My passions are so easily swayed.
I love so many things, as weird as that sounds.
I love guitar, I love bass guitar, I love piano, and lots of other instruments that I don't really play.
I love pencil sketching, it's my favorite type of art even though I'm terrible at it.
I love philosophy and theology and psychology and how they interrelate.
I love sports! I just never play as much as I want to. Volleyball, tennis, frisbee, and baseball are my favorites, not in that order.
I love big complicated math problems because when you solve them, it's just so satisfying.
I love dancing of all kinds, except the one where you hump the air, and I'm not so good at them, except the one where you hump the air, cuz that's easy.
I love building things, and arts and crafts projects.
I love writing stories and letters to friends.
I love foreign languages.
And no, as your 3rd grade Sunday school teacher will tell you, this isn't romantic love or agape love or Jesus and me love, it's "like," but I think it's passionate. I pursue these things.
I've just noticed a lot lately that whenever I see someone doing something that takes practice and is fun to do when you're good at it, I want to do it and get good at it.
Tonight it was the comical performing, I want to make something cool like that. A couple of weeks ago I had all these aspirations of amazing halloween costumes.
I just think there are so many cool things to do and I have the problem of trying to run in all the directions at once and I accomplish very little. But, at the same time, I do accomplish things, because while I'm excited about learning something, it's pretty much the only thing I think about, and I practice for hours.
I don't want to tie myself down and say I'm a guitar person or a tennis person, because I want to dabble in everything. I do admire those who find their one huge passion and get incredibly good at it. I just happen to be incredibly above average at a lot of things instead.
I enjoy it.
Don't get me wrong though, there are a few things which I never get distracted from.

So, this is the blog of Brett. I used to write on my Myspace and I still use my Facebook all the time to tell people what's going on in my life, but I suppose true blogging isn't about what's happening in your life, it's about your reaction to it and what it inspires you to think. Not to say that this is my journal. It's where I drop my brain off at the end of the day.

This is such a renaissance attitude. You want to be an expert in many fields, I really admire that. I think that in a world full of specialists sometimes it's really awesome to find people who just want to be great at everything. Honestly, having such a diversity of interests will help to make you a better youth pastor. You'll have a lot of ways to interact and relate with the kids.
I'm wondering what you meant by your last statement though. Feel free to clue me in. :)
You need a sweet hat like mine...
