Last night, I had what I consider another milestone in my life. Jaron had his first practice as a member of the Pearl Pirate High School Marching Band! Angie and I were supposed to pick him up from practice, so we went about 30 minutes early and stood on the sideline to watch him. The memories and the excitement for me just came flooding back. I really hope he loves band and will want to be a part for as long as he can, both in high school, in college, and maybe even in drum corps! That would make me very proud!

Today’s Top 50 Person: Ginger Lindsey. Ginger was my best friend-girl in high school. We went to prom together! I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone with more life, more energy, and more love for the people around her. She is just so special! I remember meeting her in 7th grade right after I moved to Amory, and we immediately hit it off. That’s probably why I was accepted into the “inner circle” of popular kids when I got there. Although we live in separate cities these days, she’s one of the very few people that, when we talk, we pick up right where we left off and it seems like we were never apart. I love you Booger 2!

Today’s Quote: “Give your time and energy only to the things at the heart of your life.”

Today’s Thanks: Peace. A life filled with turmoil must be hell on earth. I am so glad that I don’t have anything in my life that overcomes the “peace that passes understanding” that comes from the filling of the Holy Spirit.

Today’s Verse: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20.
