A new year

Wow it is hard to believe that it is 2010; the start of new decade. As in all things in life that experience entropy, so does me and blogging. LOL. I went back to review old blogs and sometimes I really shock myself what I will put out to cyberworld for God and the whole world to see. No harm no fowl; its all good. In reality, since I only have a single follower, all I say is still pretty private.

Not sure I should recap from the last blog entry or just leave 2009 alone all together. Lets just say is started very rocky with me still suffering from bouts of anxiety, panic and a very rocky marriage to just about a 180 degree about face. So on a positive note... 2009 ended positive.

One highlight I will shed light on is youth group. No I am not digressing and attending youth group, but have been serving on the youth group staff for about 8 months now. For those of you who have known me most of my life, this may seem like an oxy-moron... Bob<=> youth group staff. I don't blame you for scratching your heads in bewilderment, because honestly I am too. BUT thanks be to God for delivering me from an emotionallly troubled passed and allowing me to minister to other peoples children. Beyond the cynicism, I am humbled and I realize I could not be where I am at without God and His amazing love for me. It is more than I can take sometimes.

I have been labled the old man of youth group. I am the oldest male leader at 46. Of course it does not help that I am balding and greying at the same time and the regular luggage under my eyes probably ages me a few years... but the spirit is still very young at heart. For now I will ride this amazing wave that God has me to ride. Wednesday nights are like the highlight of my week. I go eat dinner at church with the kids and then spend the next 1.5 hours worshipping and learning about God right along side of them.

It is so good. Another positive piece is added to the puzzle my of life. My eyes are open and look forward to adding new pieces as they become available to me. HE is so good to me.
