A Completely Different Place

Isn't it interesting how we often have plans and interests, only to end up in a completely different place? This very thing has happened to me since moving to Texas. . .

I am currently organizing art shows to be held the last Saturday of the month at our church. I have always loved art, but never thought I would become so involved in it. I'm having to get out and make contacts in order to recruit artists, which has lead me down even another path. . .

The first show I'm organizing (Aug 26) is a college-aged guy who does photography. He is also helping an ever-shrinking Methodist church with their youth program. Sean (if he has time) and I are soon to begin volunteering at his new Wednesday night youth art program, where community youth can come develop their artistic talents in a positive and encouraging environment. This is something I never would have guessed I'd be doing, but am so excited now that I am! I'm also excited that Sean is enthusiastic to be involved as well, and that it's something we can hopefully do together. . .

A completely different place than I ever could have imagined.
