One of my heart’s desire is not only to be the best jr hi guy that I can be for the glory of God but also to be the best uncle to my nieces and nephews that are now and will be in jr hi. I also want to be a recourse to my nieces and nephews moms and dads. Tonight was the start of that.
I got a chance to set down with my wife’s sisters oldest son Michael (he is 12) for about an hour talking about life. It was a great talk and one I hope to repeat throughout the years with him. He is a bright young man who has been growing like crazy and I’m a proud uncle. We talked about sports and his baseball ability, how to handle unfair situations, and relationships in different parts of his life. I pray that the words I’ve shared with Michael come from God and not from me. This is going to be a great time as a number of my nieces and nephews will become jr highers soon and some day all of them will past through this awesome time.
