Well, it's been quit busy for me lately.
First of all, let me just update you on my job situation. It is fast moving, complex, and in some ways fun. almost everything is done via email and conference calls. Meetings are led by folks in other parts of the country or city, often times with a Power Point presentation or Web Base Excel Sheet. Lots of numbers, strategies and confusing acronyms.
One of the interesting things I have discover is that everything has been abbreviated to shorten the words that are used in a conversations. It also makes you sound smarter when you use this acronyms and no one else knows what you are talking about.
In fact I just tried this on a couple of people, and like I expected, it work really well. I used the acronym "HDL" in a text and the answer was: what is HDL? I knew I had them! In case you want to know it stands for "honey Do List". Fell free to use it.
This week I spent the week traveling to Orlando, Tampa, and FT. Myers before coming back on Thursday night. I was glad to be back home.
On another note, my son Igor and grandson Eman will be here on Tuesday. They are moving down and will make S. Florida their home. It's a long story, one that I'm not prepare to discuss at this point. I have lots of feelings and thoughts about this. I will share once I have been able to prayerfully take them through that process. For now, I would ask you to pray for them and us as we make the necessary adjustment. We are all ready and excited to have them here!
Lastly, here's where I am on the church thing. It's been a hard adjustment thus far. Frankly I thought it would be easier than it has been, but it hasn't. I know I'm a called man of God and that He is not done with me yet. I'm trying to make the transition the best I know how for others and myself. In my journal the other day I just wrote for God to help me to trust him every step along the way. He is doing that. I'm comforted! I look forward to the future and God leads.
Next week I travel to Minneapolis, MN for a 3 day sales meeting. I get to present in front of all the other VPs and Senior Staff. I look forward to the challenge and opportunity.
Question: How do you handle change? Do you resist or welcome it? Drop me a note.
Thanks for reading. Many blessings to you all out their.

Its great to read (hear) from you Igor! You are definitely missed! In reference to the question about change, its a really hard subject. One thing that I have learned in my young, adult life, that its easy to become self-centered and only worry how its affecting me. But we have to remember that change affects everybody. So what I've done when I know that change is evident, is to start focusing on everybody else and how they feel. Listening and loving (unconditionally) is the lubricant that makes change an easier process. Hope to see you soon dude!

I miss you guys as well. Thanks for taking the time to write to me. Regarding change, it is not easy but necessary if we are to continue to grow. For sure, it is one way to really put feet to your faith.
Danny, I like your observation of thinking about how the change affects others; it always does.
blessings,
Igor

LOVE your Voki picture. Miss you, bro, but glad God's called you on to His next chapter. Hope to make your blog list someday here. Best to you!
Hey Buddy!
Just catching up with you and thought about your blog... Change is something I have learned to embrace and continues to let me know that God is in charge. Life in the ATL has been good, trying, and scary at best. We love and miss you guys!
Call me when in the evening when you get a minute.
