holy water....

In my new apartment building, there is a common area on each floor. It's basically a big lobby with some really nice couches and chairs as well as some bookshelves. Each area has a coffee table with a never ending supply of assorted candy in a bowl. I think the intent is to get people out of their apartments, possibly curl up on the couch and read and generally interact with people. I have yet to see anybody use these areas for their intended purpose and I don't think I'll be the first. giggle.
However.... scattered throughout these lobbies are old photos from Clarksville High School. One of my favorites is a picture on the first floor of the championship football team in the 1940's. The photo shown here is of the Class of '25. It is in the main lobby right at the base of the stairs that I use to get to my apartment. I pass by it every morning and night. Each time I pass by, I touch the photo and I ask the Class of '25 to watch over me. It's kind of like my daily sacrament. Amen
