Well, it's been a few days since I posted. Not there wasn't anything to say but getting back from Branson last week presented us with a packed full schedule. Watching Trevor's ensemble instrument performances with KS Lions Band in Wichita. The drum corp was AWESOME and the trombone and flute performances were great too.
Then it was to the church to get a sermon down for Sunday and on and on. The last several days I have been working an article I submitted a query for to a publication called the Lookout. It is a Christian Church publication that, along with the Standard is read by a whole lot of people every week. I was writing a 1500 word article about being in the ministry with a special needs child. Don't know if they will publish it yet or not but I did my part and got it sent in.
It has been an interesting week as I started a new job. I now not only drive Trent to school every day, I stay with him and work as a para-educator in his room. Because of his aggression he is pretty much segregated in a room by himself and the adults that work with him. He was beating them up pretty good so I am now the primary enforcer in the class room, encouraging him to do his work and will be the first to intervene if he gets violent.
Not looking forward to an entire summer of being with him almost all the time, every day, but I'm the Dad - we do what we have to do.
I guess that's how God felt. Surely He didn't want to watch His Son die. Surely it cause Him incredible grief. But that's what He had to do. I'm glad I had an earthly Father who was willing to get the job done and a Heavenly Father who always did the right thing, not just the easy thing. Two great examples of what a Father is. Hopefully my kids can say the same some day.
Thoughts on the Bible, Church, life and living it to its full potential in Jesus Christ!
