Friend of our family ~

It's so interesting with all the negative reporting and negative ads that we are barraged with repeatedly in the war to win our dollars to see something truly positive and exciting in the youth coming up.

I know a guy that is a friend of our family. He is someone that we were happy to have over to spend the night with our boys playing video games, eating food, and just hanging out. I watched him do grade in high school and then go on to do good things in college. I've cheered from a distance for his accomplishments over the years. And recently he was ordained as a Deacon in his church where he will now take a greater role in shepherding the flock of people that go to his church.

These sort of things are not celebrated openly because of the derision that the church and being a goody two shoes gets. But I celebrated because it shows that the things I've tried to raise a family to believe and do are also being taught by other families. I'm glad that we are not alone. And I'm glad that this young man is growing into a great leader who will do great things quietly and responsibly. And will continue to hold the line and even move it forward against the darkness that so wants to overcome the light.

Good stuff!
