Lost the pencil...

OK, so this is late... I wrote this last Thursday, but am posting it this Sunday night... sorry!

A couple of points, quick, before I get into the rest of the blog...
Point 1: Washington is beautiful. The trip here from Idaho was a patient ride with a changing landscape, but when we hit Mt. Ranier... Wow. We moved in color from brown to khaki and olive where we finally landed in a rich green.
Point 2: I am getting shaggy. I wanted to explain the situation as the pictures are posted that I have 2 "deals" going. Deal 1: I told my younger brother that I would not cut my hair until I see him next. Deal 2: I made a deal with Stephanie that involves me not shaving... I will let her explain her end of the deal.

Have you ever "lost" the pencil behind your ear? This week I have felt a little disconnected from the service work we have been doing. It has been a little wierd and I was not sure why but I finally found that "pencil behing my ear." I have been looking for the connection to the work we have been doing and have found that the connection is not there because I have not been processing. For those that don't know, we here on the road have kept extensive journals all along the way. This week I have not written in my journal once. I had an awakening today and re-discovered the importance of processing and I am happy to have finally discovered what has been bothering me this week. I found the pencil behind my ear.

That's all I know for now... I am going hiking this weekend, so say your prayers for me.
