Well,
OK then. Let me start out by referencing
my statements from yesterday. The Astros
got to the World Series. Good. As of last night, they have officially won a
World Series game (something that has
never happened before). Great. And for me, the culmination of my goals for
this year. But, hey. I like gravy as much as the next guy. Any more wins would be just that. And a World Series victory? Mind-boggling. All they have to do is win three more
games.
And
speaking of dancing … I’m fairly certain there were more than a few home run
dances happening in front of some late-night TV’s last night. The one in particular that I saw on FaceBook
was the stuff of legend (You are my
dance-off hero, Ed Dawson). What an
exciting extra-inning game that was.
Pitcher’s duel to start with, then a home run fest to conclude. And not just one home run … a flurry of them,
eight to be exact. Talk about something
for everyone. Oh, and Cameron Maybin
even stole a base. Why is that so
significant? Because now the entire
country can go get a free taco at Taco Bell on November first. How’s that for marketing?
So back
to my meager life … Chris and I met the bug guy at church yesterday. He came to do his regular sweep, and while he
was here he put out some stuff to get rid of those tiny little black ants that
live to find ways into anything sugar. I
have a different sort of bug guy to meet on Friday. The bee guy is making a return
engagement. Those pesky buggers have
returned to the same place they were last year.
We also
helped the Alvin hurricane relief ministry team to load up for their last
weekly trip to provide hot meals and supplies.
It was kind of a bittersweet moment for them, as they have made some
really good connections with those folks.
They have plans to return on Thanksgiving and around Christmas. After they left we did some rearranging of the
remaining supplies to make more room for worship and for the upcoming Bethlehem
Street Market. The Seaside building, at
least, is slowly returning to normal.
Just in time for the craziness of the holidays to come.

John 4:16 says, “God is love. Whoever
lives in love lives in God, and God in him.”
Father,
thank you for that Alvin ministry team.
Bless them for their efforts at ministry. Amen.
