Living Like We’re Not in Control

Char and I lived through the death of a dream lately. Something big didnt turn out the way we always thought it would.

Heres the crazy part. Its almost like we expected things to turn out the way wed hoped. We imagined the future, and then considered ourselves entitled to what wed dreamed.

We do this all the time. I catch myself thinking about what it will be like to write my next book, to move into our next building as a church, to pay off our mortgage, to retire, to grow old with my wife....
