Scott, swim lessons, and work

I woke up to meet Scott Alexander at Starbucks to get his perspective on EmCare as I decide on long term goals. I came home to pick up Ruth for swim lessons. I am looking forward to taking her swimming when there isn't a pool full of kids and moms. I came home and napped before going to work instead of Amy since she had some contractions yesterday and last night. I had not done an RME shift in awhile so it was a nice change of pace. My concern now is that I am eating too much fast food. I had McDonalds on the way to work and Popeyes on the way home. I had Eric bring me McDonalds on Saturday and Sunday night when he came into work. Yes, that's three meals from the golden arches this week so I have reached my limit for the month.

2 Corinthians 9:6 "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously."

Funny how "What you reap is what you sow" makes me think of a line from Rage Against the Machine when I read this passage. I have come a long way. From stressing about my six weeks grades in fourth grade (where I learned to compute the average of my grades in order know what I needed to make on the final test) until college, working hard in pre-med classes, MCAT, med school, USMLE, and written/oral boards, I now have less concrete goals to reach. Being structured like this for the majority of my life, I had found it hard to decide what to sow from a worldly perspective. Now I am looking at more opportunities for career advancement again as the process never seems to stop. From a Christian perspective, I have lots to sow. I need to get more involved with church and small group. I will pray for God to lay on my heart a desire to give more to the church and to become more active.

I was reminiscing at my original "blog" at 1:09pm on Thurs, 1/17/02 at http://www.geocities.com/andykahn/trophic_number_1.html and found this quote: "My family is currently only comprised of me and Amy, but in the not too distant future, I will be a father, and the family will be larger. Time will fly by once again, and I will remember how I was once just a med student." The family is about to be much larger and time has flown by. I am sure time will continue to fly by as our children are older. It is exciting to see where we are now and where we will be in the future.
