Friends and Family

This has been a great weekend. Our weekend started before sunrise Saturday morning traveling to Lyles, Tennessee for a Cub Scout camping trip. I was amazed at the amount of people that turned out for this event, there must have been well over a thousand people. The campground at Cedar Crest was covered with a varying array of tents. The highlight of the weekend for my son was earning his shooting badge and his archery badge. He also excelled at roasting marshmallows, no badge for this skill though.

Early Sunday morning, once again before sunlight, we broke camp to get home in time to get ready to go to Midway church of Christ for Friends and Family day. This was our first return to Midway since leaving the congregation to become Family Life minister at Waynesboro. It was good to get back and see all of our brothers and sisters in Christ with whom we had grown so close.

Cary Crews, of the Wayne Furnace church, did an outstanding job preaching God's word. The food was great. I got to meet Frank Foust, Midway's new minister and his wife Linda. But most of all I enjoyed the handshakes and hugs, those displays of genuine love from one Christian to another.

One thing in life you can never have too many of is friends and family. God has blessed me with many loyal friends and the love of an awesome family!
