Summer Already!

It's really hard to believe that summer is almost here! Each and every day continues to pass more quickly than the one before. It is hard to believe that Justin is in college and Corrine is finishing up her junior year in high school. Summer has already begun for most of the college students which means that many of the kids who I helped coach over the years are now home on break. Throughout the year during the breaks they always manage to find their way back to our home, as we have always had an open door policy. This week in addition to my normal routine I was able to get two solid workouts with Jonny B who now plays football for Temple. I also had some good one on one talking time with Powars (aka... Porky) who is going through some difficult times after breaking up with a girl friend who he believed would be his wife. Scanlan has been back for a few weeks and has agreed to help get Justin back in the gym.

Last night as I reached into the fridge I learned that the entire chicken pot pie which Yeter had prepared the night before was completely devoured. As I looked toward Yeter she quickly reminded me what its like to have all the boys home again. For those of you who have never witnessed a pack of young men attack a well stocked fridge, I can assure you that resembles something you would see displayed on the discovery channel. Although my heart was set on that chicken pot pie I feel like it's a blessing to be part of these boys lives and would not even think of trading it, not even for my chicken pot pie.

The weather has been absolutely beautiful and I was able to find the time to get all my yard work completed. Tonight I will be picking up Todd and the gang from the airport and I am really looking forward to getting back in the gym with him. I am also looking forward to hosting the study group tomorrow night at our home. For now I have another long day at work behind closed doors, and I need to find some time to work on my scripture memorization. (The Heavens proclaim the glory of God, the skies display His craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak, night after night they make Him known.) Twelve more verses to go!!!
