It sneaked (snuck) up on me...
Well here it is heading to Texas tomorrow to see my oldest graduate from Air Force boot camp. That's not what snuck (sneaked) up on me.
I am surprised at how much I miss my girl. We've not been the closest people ever, but I really found myself missing her, granted I didn't write more than one letter to her, i hope she understands. I'm not a writer, I only ever wrote letters to one person and that was when I was in high school. I hope she understands.
I am also amazed at how excited I am to see the Putter (see his blog) he's going to be at graduation on Friday (hopefully) and then I'm headed to see him and Amy for a few days after I work in Houston. I haven't seen Putz in over a year, we talk when we can. Apparently I actually miss him, very weird for me.
So, now to totally change the subject... I've had this discussion with a pastor friend of mine a number of times. It runs along the lines of this post. When you read it you'll see, it's not the creating part. It's the idea that going to a church service could be more along the lines of a discussion instead of a "teaching". I learn better in an open discussion and I think there are lots of people that do as well. This is not to say that some folks shouldn't be in a standard teaching church, just that some others are better off in other situations AND some leaders are better off facilitating a discussion then spending their weeks becoming experts on a text, talking about it for a few minutes and then forgetting it. Know what I mean?
Anyway, that's about it for me for today. Hopefully I'll have some pictures of graduation coming up!
Peace, Love, Beer,
BS
