September 26 – “Evidence”

Before I say anything about my day, I thought I would insert a little evidence.  Oh, not of a crime or anything like that.  Quite the opposite, actually.  Just wanted to have it in writing that I personally heard Chris Passons tell his wife Heather about their breakfast plans for the weekend with some friends who are coming to town.  Now I don’t think that will be a problem in this particular instance, since there were no real distractions going on, and neither of them were playing video games, but now the facts are in. 

Obviously our day was rather calm yesterday.  Slow news day on the Vaughan front.  About time.  I finished up work on the sermon for Sunday, but we had to make a WalMart run.  I needed a few … um, “props” … for the teaching.  Gotta keep those folks on their toes, you know.  Well, at least keep them awake for part of the teaching.  We also had to pick up some more of the items for the retreat center project.  It was good to just walk around holding hands with my girlfriend and watching people be … people.  Always a great stress reducer.  We also had to go by the post office and stand in line.  Another given, unfortunately.  We had to return a Precious Moments Collector’s Club figurine.  It was broken when we received it.  Also sent a book back to Josh that he left here when they last visited.  Oh, and Chris sent a certified letter to her lawyer.  Best we can tell it contained the final pieces to the settlement of her Mom’s estate.  It will be a really happy day when that chapter of our lives is complete.  We celebrated last night with a bowl of homemade lima beans and an Astros game on TV.  Of course the Astros lost to the Rangers, but it was a good night anyway. 

Titus 3:9 says, “But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.”


Father, thank you for slow news days and completed chapters and friends who communicate.  Amen.
