April 7 – “Exciting. Exciting. Exciting. Not so …”


We finished laying the side-of-the-house patio pavers.  Exciting.  It took all day.  No, really 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Chris unloaded just about every one of those 300+ bricks and hauled them from the truck to the back yard.  Plus she did some other yard work as well.  If my soreness is any indicator, she should be an absolute wreck today.  But then, she is pretty amazing …

Last night we watched the Astros victory while switching back and forth with the NCAA basketball tournament.  Exciting first game.  Virginia was losing by two, but managed to pull it out by one point when a kid was fouled on a 3-point attempt.  He made all three free throws with 1.5 seconds left in the game.  After the Astros game ended we switched full-time to watch Texas Tech play Michigan State.  Tech won, too.  First ever trip to the final game.  Exciting stuff.

So, gotta go.  Today is Triathalon Sunday in Galveston.  That means roads between here and the church will be closed and 3,000 bikers will be, well, everywhere between here and the church.  We are determined to get there early enough to avoid that traffic.  The race is on.  Not so exciting …

Psalms 24:1 says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.”

Father, please keep the Triathalon folks safe today, in the water, on their bikes, and as they run.  Amen.
