One thing Alison will affirm about my mind is that it is always making links.
Analogies may be a better word. But links, like the Internet.
I'm always relating one thing to another.
I went to private school for my entire education (minus High school) and of those all but one was christian (Tulane is not). What that means, other than my parents wanted me raised in that environment, is that I have an arsenal of stories and parables that roam around my brain.
So naturally I link my life to stories there-within.
Here are a few of the stories I've linked to Alison's health issues and our most pressing life-situation:

But I think the reason I keep thinking about it is because of Jonah's lesson. To change maybe. To follow instructions.

Messages in the bible are obvious, but when you play life at full speed sometimes the lessons we're supposed to be reading are as subtle as the changes in the weather, so I'm standing in the yard with my barometer-helmet on, and I'm ready for the needle to point me in a new direction.
