Yesterday was a memorably quiet day for us. We had Hallmark movies going on the TV (most of which we had already seen). Chris did some laundry. I worked on the latest jigsaw puzzle - the one Josh and I started when they were here. And, to keep our tradition alive, Chris actually finished it. I saw this weird fact (and added a few to it).
Check out the dates Chris and I have seen:
5/5/55 - I was a toddling two-
year-old.
6/6/66 - I was an aspiring
shortstop in my last year of
Little League
7/7/77 - I was a recent college
grad, married, dad, youth
pastor at Langwood Baptist
Church in Houston.
8/8/88 - I was a seminary grad,
Minister of Education at South
Oaks Baptist Church in
Arlington
9/9/99 - After a ministry stint in
Denver, I was 4 years into
some on-the-job training as a
pastor at Seaside Church in
Galveston
10/10/10 - 15 years as pastor at
Seaside.
11/11/11 - 3 years post-Hurricane
Ike. Still at Seaside.
12/12/12 - Made it through a
significant rheumatoid arthritis
flareup
2/2/22 - Made it through the
Covid scare to retire from
Seaside after almost 27 years
12/31/23 - I survived major back
surgery with a side of shingles.
Does all that make me old? Nah.
Speaking of Chris, she also made a big pot of soup yesterday. Not for us, though. She took it up to LaMarque to feed Kel and the gang, since Christina is down.
John 15:4-5 says, Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without Me.
Father, please be with Christina. And take care of Kel and the kids as well. Amen.
