We got a call from Josh yesterday morning. I had just texted him a little ditty about the two storms converging in the Gulf. He was understandably concerned about the effects of soon-to-be Megastorm Megan on our simple sandbar life here in Galveston. One is supposed to be a tropical storm when it hits. The other may be a full-fledged hurricane. Or both will be hurricanes. Or one or both will peter out. Or they will join forces and become Megastorm Megan. Guess we’ll find out sometime early next week. Stay tuned on Monday or Tuesday …
We
had a visit from the LaMarque crew. They
were supposed to just go to the library, but a minor rebellion occurred. Seems they expected that a stop at Nana and
DadDad’s house was also on the docket.
“What? No Nana and DadDad’s? Then we don’t want to go to the
library.” Mom gave in, so we pulled out
frozen pizza and root beer floats.
Just
as they left, we had to run over and pick up Cailyn from a friend’s house where
she spent the night. Then Chris took her
over to the Middle School to pick up her school issued computer for remote
learning. Classes start Monday. Then Chris took her to the pediatrician’s
office to get the second half of some booster shot. Apparently she handles shots like a
trooper. She was more upset that the
nurse had pinched her so hard than she was at the shot itself. Finally we took her back to her house to get
changed for softball practice. They practice
in Santa Fe, but she already had a ride lined up with a teammate to get
there.
Whew. Now I have to get ready for a wedding tonight
and go over the sermon for tomorrow. Sigh. What better way to begin my 26th year
at Seaside than staying busy in a pandemic …
Hebrews
4:12 says, “For the word of God is living
and active. Sharper than any
double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joint and
marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Father,
please be with us at this wedding tonight.
And we could use some protection next week from those storms. Amen.
