"With" Each Other

Hello friends . . . grace and peace, What does it mean to be “with” someone? Do you have to be in the same place at the same time? Can you be “with” someone who doesn’t live in the same part of the world as you? Does being “with” someone require that you spend time together? What if you only connected via technology – text, facetime, sending videos to each other – but were never at the same…

This is my son, John’s, NCAA men’s basketball bracket. In a year when there have been more upsets as well as more unpredictability than ever, John got half of The Final Four correct AND still has both his Finals teams alive as well. Hence, the grin on his face knowing he’s already won one pool he’s in and will likely win the other. Way to go John… you’re amazing! @marchmadnessmbb @ncaa #ncaa #finalfour #downsyndrome @sandiegostateuniversity @uconnmbb https://www.instagram.com/p/CqRrloQOSLZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is our “pre-shenanigans” photo. My wife has left the building on a 24-hour personal retreat. What kind of shenanigans do you think all the Walter Men can get into during that time?? Your very specific suggestions are greatly appreciated and frankly, very expected. #shenannigans #downsyndrome #autismawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWNwtJLDMO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

With age comes change, and I’m 100% cool with that. I got glasses in 3rd grade ‘cuz my eyes are horrible. I got contacts in middle school and have worn glasses only sparingly since that day. But now that I’ve crossed the half-century mark, the eyes continue to change and so, for the next two weeks, you’ll see me in glasses while my eyes adjust to not having little pieces of plastic in them. In two weeks, I go back to the eye doctor and we get to figure out if bifocal contacts will work for me, or if glasses are the best option moving forward. I’m 100% fine with either option but here’s to me me in glasses for 2 weeks!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CovcR_WOGpz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the face of someone who is REALLY happy because the thing that was broken, malfunctioning, and not working which is REALLY important to the sermon tomorrow is, in fact, now fixed, performing, and operating as it should.
