sad days

I don’t have a whole lot to post about this week.

I can’t really even decide how I feel right now, Heather and I went to this funeral a few hours ago, for a young man from a family heavily involved with the Scout troop I work with.

I can’t really say too much except to say that it’s tragic, and hard to put into words beyond that.

I will end on a somewhat brighter note.

Ever heard of the game Minecraft? It’s a sort of Lego set inside a game, without any real goal other than building whatever you want. I played around with it a little, but found I just didn’t like the time it took to do things. Many of the scouts from my troop seem to love the game though. One so much that he brought his homemade action figures to a meeting:

 

You might be thinking “hey those are just weird square blocks” but… they were surprisingly accurate to what the game actually contains. I typically don’t like to post pictures of the scouts, but I figured this was fairly anonymous, and he was so proud of the kit.

I cannot really say that there is symmetry there, except that Scouting has exposed me to things that are incredibly sad, and things that make me really proud of what young men find themselves able to do (a lot more than carving wood blocks, but it’s a start).
