This past week has felt like a rollercoaster of sorts. I was lucky enough to take in a couple Giants games (including a rare one with my daughter!), which I always enjoy. Since I was a child, attending live baseball games has relaxed me. As a fan of the sport, and now being blessed by attending games in a beautiful ballpark, I appreciate the experience even more as I get older. Later next month my hometown Phillies take on the Giants and I look forward to cheering them on with my whole family.
The challenges of the past week involve some ups and downs in the lives of the young whom I support. At home and in the settings of the schools I accompany, I marvel at the complexity of life that is presented to today’s youth. I am convinced that the strength of our relationships will sustain them – and us – on this rollercoaster of modern life.
The resources I share this week are a couple simple quotes along with a Tiny Desk concert from an excellent British musician, Sheku Kanneh-Mason. He recently released a new EP, “The Swan,” that I recommend, and this concert is a good one too. Blessings on your week ahead!
