Memory Lane ... 2001

I'm mulling through quite a few different thoughts lately that I will share on here eventually, but something a little different for now.

I was going through an old Bible of mine, and it was a hardcore trip down memory lane. Notes from people that I haven't talked to in years, some I haven't thought of in years, and some I don't even remember. It seems like a lifetime ago and maybe it was. High school was forever ago, right?

I am asked by my students all the time who I still talk to from college, but that tends to be my only thoughts on the matter. But today, as I was going through some study notes I will be using tonight I grabbed this Bible to use some of the maps in back, and all of the sudden I was immersed in someone's life.

I did find a poem of sorts that I had written called "I Know". I don't remember it at all, but it was dated February 16, 2001. Nearly 9 years ago and the statements of "I wonder ..." are barely recognizable. And then I realized, I'm thankful. I read through the questions and statements thinking of how thankful I am that God has brought me to such a different place in life.

A trip down memory lane reminds me that I'm not who I once was. And I praise God for this journey.
