Day 19 - The Confession

Today, the surprise for all of Abilene was rain. Light, steady, and continual - nice change. The clouds were of the low and billowy variety. The temperature, moderate. Tomorrow promises to be a bit sunnier.

Wow. I just did the weather report. I've become my dad...

...and now the confession. I didn't know what today's "surprise" would be until this moment. Without trying, I'm becoming more and more like my dad. I hear it in my choice of words. I notice it when I make "waking up in the morning" noises. And Krista is quick to point out when I'm "doing dad" through my mannerisms. All of this is happening without any conscious effort on my part. It just is.

Isn't this what the heavenly father wants from me? To effortlessly become more like him with each passing year? Why do I make difficult that which should be natural?

Now, back to the weather channel...
