I thought about the things i fear today and amongst them is the ending of “Tarzan, Lord of Greystoke”. I hope I got the title right… it’s been a long time since I’ve read it. Anyone who’s read the book will remember the ending and for those who haven’t read it, well I won’t spoil it.
The ending of the book… I remember thinking how afraid I was that I would be just like Tarzan…(I can hear the chuckles and see the funny faces you are making) but if you read the book or have read it, you’ll know I’m not talking about the antics of an half-ape/half-man swinging through the jungle on vines with just a leopard loin cloth to cover his birthday suit.
It’s just that… I am such a fool… perhaps naive is the better descriptor, when it comes to certain things in life… and even as I live through those moments and I realize what I’m doing, as I’m doing them… I still do it…
Hmmmm… sort of vague huh? Okay, I’ll share something concrete. The last 48 hours has been incredible. I am officially a “real estate agent”. I know what some of you are thinking… “WHAT?!?!?” I’m sure some are wondering, “What about seminary” and all those things I talked about. I’m still answering THE CALL…I’m not that foolish… ^___^ but some things can’t be explained in words… I like to refer to these ineffable moments as a “God thing”… no explanation really… just know that I need to do this… it’s a bit humbling to find myself where I am…but that’s exactly the point. What a mixed up individual I must appear to be… ha ha ha… it’s “good” fun.
