Hey guys sorry it's been so long...didn't know what to write. But now I do have a little something it's not long, or grand, or anything. Just a speech really. Um, at the end of this month, is our last quizzing tourney (as my friends say), and it's big, for me, as this is the last year for a dear friend of mine. Caleb will be leaving us for college in the fall, far away from home. We will all miss him, here in Vauxhall. So today's devotion, speech, whatever it may be, is mainly for him...Caleb. When Caleb's family first moved to town, I got to know his little sister. She's about 3 years younger than I am. We palyed lots. I never saw Caleb all that much, he was a shy boy, didn't talk much, at least not when I was around. Though I will promise on a stack of bibles, that I did not and do not stink! Anyway, after a couple of years, I was old enough to join the quizzing program. I am not a people person, at all! So I naturally thought the notion obsurd! But I decided what's the worst that could happen right? Wrong! I had anxiety attacks every single quiz!! I wouldn't, couldn't, didn't, and won't jump! And Caleb, was obviously observing my stubborness slash fear! For he started to coach me on the side. I was not pleased, but I never voiced it. He was constanlty watching my quizes and telling me to jump. He tried bribary, it didn't work...long story short, he was the only person, who got me out of my seat, making me feel confident in my self in all my jumps! He's been a dear friend, and an older borther to me...I will miss a lot. But I know that no matter what, through, thick and thin, an from far and near places...we will ALWAYS be friends. Even though I would love nothing more, than to make sure that he stays here, he has to fly the coop. God is calling him on a mission, and I cannot interfere. No matter how badly I want to. What kind of a freind would I be than? Caleb, keep seeking God, and always lean on him for support, and you'll be okay not matter where you are in the world. Just make sure you come back often for visits, and all I have left to say is...don't get squished out there in that big world.
Dedicated to Caleb Senneker, who is leaving for college this fall.
