Man, I really learned something today. We had access to a party barge and an awesome jet ski. I pulled the tube with the party barge for a while as a friend drove his two sons on the jet ski. They looked like they were really having a great time. I hope so. I got my turn on the jet ski, taking Holley for a few trips back and forth across the lake. Later on, Kristy and I dragged Drew on for a quick ride. I dropped them off at the boat and took off by myself. I opened the thing up across the lake, veering into coves to check it out. I went around in circles and wove back and forth, and then realized that I was jut plain bored. What? On a jet ski on a beautiful day on a great lake! Why am I bored?
The only thing I can think of is this: I can’t handle journeys that are going nowhere and moments that aren’t necessarily spent accomplishing anything. And yet, I want too. I want to enjoy the journey and I want to enjoy moments of simply “being”. I don’t know where this thought will lead, but it is an interesting thing to learn on a jet ski.

We need to learn to relax and enjoy God’s beauty! Take it from someone that needs to practice what she preaches!
Bro! What a terrible time to learn this! I dont see how the journey was going nowhere. You were going to the coves and checking them out and you were going around the lake to parts you hadnt been to yet, unless you had been to them in the boat. I geuss this is what you are talking about. I tend to see myself as “going somewhere” even when many others would say Im “going nowhere”. I love me some Allen Coker.
