June 14 - “Searching for regalia”

I walked a 2-miler with Chris. It was an interesting experience to do the walk on foreign turf, so to speak. Actually the walk was somewhat less than the full two miles. To compensate, we added more steps by trudging to the end of the street a time or two to get those extra tenths. 

Have you ever been a spectator to an actual movie being filmed? We were so privileged to watch as Luke and AnnaGrace filmed a movie. It had their own plot and everything. We all then gathered around Christi’s phone to watch the finished product. Superstars in the making, for sure. And then we got to hang out with those stars while Christi went to HEB for some groceries. 

Christi took us up to the church to search out their costume closet for appropriate regalia for the four different roles I will be playing  next week at children’s camp.  The so-called “closet” was more like a suite of five rooms. It was While there rummaging through robes and crowns and swords and staffs that Josh realized the need for a fourth lesson. We were confused by the fact that there are only three small group Bible Study times. We all brainstormed and came up with a pretty good idea. To Josiah and Nehemiah and Peter, we added Lazarus. They each fit the topics Foundations, Framing, Finishing, and Future. It does seem that interesting worship sessions are afoot. 

We all took MaddieBelle for a walk after supper (really good chicken Alfredo by Christi). I had a frozen lemonade for dessert. Again, thank you Christi. When we got back, Chris and I took up our ringside seats for a rousing family basketball game. Josh and Luke vs. Caleb and Zak. Nobody held back, either. Fun game. 

We all crashed in front of the TV for the NBA finals basketball game. I had no stake or interest in the affair, but t try he boys sure did. You would think they had a bet riding on its conclusion. Great fun watching them watching. Meanwhile, I quietly kept track of the Astros game on my phone. Sadly, the bad guys picked up a win in that one. Maybe tonight things will turn around. Or better yet, Wednesday afternoon when we are actually in the stands …

1 Chronicles 16:34 says, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”

Father, thank you for days of random family fun. Amen.
