I nearly lost him and I never knew it. Over the weekend I found out that a friend from my youth group growing up had been struggling with depression. He shared in a Facebook post how he fought the battle by himself, fell into a bottle and almost took his life last year. It broke my heart.

I grew up in northwest Indiana and didn’t visit Nebraska until I was in junior high. I wish I could remember more about the trip. Memory is a funny thing. There are so many things I wish I could remember, and so many things I wish I could forget. But that’s a column for another day.

During this last legislative session the term “woke” was being bandied about the legislative floor like a birdie in a badminton game. One day a senator suddenly stood up and demanded the word not be used any longer!

This weekend was my church’s 150th anniversary. Two former pastors came back and shared memories. It was a time of reflecting on memories. There were many photos from the past, of former pastors and buildings. It was much like a class reunion. I haven’t been to my last few class reunions.
