Tearing the Shelter Down

I found out that one of my new favorites the David Crowder band will be plaing in Chicago, IL the day after I leave the city. That would have been a wonderful way to end my trip there. Luckily the band will be coming to tempe at the end of March, so I won't necessarily miss the show... So I'm a little upset with myself and my lack of patience at this moment. My self conviction seems to be getting stronger.

For no reason I am upset with my email provider, mail.com. They launched a new layout at the website and its much easier to use and navigate, but they have been trying a lot of diferent front pages. Why are we, as people, desperate for regularity? This email thing is so significant, but I was seemingly disappointed with it only 5 minutes ago? Why do we have an emotional longing to dig ourselves into a comfy little hole and never leave? Yet this is the way humanity begins, too. If a newborn infant had any premintions of the"bad" things he or she would encounter in her lifetime, would she still want to leave the womb? If given the choice, would she remain in the comfort and safety of her mother's body? Of course, remaining there would kill the child eventually, but fear of change is something that really tears a lot of people up. However, change isn't always a bad thing, and you shouldn't be afraid to get your feet wet or your hands dirty. This life isn't supposed to be easy. Your lifestyle isn't always going to be comfortable. What I'm saying, is be prepared to have your shelter torn down, becuase it will happen to you eventually, if it hasn't already. But believe this promise. When things seem to be at their worst, the best is only around the corner. Don't give up. And do not let stupid things like email providers make you fear change.
