BSF started today for the second half of our study of John's Gospel. I have to say that tonight's turnout seem like the lowest we have ever seen. Had a couple students on the Children Program side drop out, which isn't encouraging, but what can we do? I say pray!
I have been thinking about Pat for the most part of the evening...I get this from time to time, thinking about the good times when we hung out with friends. Laughing away the night...eating and drinking...playing games...football... Pat's passing felt like it impacted a lot of lives, if not in an indirect way. Certainly feel like it change the way I see things. One such thing is the expectation of death. It will happen to everyone, we just don't know when. I think I was pretty banged up with Pat that I want to prepare myself to be able to take another person's death with the comfort of knowing where they are going. The truth is...I will never be fully prepared. I think about my parents, my siblings, Annie, friends... I'll never be fully ready to see them go because I have not fully shared my life with them. I do hope for my parents to live long to see their grandchildren. To have my siblings around to talk about days of old. To remember the dumb and cool days with my friends. Most importantly, I want to live life with my wife. The recent passing of a pastor that was significant to my family made me realize this.
Remember always...family is important.
