Seasons

As the seasons change, or so I hear - we don't have many colors as proof down here in Abilene - so do our seasons of life and relationships. As we've come to know some of our new friends some of the more notable events and stories have slowed. But please do not hear me write this with a negative tone. We in the Allelon house remain excited for the growth and depth of relationship to come, only possible through time and God's divine appointment.

We play a fair amount of basketball, football, and tennis with youth from the neighborhood. Some stopped coming around and others took their place. Still new faces spring up each week. Each Monday, someone(s) make it to Moo Moo's football game to root him on as he intercepts countless passes and goosesteps into the end zone for numerous touchdowns. Tomorrow, I hope some of us will take in a gymnastics meet and this weekend there might be some pumpkin carving excitement.

Good things are happening. Relationships molding. Souls interweaving. Some ribbing and wrestling splatter the freshly chilled air with laughter. Everybody learns from everybody, and we wouldn't have it any other way. But continue to stay tuned, for there are more tales to be told including a potential LeCrae concert, a Christmas party, and God knows what else.

We like to thank anyone who reads this for their prayers. They are much solicited and appreciated. Also, since Wes and I posted on the same day, MAKE SURE YOU CONTINUE READING BELOW, for his words are rich, encouraging, and water to a weary soul.
