Chasing Red Rubber Balls

…Learning:
I met and spoke with a man named Kevin Carroll the Katalyst this weekend and all I can say is WoW (Flavor Flav style)!!! A quiet giant in speech and manner, he shared his story and ignited a spark of hope and belief that was just great. Also as a part of this weekend I went to a Rodeo for the first time. My group was the minority (amazingly) at this event but I had a blast . . . up until the part where the clown guy who chases the bull away from the cowboy got his face tackled into the solid iron guard rail . . . this happened about 48 hours ago and I bet you he is still bleeding (that’s how hard he got hit y’all). So these new experiences allowed me to learn and embrace diversity so very much that I can’t wait until I do it again.
