Update

Well,

Tonight I began my assistant coaching career by helping our 8th Grade Basketball Team to victory. We are 1-0. It was beautiful. I will only have to attend games with our team. I love the game of basketball and have a dream of one day coaching my own team. I have days in which I would like to teach bible and coach both basketball and football. My new dream job besides the one I currently have. I am the Chaplain for both Elementary and Junior High. Some days, I think I am better suited to coach and teach bible. This is just the time of year for teachers.

My mom is doing great! She has been sober now for a while. We look forward to the holidays.

I am back at East Cobb and worship has been incredible. I believe I needed and the congregation needed me to be gone for awhile. absence makes the heart grow fonder I believe is the saying.

Dating: Right now no one special. I have lost some weight here lately worrying about my mom. We are good, and I look forward to getting back on the saddle of dating again.

Spiritual Family

Spiritual Family is a big deal for me. You see I grew up as a bus ministry kid. My physical family still to this day does not frequent a local church. I have always enjoyed being surrounded by good spiritual people. I love those who are authentic and real. I have always been attracted to church people. Recently, I am back dealing with my physical family. I now understand more than ever the need to be surrounded by your spiritual one. We all have problems we must deal with, but having your spiritual family there is important. I have now gone back to the church that I have been leading at since my return to Georgia. I have found that I needed them a whole lot more than they needed me. Circumstances allowed me to return right where I left off which is Great. I really wanted to get real involved at North Atlanta church and jump right in. I know now that small churches is more my style. I have work with and have led singing at many of our large churches. I love the small ones. This is not everywhere, but the deep connected friendships I have had over my lifetime have been from my small church experience. I am dealing with my mom, but I am glad to have people who care and will walk with me this next journey. Small churches or Large churches I believe you need to be connected. Are you connected to a local church? Have you been burn by churches in the past? If so, start over again and see where God takes you.
