elevating a generation

Okay, this video I ran across today brings back all sorts of wonderfully painful memories. Wonderful, because of a fun Newbies’ Night with several youth workers that were part of our great volunteer team at the time (probably four years back or more)… terrible, because this was the evening that a student had unknowingly stepped on my horribly swollen toe (swollen from a drum set’s ride cymbal falling onto it lengthwise just a few days earlier) and releasing a pool of “bloody mess” inside my sock and shoe.

This video details the unveiling of my toe back at the house, along with several of the team members that had followed us back home to watch.  Gross, I know!

BTW, the reason that I stumbled across this today was that my good friend, Brandon Cannady, who filmed and edited this little masterpiece became a daddy to two twin girls earlier this afternoon. Congratulate Brandon here.
