June 8th

First day of no school for the kids. They seemed to enjoy it. I ran errands this morning and the weather was incredible. I finished out the rest of the flowers out front.
Briar ran errands with me. At one point, driving by Walmart, she says "Why does Walmart have a Subway?" I was like "I have no idea." She ended the conversation with "I don't know why they'd do that when we have one right here." Great observation for a 5 yr old.

Cleaned the bathrooms and then went on an hour and half workout. Chasing the frisbee is something I can only really do in the summer. It was fantastic.

In the evening I picked up the guitar for a bit to keep the finger strength up.

Pacem In Terris

Last week I went to Pacem in Terris. Such a cool experience. The cabins are outfitted perfectly for simple living that leaves you pining a little bit for modern conveniences but also supplies you with enough to feel like you can sustain yourself on very little. Which, in reality, you can. I journaled extensively throughout my stay there.( July 9th in the afternoon through mid-morning on the 12th). It was muggy and buggy the entire stay save the first night, it cooled down quite a bit which was nice. By the third night it was so hot at night that I attempted to sleep out on the screen covered porch. That went OK until about 2 in the morning and then a thunderstorm raged through. That was great, I like the thunder and the lightning but there was no cooling effect from it unfortunately. They supplied me with a straw hat on which to drape a full-body bug net. I tried to go outside without it. Nope. The rest of the time I wore it almost every time I ventured outside. I saw lots of wild...

Disc Golf with Jeff

New dude to the area named Jeff. He's a good guy. Met him playing ultimate a couple months back. He's a thin dude with some cool tats. 40 years young. :) He's pretty articulate and fun to talk to. The other day we went disc golfing together right here in town. It was good time for sure. We got right into it. Started talking about our story in faith. He's much different than I and he had no problem pushing back on a couple of things that I said regarding my thoughts on hell. I was impressed! He was also pretty against imagining that Obama had any redeeming qualities as a president. So yeah, if there was any non-bubble conversation I needed to have, I got my wish LOL. This is one of the guys that I invited to the poker get together so I think I made a good choice. Even after we finished our discussion and round of disc-golf he wanted to meet for breakfast the next day after morning basketball. I couldn't because I had a coffee scheduled with someone. I look for...

June 6th and 7th

Got to do some stuff around the house. Bought and put out the flowers for the summer. Sat in the yard and read Blue Like Jazz. Took the boys to soccer.. ya know that usual. It was nice to run some errands with Alissa and just talk about whatever. I guess you could say we got to CONNECT!
