lessons from turducken...

Ok, first, what (not who) is "turducken?"

Well, as the name implies, it is a chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey and then cooked.

So, what brilliant individual came up with this, I have no idea. But I was thinking today that I'd like a truducken of my own. See, there are three things that I would really like to see all stuffed together into this life I live.

First I'd like to start with the outer shell (the turkey) with a job in vocational ministry that provides an adequate and stable income. I'd then like to stuff this job with moving my family into the fan (the duck). Finally, inside all of this I'd like to stuff finishing my graduate studies (the chicken).

Now, each of these things might be fine on their own (much like turkey, duck, and chicken) but, much like the inventor of the turducken, I get a feeling that having all three stuffed together might be even better.

When I look at my life right now, I get the feeling that my turducken might be impossible. But, then again, I am sure that the truducken inventor might have had similar feelings. I'm also sure he had some doubters on the outside.

So, what to do? I don't know... but I am getting hungry.
