Impacting Lives??

On good days, I feel like I make my students' days more tolerable. I try to make an impact on their lives but the reality is that only some will remember me or what I tried to impart to them. Recently, due to Facebook, I was reconnected to a few former students now in their 20s. They were all doing well. It is good to see kids grow up and become successful adults although it makes me feel really old. I feel that I had a small role in their success. Ironically, I do not feel like I have a role in the utter failure of my young hoopsters (Huh, love the irony).

Mercifully, the season is nearly over and I will have more time to help Jana with morning duties. My wife is amazing! Thanks to all of those who had a part in making her the woman, mother, friend, and companion she is today. God has blessed me!
