contentment

I have to be at work in about 7 hours and I am writing at this ridiculous hour of the night because....

my heart and tummy are full (after a weekend which started with The Problem of Pain, by C.S. Lewis, discussing the idea of suffering, breaking fast with community, learning more about Indonesia and Islam, chatting with friends on the other side of the world, two Superbowl parties, and an hour-long episode of The Office!)

my mind is racing at a million miles an hour thinking of everything to do, and how little time I have left here (but soon I'll have to learn how to convert that to kilometers - and also account for the traffic in Jakarta...)

my body will likely be tired once I set foot on the Thomson Reuters "Kinesis" logo rug immediately after the two sets of double glass doors of 880 Technology Drive, Suite B

but "while outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."

And if this is all confusing to you just know that I have learned how to be content with my circumstances, and am trying to learn how to be content in all circumstances - whatever may come. (And if this is confusing, it's probably because I have neglected to post on recent significant developments in my life, which I guess means subsequent posts to come!)
