Thursday!?!?

So it's finally Friday, what a great Thursday I had yesterday! I started my day off at Project SOS's breakfast and program. I followed that up with some work in the office and a few visits to people that I am trying to get in with and do some presentations for. I then went to a lunch meeting of the St. Augustine Youth Ministers Alliance with some of my closest friends in the ministry. We had a great lunch and shared our hearts, our struggles, our prayer requests and our praises. It's always a great time when you can join with others entrenched in the same battles and daily struggles.
Then after that I ran to football at Pedro where I was able to be a part of the pre-game meal for the freshman team and do a BIble study for the Junior Varsity before their game. I always enjoy those times of fellowship and time with the players and coaches. It's also a great opportunity to meet some of the parents. When I got done there I jumped in my truck and the strangest thing happened. I can't explain it, I can't figure it out but it happened. I jumped on I-95 and started driving North because the freshman team was playing in Ponte Vedra so I took off and headed that way. I was approaching the exit for 16 and for some reason I veered off at that exit and drove home. Now, I love, absolutely love my Thursday and Friday nights on the sidelines and being with the boys in their time. It's the highlight of my day for sure to be there with them. BUt, last night I realized that our family is never all home for the night during the week. Tara works Monday and Tuesday nights, we have youth on Wednesday nights, Freshman/Junior Varsity football on Thursdays and Varsity football on Fridays. So there it is, I chose to spend time with my girls and we had fun watching television, wrestling with P.J., doing homework and just hanging out.
I do look forward to tonight and being with the guys again. Tara will be working at the Fall Festival at Southwoods so I will be off on the bus to Middleburg tonight. Go Falcons!
Thanks for reading and have an awesome weekend!
