I just returned home from a trip to Savannah, where I attended the Georgia Music Educators Association meeting. It was a great trip. I was able to renew acquaintences with my colleagues and former students.
Thursday began in Covington where I ran 6.2 miles after learning that a friend and choir member had passed away. I thought About John and his wonderful family as I ran.
Following the run, I got in me car and headed off to Savannah. I took a detour through Statesboro, to visit with my friend and former choir member, Lyn Deal. Upon my arrival, at Georgia Southern, I was greeted by my son, Brian. He was hidden in a Live Oak Tree on Sweetheart Circle. He phoned me from the tree. We went to Deal Hall and had a brief conversation with my good friend Lyn. We reminisced about old times and remembered our friend John Wallace.
Later that evening, I was listening to the John's Creek High School performance of "It Is Well with My Soul" and found myself praying for John's family and remembering how much the Pittman Park Choir loved singing a particularly beautiful arrangement of that song. John and his wife Mary Bon have always been faithful members of that organization.
More about Friday later. I'm tired from my road trip. Remember, it's always a good day to run.
