Here’s one for you early risers out there. We stayed in a hotel in San Marcos after the game. Really nice Hampton Inn, by the way. But we really wanted to hear Kenny Humphries preach at Seaside. That meant an early start. No. I mean a really early start. Like … wake up at 5 a.m. early start. Not on Chris’ list of favorite things to do.
However, she was up and - well, not exactly “at ‘em” but up nonetheless. We didn’t hit our target departure time of 6, though. More like 6:30, but it was still dark out. I was proud of her. Of course the darkness meant that I had the first leg of the journey. And we were off.
By first leg I mean about 30 minutes or so. That got us to the intersection of I10 in Lulling, and our switch drivers point - otherwise known as … Buc-ees. Perfect place to grab one of their world famous bacon, egg, and chutes biscuits. Chris got the sausage version and we traded top layers. My cheese and eggs for her sausage and eggs. Best biscuits ever. Way better than McDonald’s. We did switch drivers again at the Buc-ees in Katy, and I drove the rest of the way to Seaside.
The way home was a LOT easier than the way there. We made it from San Marcos to Seaside in right at 4 hours (with two rather than the usual one stop at Buc-ees). That’s rather than the 5 hours it took to get there.
Our Alaska missionary Kenny did a great job preaching, and his wife Lauren grasped everyone’s attention with her storytelling. She credited Chris with teaching her hospitality, and from what I have gathered, she has quite the gift of hospitality in her own right. Love those two.
Matthew 24:42 says, Therefore be alert, since you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.
Father, thanks for the safe trip home. Thanks for the rain, but more so … thanks for holding it off while we we’re driving. Amen.
