Weekend Madness

• Friday I headed to Ms. Miles house to check on her and spend some time talking to her.
• Friday I had some dinner at Champs at South Point and then headed home cause I felt like my head was about to fall off.
• Saturday I had a guy who came out to help do some work on the house. Little odds and end stuff nothing huge
• Saturday was also a lazy day for me cause I felt like I was walking around at about 40%
• Sunday was church and Hope Creek was ROCKIN
• Sunday was wrapped up "The game of Life" and Scott was all over it. Great job dude.
• Chris was sick and had no voice but Kate stepped it up and did an awesome job leading worship.
• Killer ending to the sermon with "Love Story" by Taylor Swift and we showed photos of all the couples in the church
• Back in Kidz Cove we were talking about fairness. Did something really cool and as I told the story one of our new leaders Ty drew a picture of what I was talking about. Man the kids loved it and it just brought a whole neither level to the COVE
• Sunday the Kidz collected item for Circle of Love to donate to the Durham Rescue Mission. Just one word to sum it up. AWESOME!!!!!!!
• Going with a group of folks from The Creek to North Point Church in ATL for a couple of days should be fun to hang out and get some new idea's
• Still trying to get used to this new normal that I have now in my life. It is hard to not think of Carlton but I know where he is and how healthy he is now and that makes me happy. Just going to take some time to get used to it.

It's so hard to say goodbye

A week ago today at around 5:00 pm I had to say goodbye to one of my best friend here on this planet Carlton Miles. Along with losing my grandparents it has been the hardest thing I ever had to do. My grandparents lived long lives 78 and 82. Carlton was gone after only 45 short years. I knew Carlton first as my teacher who took me under his wing and taught me to sing from my soul. To preform like it was your last time here on earth. After becoming my mentor he became my friend. As my friend he still taught me so such. I have had some great times with him over the past 10 years. But I will have many more great times with him cause I carry him in my heart and will pass the wisdom he gave to me to others I cross paths with. Carlton Miles will live on forever in the hearts of people he touched.
Here are so highlights I thought I would share.

• Singing Lionel Richie in a huge town car in NH while doing a Cancer benefit
• Sitting on the deck at Mrs. McIver's beach house watching the sunset
• Watching Carlton dance after UNC won the national championship in 05
• Having Carlton as a drummer in church got me to go back to church again
• Serving beside him in Kidzoogle and creating a place where 400 people a week saw how cool God can be.
• Getting some of the best seats on Broadway in NYC cause he was so big
• Late night talks sitting out on the patio while enjoying a nice steak
• Knowing he was going to sing a Laura and my wedding makes me smile cause he loved us that much

Carlton I love you. You were more than just my teacher, mentor, friend, you were my brother and I will miss you everyday. I can't wait to hear the band you are a member of when I meet you in heaven again someday.

Time off

Taking some time off from Blogging to spend with a great friend of mine that is not doing to well right now. He is very sick and could use lots and lots of prayers. If in the moment I am moved to blog I will but I really want to turn all of my focus on to helping and being there for him. I will be back soon.
Thanks for reading and understanding
