This weekend was a great weekend.
I was honored and humbled to stand up for my best friend growing up as his Best Man. I was also humbled to be handed the microphone at the reception. As someone who speaks a lot (a couple of times every weekend), I love to speak and feel comfortable on stage with the mic. But this weekend at the reception, I was seriously nervous. I haven't felt that way about a speaking engagement for a while.
But one of the great things about this weekend is that I thought about things that I haven't thought about for a while.
- church camp... when Dale Harlow, my youth minister growing up tried to convince 5 of us that Jason from Friday the 13th was coming to get us. Brad Davis and myself ran like little girls, another of group fell down and cried like a little girl while Aaron, the groom this weekend, planned to stand his ground.
- travels with our church... Orlando... Indianapolis... all those trips to Columbus... Cincinnati and other Bible Bowl spots along the way.
- a trip to Kings Island in Cincinnati with some buddies from college.
- taking a road trip and listening to the Macarena on the radio... and thinking it was 'cool!' Man, were we wrong.
It was amazing to stand up for my friend. I would do again... a million times.
What an honor!!!
