Old Times


Today, an old friend preached at church. It was good to see Teddy and I realized how much I miss him. He talked a lot about old times and his "growing up" in the Belpre church. He had pictures and one was of bible bowl team that had Lisa, Karen and Amanda all in it. He told of how this group would come to their home for practice and move everything around and eat everything they had. Surely it wasn't my children:) Teddy is doing a lot for unity in the Mid Ohio Valley. Teddy has always been a special person to me. When I had nothing we brought me Christmas gifts. He would call and see if Brian had money to go to church camp and many other things. We had different opinions on a lot of things but I never doubted Teddy's love for me and my family or to God. It was good seeing him and Cheryl again.
Our Monday night group is difficult. I am having a hard time answering all the questions posed by the book. Tomorrow we will discuss "Dreamsicles" - our frozen dreams and "Kick Start" - acting on our dreams. At one point I thought I knew exactly what I was supposed to do with my life. Now I am no longer certain. What is my dream? not sure. The only answer that I know for sure is that I am here to help hurting people. when you can help wounded people heal they can then connect with God and move on. I know I need to make better use of my gift and resources and I pray that this will become more clear to me. I am posting a pic of my children and my Mom, of whom I am so extraordinarily proud.
