On Wednesday I had a dentist appointment. I’m gonna get four wisdom teeth removed on the 19th of this month. Mom and I went shopping for some clothes for me.
Church was that night. Pastor Steve seemed so happy to see me. The church was full of strangers. I’ve been away a long time.
Yesterday, I went to pick Kevin up in Fayetteville. We drove around to look at cars; he needs to get one before he goes to Richmond.
That night we met up with Danny and Peter. The four of us went Asheboro to see Liar, Liar. We spent about an hour at the Golden Waffle eating and sipping on hot chocolate. We’ve known each other for 15 years now.
Fifteen years.
Wow!
I’m concerned for them though. They don’t know the Lord and come from a Hindu background. They went to church with us when they were really little, and I remember Danny accepting Jesus at a Royal Rangers meeting, but now that they are in their 20s, it doesn’t seem like they believe anything. Make yourself real to them God. Use me.
Curtis just called me. I’m flying out of Raleigh tonight. I’ll meet him in Atlanta, then we’ll drive down to Florida in the morning.
For the first time, it is becoming difficult to call and visit old friends. Marcus has come by to visit. He is himself and wonderful, but it’s hard to go see Jenna and Tenielle. I’m not sure that I want to see Jenna pregnant. I would rather just thank God for my past and then move on into the future. But I also know me, and I’m sure I’ll see them before I go away for another six months.
Another semester has faded into the past and I’d like to write down my most favorite moments from it. These are not in any particular order of importance or value, they are all the same.
First, it was the moment right after our final Children of a Lesser God performance when I realized what I had accomplished.
Second, touching Abigail’s face.
Third, seeing the sparkling jellyfish at the Florida Aquarium.
Fourth, walking alone with the geese during the sunset in Ahoskie.
Fifth, sleeping out under the stars with Jessica.
And finally, those countless times when Vince, Dan, Allen, Curtis, and myself would lay around and talk about life, love, and other mysteries. I may not meet my wife at Lees-McRae, but I already know I’ve found friends that will last a lifetime.
