This school year has been a fun year for me. I was blessed when I got the offer to be the chaplain for a high school volleyball team at Reynolds High School. It has been a unique ministry, but also a blast at the same time. I get to attend most of the the games as I am able, home or away.

I got the chance to speak to both team today, both JV and Varsity. I shared about decisions and regrets, meaning how the decision we make can make us regret things for the rest of our lives. I was able to share with the girls about my past and my high school days and how I made certain decisions in high school that have haunted me forever and probably will for the rest of my life.

I have changed so much from my high school days, by my attitude, personality, and actions have been etched into the minds of so many, and when my name is said or when I am seen, I am remembered by others in only one way: a wild, partying, cussing freak that was nothing but trouble. This is what I have to live with because this is a part of my life I sowed into other people's lives. I am not proud of it, but I still have to live with it. It was an awesome time of sharing with the girls and there was not a dry eye in the place, mine included! It was a very emotional time for me personally.

I ask you to please keep the JV and Varsity volleyball team in your prayers. Also pray that God will give me the words to be able to encourage these young ladies before they make bad choices in their lives that might affect them forever. Please pray that they will not have to live with the regrets in their lives that I have had to live with, but also thank God for my relationship with Christ. He is slowly wiping away all my regrets from my heart and mind. Amen.

Thanks again for your time, much love to you all in Christ
