• I rather like not being in control.
  
  
  
  Many times I've enjoyed sitting
  back and letting the world fly while just tumbling along with life
  instead of trying to "right the ship" or make things go my way. No
  small chance that this is why I'm never stressed....
  
  
  
  Certainly there are many facets that I DO have control over, especially at work with a lot to oversee there. At the same time, it's great to be a part of something bigger than me.

  Being a Christian carries
  this as one of the most appealing aspects. Planet Nick is too small,
  too limited, too backwards, too ME to be worth spending my time on!
  It's better to realize that God has this figured out already and that
  following God is the better route by far than trying to blaze some
  crazy trail where no one else will follow.
  
  
  
  My job is a microcosm of this
  effect. No longer can I follow where every crew is every day. No longer
  do I know where everything is or how it all works. At this point, I'm
  forced to focus on my part of the business and to do that well.

  This is such a great pedagogical moment in my life
  to learn to let go and let live. Mmmm, pedagogical.
