The Day After

Most of the time, the day after may bring dissappointment. What seemed like fun pales in the light of day. What seemed smart turns out to be dumb. But then there are times when the day after leaves you wishing you could do it again. Today is one of thsoe days. But it's not just because of last night. Don't get me wrong, last night was incredible. But it was great because of the last 6 years building up to it. We ended our summer of youth group meetings last night. Playing the best games from this year's graduating class, sharing memories from the past 4 years, and just being together was awesome.

And since I am a firm believer in giving and receiving grace, stop by and talk to me if you're in need of some. The paperwork may cry out, but it'll get done...perhaps on a new day.
