Pew! Pew! Pew!
I haven't written here since before I was married.
Krikey, krikey, krikey.
I don't even want to talk about it.
Jeepers, it's been way too long, but don't get me started.
Hello. Greetings.
I've been playing a lot of Knights & Dragons. It's an intriguing little game. Of course, it's not the best use of my time, but I don't think I've ever made the best use of my time with any regularity.
I like to think that, at specific and short intervals, I use my time 100% well, making up for all the time I used poorly.
Furthermore, as we all know, work divided by the change in time equals average power. Thus, if I do a normal amount of work in a shorter span of time, I am more powerful.
I just tried to explain this concept to my wife. She insisted that, sometimes, I take a lot longer to finish tasks that take normal people less time. . .
I don't think she understands physics.
Speaking of wives – sincerely now – wives are the best!
For those of you who would like to belabor me with unfounded complaints about marriage, I have a picture:
For the rest of you, wives are the best. I had this profound realization not too long ago: the real problem with marriage is that it uncovers our flaws. I hate my flaws. You should hate your flaws too, but don't feel justified in pretending that your marriage is your flaw.
Marriage uncovers flaws because we now have to deal with another human nearly all day every day.
Humans are messy.
That's about it: marriage uncovers brokenness.
Stop whining about your marriage and start falling, broken, at Jesus' feet.
Knights & Dragons: the game itself is pretty compelling. However, I've been spending most of my time documenting and charting the various armors you can craft and upgrade. As I'm writing about this, I remember the little adage: success isn't a destination; success is a journey. In this little world (the world of Knights & Dragons), I'm interested in being the best knight and whatnot, but my real desire, my deeper desire is to understand. I think I'm more interested in understanding than I am in excelling. I think this theme might show up in my desire to teach as well: I'm interested enough in accomplishing various things, but I'm especially compelled by helping others understand how to accomplish.
I'm not entirely sure; I only just slapped this theory together today, but I wanted to jot it down before it drifted away.
Especially when I'm playing Knights & Dragons (if you decide to play, add me: XBB-XCQ-BFF), I feel like I'm waiting for something. I don't know how else to express it. I feel like something awaits me. It's probably much more likely that there's something out there I should seek and obtain. I'm workin'; I'm tryin'. I've only just recently begun to break out of a long funk, as my mother often calls them: seasons during which I am inexplicably melancholy. This one was more poignant than its predecessors, however. It's been a long haul, but God is merciful and gracious.
I've been designing a board game with my good friend, Greg Stemler, too. I could say a lot about it, but I'm very tired from sleeping poorly and going to bed late, so I'll ramble about that sometime later.
For now, it's been a good day.
