The warriors make an advance

My Heart of a Warrior men's group is going on an "advance" tomorrow. We're going up to my mom and stepdad's lake home near Brainerd, Minn., for the weekend.

I'm quite nervous about it. I want everything to go well. I have many negative memories of the lake home, because I had difficult times with my stepdad while I was up there. (In one instance, he even threw my Hacky Sack into the lake. I doubt that I will ever see that Hacky Sack again.)

Hopefully by having this "advance" (we're moving forward, not retreating) up there this weekend, I will start to create positive memories and bring a new feel in my heart for their lake home.
