I’ve had a really jammed pack past few weeks and have not even thought about blogging. I’ve been really encouraged and excited about things recently.
Here are a few ups and downs of the last few weeks:
- Fall in Roanoke. God can paint a gorgeous canvas.
- Going to Layman farm with all my girls. That place is beautiful.
- Not watching TV one night and just talking with my wife for 2 hours.
- Hearing crazy God stories in youth’ lives. (Thanks Allie!)
- Leading a comeback hail-mary winning drive on my 30th birthday! (in an adult football league)
- Throwing out my arm the next week. (is this what is means to get old?)
- Seeking Christ’s presence and His mission in people’s lives rather than focusing on distractions.
- Seeing youth ministries and leaders come together to seek Christ’s kingdom advance rather than seeking to build their own empires (great working with you Angela, Andy, Josh, and Jake).
- Feeling like I was going to punch my counselor (don’t tell him that), and then realizing he was probably right about me.
- Hearing Josh Dowdy give a club talk that included his hiding place in our neighborhood growing up.
- Getting to preach a sermon at a church in my neighborhood. Thanks Tom Oster.
- Norah not sleeping through the night. Norah crying through the night.
- Watching a highlight of my new favorite NFL player do this:
I’m not sure if I like the part where he ran over the guy or screamed like a wild animal better.
