My World

It has been a while since my last post. Life is just a tad busy! Currently I am in Detroit, MI doing rotations in orthopedic surgery at a couple of programs up here. I have not seen my wife or kiddos in the past 5 weeks and it bites! One more week and then it will be over I will be back in the bustling metropolis of Elkhorn, TN staring at the cows. Until then...

My world continues to be consumed with orthopedic surgery - doing orthopedic surgery, studying orthopedic surgery, interviewing orthopedic surgery programs, and then studying some more! All in all, my life is orthopedic surgery for the past few weeks and it is frustrating. Frustrating not because I miss my family like crazy or miss being away from home (I do to both) but because it seemingly consumes every waking thought. It almost seems as if it has become an idol - an idol that demands everything from me and seems to give me only a continuing thirst for more of it! I love what I am doing but I pray that my passion is for the kingdom of God and that this pursuit is of a dream planted within me by God and not the other way around.

Later...
