It was recently pointed out to me that my driver's license had expired...two months earlier I might add. As I discussed this with some friends they asked if I had recieved my renewal notice in the mail. Sheepishly I answered, "Well, the DMV has no idea where I live."
But, let me explain...you see I have lived a nomadic life the past few years. I was homeless, sort of, once I left my job in L.A., if it wasn't for the generosity of my parents, I truly would have been homeless. So that was only to be a temporary situation which lasted about a year. Then I moved south to Oceanside to serve as a temporary pastor. I was there for just 11 months. Once that was over it was back to being "homeless" and staying with the parents!
So, all during this time it was really not on my mind to update my information with the Department of Motor Vehicles, after all my living situations were "just temporary." So you can understand where I am coming from in all of this...why bother changing it if I will just have to turn around and change it again later!
But, this last August I found my spot...a great new church to call home. It is filled with fantastic people I work alongside. And I have found a great little place to "hang my hat." I am once again employed and paying rent! I am happy to say that my nomadic days of moving around are behind me. Afterall I have a new drivers liscense with my current address...nomad no more!
