One of the thoughts that have been going through my mind since I joined facebook is the college years. I reconnected with many people I haven’t seen or heard from in almost over eleven years. Man the memories are still fresh though. I remember the hill to Henderson Hall, the cafeteria, late night adventures to Perkins, the grease pit in town (the name slips my mind now), even the classes and the discussions I had there. Man, life has been so different since then. I have never regained the sense of family I had there. The large group of friends that did everything together. The few that held the group together. I have tried in church, work, and other ways but the comraderie is not there. I have found other ways, though, that are just as good and even better. I have a beautiful wife I love greatly. I would not exchange her for a hundred friends. I hope though that I can maybe recapture some of the spirit from that time. The late night discussions with Bryan, and Bryan, and Brian, and Chris, and Chris, and Scott, and all the others that enriched my life. It is partly why I started this blog, in hopes they would find it and think the same way, I want some of it again. I think it can only enrich our lives. I know we are all in different places, and any interaction will be shaped by the new lives we have, but to find a new balance would be wonderful. So, if we ave a glass, here’s a toast to the friendship of the past and a renewed friendship for the future for all those that wish to join me. Cheers.
In the Moments
We live a new life
In the moments.As we laugh,
As we cry,
These times
Make us new.
Looking deeply in the eyes
Of your destined bride,
That is a new life.
Holding your new born
Fresh from the womb,
That is a new life.
Kneeling beside the bed
Of a loved one dying,
That is a new life.
These moments
Forever change us
Creating a new life,
In the moments.
Wasn’t the grease pit named “Pops”?
Yeah it was Pops. I just forgot. I was typing while tired. You understand.
