Lunch was kind of a hodgepodge today. We had some leftover chicken taco meat in the fridge and a can of cream corn and some beans. So I whipped up something chili like and had it with apple cider. I felt like I was at a ski lodge! Yummmm!
I volunteer with our church youth group, It is for 6th graders through 12th graders. Until recently it was two separate youth groups one for 6th 7th and 8th graders and one for 9th through 12th graders meeting on separate nights of the week. During the Summer we would allow the incoming 6th graders to join the middle school group and the outgoing 8th graders to attend both groups. As the Summer would draw to an end I would give the outgoing 8th graders a short (2-3 minute) commencement on their last night of the younger group.
In 2016 my son Charlie was one of the kids moving up to the high school group. I challenged the students to have a "2020" vision of what they hoped to achieve in High School especially how they could be used by God in their new schools.
Little did any of us know about what the year 2020 held for us. In fact my son's senior year was progressing quite normally until March 13th turned out to be his last day of high school that actually met at the high school. Since that day, 2020 was a rather tumultuous year (Understatement Alert).
The events of the past 2 weeks make 2021 look like it's going to be more of the same. How do we get through another year like that?
Thanks White Sox.com for this video showing 5 great moments from the 2020 season.
