Some other things I've been involved with in the past 12 days: Doing a walk/run with Julie at a rustic county park. She ran 4.4 miles, while I walked. It was a great temperature, and the trails were hilly and scenic.

Watching and listening to a See You At The Pole rally for our area's Christian teenagers. A few churches

banded together to worship, hear of the morning events, and encourage teens to stand up for Christ.

Assisting with a service activity for Middle Schoolers. We helped clean the house/do yardwork for a widow who is moving out of town. The seven kids were very willing to work, but we laughed together as we discussed, "I don't want to clean at my house, but I like cleaning at someone else's." I said, "Join the club."
