Random Thoughts

Here I sit, legs crossed on a set of bleachers in the same high school gym I where I auditioned to be Drum Major in my High School band. Where I remember pep rallies, a few basketball games and one hated semester of Physical Education. Dylon graduates this year from High School. Still can't believe our baby is 18 and making applications to Universities. Also in this same memory pool is Coach Alcorn, a young man that graduated with Dexter, play basketball with him and yes, he is one of the assistant coaches. I know, I know - getting mushy on here tends to happen too often but I just must be in that season of life because every time I turn a corner it begins to happen.

Last week I got my "little." If you are familiar with Big Brothers Big Sisters - the term "little" is used by the "big" (me) to reference their little brother. His name is Joseph and by all outward signs is a great kid. I pray that our family can have a positive impact in this kids life over the next few years. I am really amazed at all of the need that is present in this dynamic in our little town.

Last night we had a discussion forum at church to discuss the Elders in our church. This is new territory for our church family when it comes to church polity and specifically its leadership. It's challenging for our diverse congregation which is generally VERY young (in its age demographic) to adapt to healthy comfort levels. We are a blessed family of faith with very little conflict over the years and though I am a little anxious over this new territory I am also encouraged.

Is this enough randomness for a post? At least it is a post. Blessings!
