First of all, welcome again to all of you who are stopping in once in a while. When I compared the traffic of this one and most every other site I publish, this one appears to be now the second most visited site of all of our sites. This my personal online journal, unlike some of the others which are topically oriented. That's why in my one-liner I advertise this site by the simple "meet me there" line. Have you ever thought of the New Testament epistles...from what I can gather, they can easily fit into a modern blog format with several subsections such as theology, real life, worldview and so on. Oh, and I think Paul would have had a "personal" section there too, where he would share his thoughts, feelings, etc. That's how we know so much about the man, after all. He was indeed a great communicator. Long before Ronald Reagan was called that.
Recently, with my upcoming trip to Europe, I've been working on the average of 10 hours a day. Yesterday I did 12. It has been quite a challenge to organize this. The end result: 13 flights in 14 days. 5 nations, 7 hotel hotel nights. Thankfully, I'll spend 5 of those 14 days in Sofia in what used to be my own bed. Now being one of the two "own beds" I have. One in Minnesota and one in Sofia. Throughout the trip I'll be communicating through the gohbn.com newsletter for the general audience and the other mailing lists for internal HBN communication.
I have this quote from Steven Spielberg on the wall by my desk:

I have this quote from Steven Spielberg on the wall by my desk:
"I don't dream at night, I dream all day. I dream for living."
I don't know if all of us can actually afford to dream for living. But Mozart wrote operas for living and yet it didn't stop him from dreaming and being great.
Spielberg's saying has a special significance for me. I can totally relate to this kind of thinking. I'm horrified by the idea of trying to serve God without dreaming. In fact I'm horrified of the idea of trying to live life without dreaming.
What kind of life would that be?
