My son wrote me about a wonderful young woman in Kenya who wants him to join her there.
I wrote:
Why not go? It's your life . . . but it seems to me that you've chosen an unencumbered life so far for some purpose.
He wrote back:
Yeah, why not right? But how does one just drop everything and go? How can one make changes without knowing the proper outcome?
My answer (the best parental advice a skewed-up guy like me can muster):
Nobody knows the proper outcome except God and He whispers. How does one just drop everything and go? Throw everything that slows you down into the street, take a deep breath, strap yourself in and scream "YEEEEEE HAAAAAAAA!"
