West Cocoa Chat

Sorry about the frustration yesterday with my post. I tried several ways to link “Beef’s” email and the files he created for you to listen to my son harmonize but it didn’t happen. BTW – Wouldn’t you like to have a cool nickname like “Beef?” Beef is a great guy who wants to go into ministry starting with youth I believe. There will be a hole in our college ministry when he, Keith who is a graduate of the AIM Program, Mark who is a good friend of Steven’s, and Jodi who attended AIM as well, leave for Oklahoma Christian.

I called Beef to ask permission to link his email to my blog so folks could listen to their recording. He told me Steven had the ability to harmonize and they wanted to do another recording before they all left for college. To be honest I don’t have a clue how to sing harmony or for that matter what it sounds like. I just want everyone around me to be in “harmony” when they hear me sing or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof.

Yesterday was my next to last time to cut grass with “the boys” at our church building as I go back to school a week from this coming Monday. As I’ve said before the “boys” are men older than me although yesterday we were a bit short-handed so the boys were made up of Glenn who heads up the team and is a former “Sergeant Major of the Army,” myself, and Josh who is in his 20’s. My job is to weed-whack.

To give you an idea how much weed-whacking that involves at our church I went through 2 tanks of gas yesterday. But here is the weird part – I actually enjoy it. I would love to get to the point where I can retire and here’s the big one – with health and be able to have the time to do this kind of work for our church and for folks who can’t do it themselves.

I love the camaraderie of hanging out with the boys and then getting something done together. Anybody need their yard weed-whacked?

Well I’m headed out with my fellow elder Curt in about 30 minutes to the Orlando area. He has some business to take care of and he wanted to know if I wanted to ride. Being the road warrior that I am, I’m headed for O-town.

Have a good weekend family.
