"Life is like an Onion...

...you peel off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep."

Last night my good friend at work really challenged me. He said that I am like my parents, creating my own subculture and building a bubble around myself.

I've got a real problem. I'm angry at God. I'm angry at Dad. Really I'm angry at everyone. I've been trying to sort out how I feel about God.

I have to head over to the airport, but basically I prayed to God this morning and asked for him to help me sort all this out and what came to mind was my friend's abbreviation of the quote above "Life is like an onion, It's got layers." I see that I have all these layers of pain, unforgiveness, sin, misstrust in my life that I need to start working on and peeling back. That the process will be incredibly painful, and honestly I have know idea how I am going to start, but that before I can start understanding life, the universe and everything, I need to start shedding those layers of pain.

So I asked that God would give me the strength to start this process and finish it.

I've got to run to the airport, but i wanted to write this first. San Diego, here I come!
