Huckleberries Online

Wild Card/Sunday — 8/17/08

I'm going to be enjoying our small church's annual baptist at North Idaho College beach around noon today. Yeah, it's going to be hot. But at least we'll be lake side. At 4 p.m. Saturday, I witnessed an outside wedding at Gonzaga on a shadeless lawn. And then served as the emcee for the young couple at the McCarthey Center, better known as The Kennel. I must have sweat a gallon. I'll probably do the same again today. But it's wonderful to share these experiences with young folks, church family, and friends. It's a circle of life thing. I've known the bride Saturday since she was a babe in arms. I'm glad that I've lived in one place this long to have that kind of experience. Most journalists don't. Now, I'll play the Wild Card and hit the sack ...
