when I was her age. I am very proud of her.

I was rummaging through my garage the other day when I came across a box of computer programming material from college: C++ and Visual Basic. In that nearly forgotten box of text books and programming projects was nearly one year of my life. As I thumbed through the pages it dawned on me that no matter how much technology mastery I attain - I will never learn as much as I want to. There will always be another set of skills that I want to learn.

I have spent this past year engrossed in Adobe CS and CS2 - I am proficient to the point that I would feel absolutely confident on putting the skills on my resume (if needed). As usual, not wanting to rest on what I have learned I am now immersed in trying to figure out CSS in web page design. I am sure once I get a handle on that I will want to get more proficient in digital illustration.

My point is this; it is always something. There will always be something else to learn, something else to figure out, another challenge to conquer.

The tragedy of some people's lives is they refuse to be challenged (on any level). They refuse to expose themselves to anything that would cause them to think, to grow, to learn. What a shame.
