Okay Dad, can we please go to Home Depot or do something testosteroney to get away from all these girls?

Dewayne Wood

You know, when you are 35 you just don't think about losing friends. People our age just don't die, unless it is in some tragic car accident or something similar. But to fall asleep and simply not wake up?! Dewayne is a friend with whom much valuable time was spent in the past, and not enough was spent in recent years. I remember nights spent with a small band of guys hanging out at our friend Bill's apartment. Sometimes we would talk about "deep life" things. Sometimes we would simply watch "Fear Factor" and gag over all of the gross stuff these people were trying to eat. I remember nights sitting at Innisfree Pub talking about everything from theology to marraige to the finer artistic points of some new music group. I remember him relating that he was moving to Orlando to pursue his Masters in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Shortly therafter Susie and I moved to St. Louis to attand Covenant Theological Seminary. We haven't spoken often enough over the last few years, although I remember fondly our lunch at Johnny Ray's BBQ while I was traveling through Birmingham last summer. He had a wreck on his way there, but still showed up. Typical Dewayne. Dang.... I was really looking forward to being in the same city again. I will miss you.
