In June 2014, I was released as my Ward Varsity Coach. It was a tough. I went camping with my Scouts this past weekend and I realize how much I miss them. I want back in! Bishopric says no. I still work in district advancement. I am now my ward's Executive Secretary.
5 months ago I started with a trial that is the size of a whale. No need to go into detail other than the support system that has surrounded my kids and I. I have had friends come out of the woodwork including my own family surround and support most importantly my kids. I have had some really good days and some really bad days where I just wanted to just go to sleep and not wake up for a few days. Two friends especially (and their wonderful families) have been ridiculously inclusive including Christmas and New Years.
Due to this trial I have spent more time on my knees, in the scriptures, talking with family and friends and per my Bishop's instruction serving those around me so I can forget myself.
Today I feel like I have so many opportunities in life. Today I feel like I can overcome anything. Today I finally feel like I will finally be happy soon. Today I am extremely happy I have such good friends.
I will still have trials but it will be OK.
The ramblings of an ex BSA Varsity Team Coach on Scouting and specifically the Varsity program. My thoughts, ideas and concerns are in no way connected or shared in any form or fashion by the Boy Scouts of America or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) who volutold me to serve as a Varsity Coach. Some personal rambling too........... (I am an Assistant Scoutmaster now that the Varsity Program has been murdered........)

You are a great example to me, Chad.
