–I’ve got to write about this. I’m disturbed because I read an article in the paper this morning. A twenty-five year old father was arrested because he sodomized his twelve-month-old son. That ruptured the baby’s heart and killed him. I looked at the guys face next the article, ready for the day I could swing a baseball bat through his face. Evil. What a sick, sick person.

That sticks in my gut, and life goes on.

There are good things happening. Tomorrow morning I am helping Monsignor Dale do a talk for a couple thousand youth ministers at the Youth Specialties convention downtown. I met with him tonight, and Monsignor can’t wait to encourage them to be better youth ministers. He wants me to share about my experience this summer filming the Road Rules Challenge. It’s cool, because the first real episode will air on Monday when all the youth ministers are back at their churches around the country. I really pray the editors and writers are fair.

I don’t know how I feel right now. Darkness and light are fighting inside of me.
