It is weird how something as material as an old pick-up truck can stir up so many memories and nostalgia. A few weeks ago, Janny and I sold my ’96 Chevy S10. I owned it for almost 10 years! Janny and I have our 5th wedding anniversary coming up on March 19th and it has been 10 years since we started dating. In other words, this crazy old, broken down most of the time truck is filled with memories. Road trips all over the state, tear filled airport drop offs when Janny lived over sees for a semester, camping trips when we didn’t have a tent so we slept in the back…on and on and on. Cheers to the old beast!
Also, last night my buddy Allen went with me to hang out with our friends at the homeless shelter. Before we started serving the meal I saw Lyle and was able to catch up with him for a bit. I asked if there was anything new going on and between bites he looked up at me and said, “I got a job!” It was so fun to see his excitement. He said that it was not only helping him financially, but it was helping him mentally and emotionally. His eyes were filled with hope. Cheers to Lyle and some new hope!
