Josh and his crew had a late breakfast, and then hit the road for Waco. Apparently they were more than just a Buc-ees level hungry whey they got on the road, though. they ended up stopping at a Gringo’s for some Mexican food. They did make it home safely.
Later in the afternoon we became long-distance
carhops. We took Kel a cherry limeade
slush from Sonic. Of course I told him
it was because I had to take care of my staff members. Actually, Christina texted Chris with the
idea/request. But, hey, I got a cherry
limeade slush out of the deal as well.
That was pretty much the extent of our
activity. I tried doing some computer
work. But I just couldn’t stay awake, much less concentrate. I guess I was more tired from the events of
late last week than I thought. Funerals
are always rough anyway. But this one involved
one of my guys – a fire fighter – who also was one of Nathan’s closest friends
and had become a friend to me as well.
Kind of a triple whammy stress effect. Then right on the heels of that came the 25th
anniversary celebration at Seaside. Don’t
get me wrong, I loved it. It was so good
seeing all the folks from Seaside’s past.
But it was a Sunday. I did have a
teaching to present. And we had to get
everything set up. And taken down. There is such a thing as good stress. The situation is certainly positive, but the
stress is just as real.
Anyway, all that to say simply … I was tired. Still am, a little. But now it’s time to get to work. Here we go …
Psalms 103:19 says, “The
Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.”
Father, I do thank you for all the incredibly positive
things that happened thus past weekend, from the amazing show of love for Matt
to the mass of people who showed up to acknowledge the role Seaside has played
in their lives. Amen.
