Open windows...

There's a small wooden plaque that sits on my desk. A painting of a window with the sun shining through. Painted underneath are the words, "God never closes a door without opening a window."

Last week I resigned from a job I had originally assumed I would be at for a far greater length of time. One of my final obligations was to write a short editorial on our Little-Big Adventure--the adult/child adventure race--for a local sporting magazine. The editor enjoyed the article and when he read my bio he contacted me about writing another piece on a separate topic. And just like that...a window is thrown wide open.

"If a door is shut, attempts should be made to open it; if it is ajar, it should be pushed until it is wide open. In neither case should the door be blown up at the expense of those inside." --Julius Kambarage Nyerere
