TWO DAYS...

Lists...lists...lists... Unfortunately my lists are growing and not getting shorter.  The more I do the more I think of what needs to be done!  My brain is starting to fall out! 

     Last night I had a blast watching Ben's swim team win against a division rival.  The contrast between the two teams was striking.  We don't have a team pool and though last night was a 'home' meet, we had to borrow their pool to host the event.  They have a pool and a facility that is state of the art.  Lush!  Yet our little country team (actually we are 200 strong) can out yell, out cheer and outswim almost every team in our region.   I was proud to stand there and watch those kids.  We swim with heart and passion.  We don't just cheer for the fastest either.  I watched team members yelling for the kids who were coming in last place with as much passion as if they were winning the race.  It warmed my heart.  Each person on our team has value.  What a concept.  I can't wait for Aaron to be part of that world.  So many came up to me last night, letting me know that they are praying for us.  It felt good.  We know that Aaron will be cared for tenderly by the coaches and the families on our team.   It is an incredibly loving group of people.  I'm going to miss watching the meets in the next weeks.  I'll have to root from afar.
