For the last couple days it just seems that every time we turn around something else is going wrong. Then today I realize that I’m about $500 short of what I need to move and we’re suppose to be moving a week from today. Then tonight while boxing some things my wife notices water dripping from the ceiling in one of our daughter’s bedrooms.

Once we get moved to Panama City and get settled in I’m going to try and get on part time at one of the agencies down there just to keep my life interesting. ;)

A couple days ago I get an instant message from my wife about a website she had just found called LostCherry.com. When I got the URL I was wondering if it was something I should be looking at. :) My wife assured me that it was just a myspace alternative. After taking a spin through the site I’ve got to admit, I love it.

Okay, I admit it. I love analogies. I like hearing them and even more, I like coming up with them. Tonight, while at church, something the Pastor said sparked a new one. Are you ready for it? Here it is…
