I was there once with a group of Girl Scouts (I wasn't one of them but my sister was) when I was about 5 or 6 - a tornado came through and we had to go with our skates on into the center hallway. Scary!!<br /><br />Also it was at a church skating party that I first realized my need for a Savior. I remember sitting in the back corner of the skating rink with my big, clunky four-wheel skates on listening to the youth pastor give a devotional. I was six years old and had been to Sunday School and church since I was an infant. But for some reason things really clicked with me that night. It was the next day that I told my mom I wanted to be saved and she led me to the Lord in my bedroom. <br /><br />It was 1975 - just a few years before Brian was there sprawled out of the floor!

They are having a day of skating with their classmates during school.<br /><br />Of course, one of them was complaining last night about having to wear the clunky old rental 4-wheelers instead of getting a shiny new pair of inlines.<br /><br />Thats the breaks, kid.Brian Ashmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052674477473738205noreply@blogger.com
