For the Joy of the Journey

We are now “officially” working with Crossroads Missions. My title is Planning Coordinator. Ann and I will be working with the teams to develop plans and methods that will assist them in achieving their goals more efficiently and  effectively. We will not be available full time until after I complete the temporary work at U of L (still haven’t heard definitely about that).

We are mostly packed to leave for Florida with a few days in Nashville before we arrive on Saturday. I expect to take in some lectures at Lipscomb University Wed – Friday. I’m looking forward to visiting with family.

We traveled to Wilmore with Clark and Vanessa to take a dining table and chairs to the Crocketts. We had a nice visit. Daniel, Jerod, Clark and I went to shoot an antique German army sidearm at a local range. I have not done much shooting but I made a decent showing. Jerod was a little reluctant to shoot but he stepped up and did very well. He certainly was better than his Papa. Daniel is quite knowledgable about guns and is a good shooter. Clark is also.

Besides a nice visit over dinner at Panera Bread, we were able to take in the latest tourist attraction in Wilmore. I will not take the time to relate the story behind it but will leave it to your imagination. 

Ryan and Kyle are going with their church youth group to King’s Island today. Ryan’s pledge was that the first thing he is going to do is ride “Son of Beast”. Apparently this is a rite of passage and I expect when he returns if he has ridden the ride he will be a man or at least think he is a man. After looking at the pictures, mabe he will be a man.

Our caregroup is meeting tonight. Lots of good food and visiting. We have been meeting with this group for many years. I will miss their company when we move.

I can hear the thunder. I am on our screened porch and it seems like a good time to take a nap. The ceiling fan is lulling me to sleeeeeeeeeeeee…………………
