How is it that time goes by so quickly? I remember when I was a kid, my mom and dad would talk about how quickly time goes by and I would sit and wonder, "what the heck! Time doesn't go by quickly, it has taken me ALL MY LIFE to get to be 12 years old!" But now . . . my perspective has changed.
Time does by quickly. And I realize that more just about every day. So . . . since my last post, here are a few things that have happened.
This is big news! Over Labor Day Weekend and after 29 plus years, Sondra and I said, "so long! to our waterbed." I can a bit of a slow adopter, but 29 years was enough. It was a good bed. She had sprung a leak or two over those years but that bed served us well. It must have weighed about 5 million pounds so I am sure there will be less stress on our floor joists. Our new bed arrived and we both seem to be sleeping pretty well. We are in the process of finding some new bedroom furniture too. Not my favorite pastime but pretty much a need at this point.
The first weekend in September, Shelbi and Mark came up from Georgia to visit. It was great to see them again. That same weekend, I participated in the Riverbluff Triathlon (Olympic distance) and it was big fun to have the whole family together. Some good friends were there to support me as well. I had a pretty good race on a hot day and took second in an older man's age group (or as I jokingly call it, first loser). Brought home a little hardware and get a free race pic! Big winner.
This past weekend, I headed to Nevada to train student ministry leaders in the Las Vegas area. I absolutely love the student leaders out there. They are hungry for encouragement, practical tips in leading students and have a great heart for Jesus, students and their families. I always come away from there encouraged. Caught an early afternoon flight, got out of Vegas before the Mayweather boxing match and made it home about 10p. On Sunday morning, I had the privilege of sharing the Word at Green Hill Church. It was good to see many friends and meet new ones who love Jesus and His Word.
Sondra, Morgan, Shelbi and Mark are all doing great. Sondra's new role at McGavock is taking a lot of time but she is doing a good job and is learning much. Morgan is really enjoying her new job as a school counselor/therapist and Mark and Shelbi are doing great. Working much and Mark's new role at WinShape is going really good. He is implementing some new processes and finding some great success. Shelbi is coming up on her 2 year anniversary as an employed nurse and seems to be excelling at what she loves and that is helping people. Wilson (Morgan's beau) is back in school full-time this semester taking some courses that will best prepare him to be accepted at Physician's Assistant program so we do not see him as much during the week, but we see him on the weekends.
Life moves quickly. We are just trying to be intentional about involving our lives in the things that really matter.
