So I did the reunion thing this weekend. It was pretty weird seeing people I hadn't seen or heard about for so long. Actually, only a couple of the people I used to hang out with in high school were there. My closest friends from that time of life didn't come. Still, I had a cool conversation with the husband of one of my classmates. He's an associate pastor in another part of California. As we were talking, he said, "You know, what I'd really like to do is plant a church." That got me fired up, so we talked through that whole deal.
Planting a church has been more and more of a thought topic for me, and conversation topic with Michelle. Don't know where, don't know when, don't know how. The thought process will continue.
Oh, by the way, on the way to the reunion Saturday night, Michelle and I got rear-ended in my truck. We were going about 50mph, so the other driver had to be doing 65 or 70 . . . on a road with a 45mph speed limit. Fortunately, nobody was injured - not badly anyway - my neck is sore, and I have a headache today, but I have a weak neck because of prior injury. My truck's bumper got banged up, but the other guy's car hood buckled, and his radiator blew out. Oh yea, the guy had no driver's license or car insurance either - Mexican dude. I'm not angry about it. With the exception of his incredibly stupid driving, I actually kinda feel bad for the guy. He got cited for no license and no insurance, plus his car is wrecked. He probably has a family in Mexico that he sends all his money to while he works for us rich Americans.
