Like Mike… or Denzel

You know that scene from “Remember the Titans”… the one where Coach Denzel walks out to a quiet and empty football field and says something like, “Yeah, this is it.  This here is my sanctuary.”… you know the scene?

I love that scene.  Even more, I love that feeling.  Tonight I feel it.

It’s past 2:30 AM.  I’ve been the only one up for a couple hours already.  I’m finishing my lesson for tomorrow.  No, I don’t normally work this schedule.  I actually hate it when it happens like this.  But this does feel like my sanctuary, like that place where things make sense and where I am blessed beyond what I deserve.

If tomorrow sees the blessing pass on to others as well, then it might even count for something.

Good night.
