Man shake

I must premise this particular story by saying I was in a creative and divergent mood, and I was trying to come up with an ultimate man meal.
This happened months ago, but recently brought to my attention by my wife in a conversation we recently had.  We were talking about meat and beer.  I like both, but at the moment I can't touch the later due to school policy.  I told my wife, "wouldn't the ultimate man meal be meatballs and beer?"  She nodded and added a slight approval.  Then I took it to the next level.  "What if I combined the two in some way?"  She looked at me rather oddly and said, "what do you have in mind?"  "A man shake!"  She said, "excuse me," with a rather worried and surprised expression.  I said, "Yeah, why not blend the meatballs with the beer.  It saves on dishes, time, and it's a shake!"  There was a brief pause, and then she added, "That's disgusting, creative, but gross."  I have yet to try it, but I still think it's a good idea.  The ultimate man shake, meatballs blended with a good stout and of course watching some sporting event.  Any takers?

Transitions

Some things do change overnight.  My wife and I moved from California to Oregon,  and from San Francisco to Portland.  We are in the middle of looking for a local expression of the church, I have started at a new school and both of us are in new job scenarios that are, at the moment, temporary.  I feel like I'm in high school again!  Anyways, the point is that this life transition happened overnight.  However, the preparation and research took almost a year.  This isn't supposed to be profound, just real and ongoing.  I sense that many believers (by believers I mean followers of Christ) are almost always in a sense of transition from one thing to another.  This isn't necessarily about big moves and nasty situations.  I am thinking about a daily one.  Where believers are constantly being challenged to transition from "glory to glory ( 2 Cor. 3:18)."  Whether we feel settled, or just had a major life change this internal, underground (if you will) current of truth is always moving us closer and closer to God himself.
