Soccer

Kaley and I have been practicing soccer for the last two days. Today the sun was setting while we were playing soccer. Everything seemed just right, almost too right. I thanked God that I was out on the soccer field and not wasted away on drugs and alcohol. It could be me so easily. I sometimes think it was/is me and I'm getting my second chance. I'm so glad that sight hasn't been reduced to tunnel vision. So much of the time I feel like I will slip off - drown away. But somehow, my fears do not come. Time after time I slip out of death' s grip and end up in green fields and sunsets.

That is awesome. I had a similar feeling pushing Kovi on the swings last night. Our family is pretty great.

Thank God for (multiple) second chances.
