Shocking?
Just read this story. Result- never underestimate a middle schooler.
Parents say their 13-year-old daughter stole her mother's car and took off with her 12-year-old boyfriend because the parents had not allowed the middle-schoolers to see each other.
Summer Wood's father, Billy Wood, said the relationship between his daughter and Bryce Garrison was getting out of hand.
"It's just a little crush, and we both realize they are too young for that and I think they didn't want to accept that," Wood said.
Tuesday, in front of her parents, Summer Wood told sheriff's deputies that she felt she just needed to get away. So she and Bryce Garrison took off and drove hundreds of miles, from Oconee County to Greenwood, to Augusta, Ga. and farther in Georgia.
Oconee County sheriff's Sgt. Casey Bowling said, "(We were) dealing with the parents all day yesterday, thinking the worst, hoping for the best."
Verizon Wireless helped deputies track cell phone calls that eventually led them to the car.
The parents said they are happy that the kids are back home, but there are confused by what happened.
Speaking to her daughter, Summer, Leslie Russell, said, "Why would you put all of us through this -- you know, not knowing where you are at. Are you cold? Are you hungry? It's awful."
The parents said that they were shocked by what the children did.
Summer's father, Billy Wood, said, "It never crossed my mind that they would try something like this - especially Summer."
The parents said that they had no idea that either of the kids could drive, but apparently they shared the driving duties during their trip.
When WYFF's Nigel Robertson asked Summer what she had to say to her parents, in a shy, soft-spoken voice, Summer said, "That I'm sorry."
As for punishment, the parents said they will have to talk about what's going to happen next.

missionobility
i have been following carlos whittaker's journey to Uganda over at his blog and i must say that i am loving what i am reading. i like what he says, and how i can see straight through to his heart while he is there.
isn't it weird how hearing about someone else's mission experience can recreate memories of one of your own?
also- to all of you haters out there, carlos works at northpoint-buckhead. so much for only church planters and missional whiners being the only ones doing some good.

psalm 97
these words never cease to move me...
1 The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice.
2 Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side.
4 His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.
7 All who worship images are put to shame, those who boast in idols— worship him, all you gods!
8 Zion hears and rejoices and the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments, O LORD.
9 For you, O LORD, are the Most High over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods.
10 Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is shed upon the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name.

Sad Day
I have been reading a lot and anxiously awaiting tomorrow's testimonies in the latest of baseball's steroid scandal, issue #2 volume 1. i think back to 2005, when the first round of senate testimonies took place. we had three tv's set up in the living room (i was single at the time) to watch opening round coverage of championship week NCAA basketball, the golf tournament, and the steroid hearings. that day, a little part of me died when i heard mark mcguire "not talk about the past." and i lost a little bit of that child-like awe of what baseball had been in my life up to that point. what a sad day for all of us.
