March 30 - “In fast company”

We are well on our way to being ready to leave for Hawaii. How do I know? Chris has officially started placing our travel stuff out on the bed in the blue bedroom. That means packing is imminent.

 

Last night we picked up Noa and drove to Clute, Texas. Cailyn qualified for the district track meet in the 800 meter run. As it turned out, she also ran the third leg of the 400 meter relay. The relay team ran pretty well. Not sure what their place was in the race - 6th I think, but Cailyn certainly held her own. The 800 was right after the relay, so she didn’t have a lot of time to recover. Again, she did well. Finished 5th. We were definitely proud grandparents. She’s ready for soccer to start now. Phew! 

 

On our way out of the stadium I heard someone call out my name. I turned around to see the guy who is now the pole vault coach for the Santa Fe track team. He is also an old-time Seasider from years ago. It was great to see Billy again. Always great to reconnect with Seasiders around the world.

 

Matthew 20:28 says, “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

 

Father, thank you for watching over the youngsters at the meet. And thanks for the hysterical giggles shared by Cailyn and Noa on the way home. Amen.
