BOY SCOUT POPCORN
I
dropped her off at the door and I went to the gas pumps to fill up the
CRV. I was not really multi-tasking; I
was avoiding, evading, … I just did not want to be bothered to buy some over-priced popcorn, twice the price
as the GV popcorn inside the store!
I am
sitting about 15 spaces from the “hawker” scouts, watching them raise money for
their group. But, I know that scout
leader and his son. “Why is he doing
this …?” is my question! What is he
trying to accomplish? (why am I writing
this?!) This is a man who has his boys
on weekends, at best. His wife ran off
with his co-worker that they befriended and housed during a rough spot in his
life.
This
man is trying his best to keep it together, spending time with his boys, however
he can, teaching them how a true man acts?!
His wife may be a trollop. His
friend may have betrayed him on the deepest level. His co-workers may whisper and glance away
from him. But, he keeps on. He is showing his boys – the world is not
totally dark!
I might
have shot him, the “other guy.” As for
his wife, I am thinking “Hosea and Gomer”?!
I need to respond to life with faith, and with hope, and with love. That scoutmaster is teaching this disciple!
Well,
let’s go home and watch Bama play ball while we munch our popcorn! "Roll,
Tide, Roll"
