School is out.

Another school year is down the drain. Each year seems to go by faster. It is kind of hard to believe that the students are finished, it doesn't even seem like the year should be over. Not that I am unhappy about that. The students I have absolutely no big problems with. I mean there are difficult situations to deal with, etc, but they are kids, so it is normal to expect dealing with poor decisions, young adolescent drama and the like. However, the adults are the ones that I am happy to see be done for the year. Especially the two that I can't hold accountable because the big chair won't allow me to. That should get interesting here in the next week. More on that later.

Here's the best finish of a school year I may have ever had-Leave about 3:30, pick up my brother in law and a few Sparks. Golf the bent bush. Little warm, but beautiful day. Great conversations about being a man and truly following God with my 'hey bra' brother in law, Spankawitz. Hands down, one of the most enjoyable afternoon/evenings I have had in a long long long time. And we have never taken the time to do that, just he and I. Sick pete and blahs and pastor said they might go, but it ended up being just us. That was wonderbar. Here is a picture of spankawitz and our final location. If the picture of the location doesn't mean anything to you, you're probably not from the creek. (Pronounced crick)

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

By far the most beautiful.

It has been a week since the death of my mother. A week ago right now, I was going on 14 minutes of sleep knowing that my mom had made her transition to heaven. That day brought many emotions for certain. A lot of sadness and grief knowing that she was gone from this world. Sadness in knowing that I would never again hear the sweet sound of my mother's voice calling my name from somewhere off in the distance. Knowing that my children would no longer run from here to there shouting "GRANDMA!" as I have so many times seen them do with such joy in their hearts. Knowing that I would never again on this earth see Hon and Hon holding each other. Kissing. Making each other laugh. This doesn't seem like a moment to speak about the beauty of life, yet I can only find myself focusing the last few days on just that - the beauty of life. I can say with some certainty that I did experience one (if not the) of the most beautiful things I have ever had the pleasure of expe
