Buckets… again.

Leave a comment

Nice group this morn found three sets of buckets with painful suggestions inside and some nice running in between stations. The Shorty’s watch said 1.7 miles and I guess that includes the time I caught him (not mall) walking.

We can feel the cooler air coming and see the leaves staring to fall as we admire God’s creation. Prayers for my friend Amy, our kids and school folks, and thankful for those around us who are patient mentors.
