Thankful...

 The WCMS fundraiser is always a good time. I  laughed, talked, and spent to much money with fellow workers and friends. The smile was on my face but my heart was a little heavy. A year ago today one of my former students was killed in a freak accident. Spencer Nicodemus was a senior in high school who was getting ready to graduate and take on the world. As people remembered Nico and talked about him, it was amazing at all the lives he had touched. Nico lived a life that was ready to meet God at any time. He lived each day to its fullest and left a mark on this world. He knew no strangers, helped out anybody, and put others ahead of himself.  Life is so short and I want to make sure that when it is my time to meet God I am ready. Even though my heart was a little heavy, I enjoyed tonight and tried to live like Nico.
