My Wife is Awesome

Aug 21, 2008 Print This Post

This week I have been all by my lonesome. My wife and kids are in Chicago visiting family until Saturdayish.

While I have gotten a lot done, I realize how much I miss them while they are gone, especially Grace. Last night we talked on the phone for a long time and I realized what I miss the most is just talking every day about all the “stuff” going on in our lives.

It seems silly that conversations about what stores she shopped in, how I captured 30 boxelder bugs, the construction she is facing in Chicago, etc etc are so important, but they are.

These little things add up to a significant part of our lives.

(Oh, sorry to Grace for posting the picture above. I just think it perfectly describes us in so many ways.)

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
