Turkey Bowl...
A long lived ACOC tradition.
I'm really tired and won't spend time typing. I just thought I write a little thought or too... mainly to keep the blog active.
I just need to say that I love my church family. Events today just reinforced that. I love the families that put Christ as their priority. I love the families that are active together and would rather spend time as a church community rather than... I don't know, the lions club. Does that still exist anyway?
Today, the kids took on the adults in a great game of football. Pretty sure we annihilated the teens. When I say we... that's more like a royal "we", because I did not directly participate in any mass damage in each play. However, everyone 's heart skipped a beat and held their breathe when Drew took a hard tumble. He messed up his ankle pretty bad. One of the greatest father-son relationships I have ever witnessed in my life have been Drew and Mark. The support and comradery that is there is so amazing. When Suzette was down taking of Drew's dirty-nasty shoe, Mark just laid Drew's head on his shoulder and just held him, letting him know it's going to be alright. That's the way I want my relationship with Christ to be, like that of Drew and Mark.
I love being around the Davis family because they are always at each youth event together, having fun as a family within a family. The Fletchers are always hillarious; there is never a dull moment, especially when football and Bobby are in the same room/field. The Rhindages too. You have to know each one of them to know that you don't have to be normal in order to function as a family.
Then there's the Nelson's. I have never witnessed a more Spirit-led family. Just being in their house, I feel a comfort and security that I love being around. They truly use their blessings to bless other, I'm evidence of that. They took me in like one of their own and treated me like one of their own. God lives in this house and I love 'em for it.
I'm not usually this sappy, but I'm tired and I get dramatic when I'm low on energy. I think I knew a drunk from Jersey who was the same way.
