A New Revelation

So I've discovered this notion that I would like to share with all of you.. For some time I have been under the impression that I was the father of not one but 21 children. "Really", you say to yourself, "really...how is that possible?" Have you and your wife been conceiving and miraculously birthing numerous babies or have you adopted children with anyone knowing?" NO on all accounts. The root of this dynamic dad-Dom that I find myself in stems from my involvement at our church. For the past three or so months I have been volunteering as the worship director/coordinator for the youth program at Mountain Park. Needless to say things have begun to get a bit difficult (without going into too much detail). I have been mulling this situation over and over in my head, talking with Beth about what has been going on and I think finally it hit me the other day....I am not these kids parents. As much as I enjoy playing music with them, worshiping with them, mentoring them, rooting for them, encouraging them....I am not their parent! I am an adult leader who is volunteering his time to work on this thing we call worship. They don't consider me anything more than this so why should I ? Grasping this was relieving. I know that this will be a continuous struggle as I am a new dad still getting his daddy legs about him. But, it will be a target I can aim at when my proverbial ship is lost at sea.

"It's all happening.."

Ahh "Almost Famous" how I love thee. Anyway, good news on the home front... the Wolff"s have hot water!! You guessed it that means showers, laundry the whole shebang. What's next you ask? Well that's a mighty good question. Who knows it. The yard got a much needed tending to this past weekend courtesy of Chris ( our outside Christmas lights were even taken down). Pretty amazing. Oh and I guess furniture would be nice. Never fear...we order some sweet "sack chairs" to help fill out the living room. Now I know what you're thinking...bean bag chairs GROSS! Ha! You are in luck these bad boys are nothing like bean bag chairs (except for the outrageously huge part). The key is that they are filled with furniture foam instead of beans! Genius!! Other than these house updates we have been doing a surprising amount of traveling (which has lead to many different kinds of exhaustion). It will be nice to lay low for a while and enjoy the homestead. And yes pictures, pictures, pictures. Been taking lots of those but have yet to post any...figure that one out. Well I'm all out of information. More to come later. Peace.
