Heroes of my Faith (pt. 2)

Sometimes in life people do really stupid things... I am one of those people... Sometimes you hafta make up for those really stupid things... So I am here to apologize for offending 1/2 of my second Hero. Mrs. Voegtlin. I sorrow over the fact that I have not properly praised the perfection of the meals you have prepared for me. I lament over the fact that you had to make the bed that I should have made, but did not. I fret over the times that I have rolled the window down and thereby got the seat wet. But nothing gives me more grief, than the pain that I caused you by calling you ugly. So, in an open public forum, I am sorry, apologetical, and other words the Thesaurus could come up with for it. I would be graveling on my feet for forgiveness if it would not have been to awkard to type at the same time, although the people in the Library are laughing at me... I guess that what I am trying to say is that I bit the hand that literally fed me and I will make it a conscientious effort not to do it again...

Now on to the Voegtlins together. One of the biggest blessings to me this year was right at the begining back in August when I went into Pastor Whitecar's session on ministry placement and he asked me why I was there. I said something to the effect of because I am supposed to be getting signed up for a ministry and he said that I did not have an option, Pastor Voegtlin already said that I was his. I had a little swelling of pride at that moment. I figured that I must have been some use to him, or that he liked to pick my brain, or something, but for that time I felt special. (But that is another blog -- inside joke) Now I know that I am just everybody's favorite picker-oner. But that is okay. They pick on me because they love me. Seriously though, I have enjoyed the verbal sparing with Mrs. Voegtlin, she is a quick thinker, has a lively attitude and her drive to do the best has and is an inspiration and blessing to me. I also enjoy diving into the shallow end of the conversation pool with the new Doctor every other Saturday. I know that my faith has been more thought through, I know that Speedway has the best Hot Cocoa, but dirty bathrooms, but above all else, you never fail to simply make me think slower and more thouroughly...

So in conclusion, to the people who have fed me, gave me a place to sleep, trusted me, did my laundry, given me rides, challenged me mentally, spiritually and physcially, and allow me to tease those two girls... I thank you, Heroes of my Faith...

Looking Forward to Next Week and May,
