• My dad and i had one of those amazing talks. wonderful. you know when you just have a heart deep thing and it is just deeply satisfying. and when it is with someone like your dad, who you greatly respect and admire, it just makes it even better. and every little girl needs those. me included.

  Alex got shot in the head. he was walking down the street and was between two guys who were shooting about something. he died. he had just turned 13. he’d come up to the youth center alot this summer. he was a good kid. didn’t really bother anyone. he was Tisha and Kenisha’s uncle (how he accomplished that is beyond me) and they are going to the funeral today. it was just one of those facts that hits you from nowhere and you wonder what you are supposed to do about it.

  I have been doing the Bible study for the little kids. Detron comes up to me every day asking if i am “gonna preach today.” What ends up happening is we get through one verse–reading it, learning what it means, and finding applications. pretty nice. candy or rewards are normally somewhere involved…which is why my “preaching” is so very popular. oh well.
