Where the road leads next

For my regular readers, or reader as it may be. :)

You may have noticed that every so often Davie gets all, you know "in his head" on a post or two.

I feel an explanation is in order.

I am a very complicated dude. For one, I am predominantly "right brained". Basically, I think like a girl. I look like a man, but I sing like a girl, look at the world like a girl, have emotions like a girl, and generally obsess and worry like a girl.

I know - I am 6 foot 2, 250 pounds, built like a middle linebacker in the NFL and think the sky is pretty. I play all sports well, can rebuild cars and put up walls, need to shave twice a day, good looking, coordinated and athletic, and feel bad if I kill a bug.

If that wasn't enough, I am a First Tenor. An actual can hit a high C full voice and live up there tenor. I sang alto in Jr. High and for fun I would sing soprano. Even to this day I tend to sing songs much too high for a guy that looks like me. I think it is funny now but I used to hate it.

And just to make all that more interesting, I am highly prophetic when it comes to spiritual things. I used to be able to hear people think. I am not making it up - it was awful. In High School I had few real friends, and would scare the hell out of any girl I dated because I was so intense. This behavior and insight meant my fist girlfriend was my wife.

To top it all off I had some traumatic events in my childhood that I am working through. Some of them I have come to terms with like the alcoholism in our family, others like physical abuse and emotional pain I am still trying to uncover.

So from time to time all this emotional stuff lines up and you will read some very different posts about church stuff and other things. These are mostly just me letting off steam about the condition of the world and the Church as I see it. I don't know why I feel the way I do about that stuff, it is just something God has added to the mix of me. There is a rich history of prophetic people being a touch crazy. The bottom line is prophetic people have this deep urge to express to people what we feel, and getting the message out can be a bit overwhelming for everyone.

So I blog.

And talk with my friends who get tired of hearing about what needs to change until I am proven wrong or things change. The frustrating thing is that some of the changes can be 2-3 years down the road. Thankfully, once I get it off my chest I am not like the spoiled 6 year old that wants ice cream in Wal-Mart. I am quick to point out the signs along the way however, which is just about as annoying.

No one likes a know-it-all but sometimes I just know. Sorry - deal with it.

So that is a little insight into Davie, and why the title of my blog is what it is. I am on a journey and most days it is a wonderful unexpected winding road. I may have rest stops along the way, a side road or two and even some back tracking, but life is so much better living it in the skin you are in.

The way I am made, what choice do I really have? I sing like an angel, I know too much to be normal, I can do too many things to just sit idle, I am too emotional and in touch with my creator not to care, and too stinking tall to just blend in.
