Times they are a changin

School, work, life, these are some words that describe things that are subject to change. You can fail or graduate from school. Work comes and goes. You can choose to die and not live every day.

Change is something that many people fear, yet a the earth would not continue to prosper if it stayed in the same spot for a nanosecond. We are creatures of change, no one reading this did not make the change from not being able to read, to learning how to read. Your hard work changed your life.

My life is changing, internship, graduation, fatherhood. These are words that I fear, yet welcome. Like a salmon swimming upstream, my course is one that I cannot waver from. One thing that the Salmon doesn't know is that the course that he is really headed leads to death, so it is with my life. However, the death that I must die is not physical, rather; what is left of the old Brandon has to die, so that my family can experience the love that it deserves.

God I pray that I may die so that I can live for you, to live is Christ, to die is gain. I want to gain. I want more of you. I want life and life to the full.
