I love Bus Drivers.

• I love the people that God has brought into my life through bus driving. I was too long being surrounded by the same people and the same walls and never really getting to know anyone else. But I have met wonderful people and made wonderful friendships over the last 6 months that have been refreshing and encouraging and real. We share our laughter, our complaints, and sometimes more of our lives than we should but I love it all and will enjoy it as long as God allows.
  
• One of my dear friends at the Bus Shop, who will remain nameless but we all know who she is, asked me today if I ever sin. She either has such a high opinion of me that she thinks that if anybody could go without sinning it would be me or she thinks so low of me that she cannot imagine my life as a pastor being fun, exciting, or adventuresome. If its the first, I am afraid the she will one day be greatly disappointed in me because I am definitely a flawed man. If it is the latter, I hope that I have been showing a sense of humor, an earthly life, a real faith that wouldn't let her label me as boring. Maybe it is neither of these things. Maybe she just really wants to know what types of sin a guy like me falls into. If she had been coming to church recently, she could have heard some real life confessions of a pastor but I don't know that I'm ready to defame myself in front of everyone at the Bus Shop. I already said that I value their friendship and I want to keep it that way.
• I have like a 40 minute lay over at Woodstock High School following my Sixes Elementary route and before the High School lets out. It has been a lot of fun to get to know another group of Bus Drivers during this time. Life can be hard but good healthy friendships can help lighten the load as we travel this world together.
