Still
waiting. No sign of grandchild number
ten, grandson number seven. Well, that’s
easy for me to say. I suppose Christina
might have something else to say about that.
In fact have you seen Christina lately?
She has officially reached the “Incredibly Pregnant” stage. If nothing happens today we are keeping the
rest of her kids tomorrow for her regular doctor’s appointment. Maybe we’ll learn more then. I can’t speak for Christina, but I have a
hunch she’s more than ready.
I
made visits to a few of the fire stations yesterday. I delivered a bag of stuffed animals from
Lifeway Christian Store to each one. In
every case the guys knew exactly what they were going do with them. They have places on the truck, nooks and
crannies, that they stuff the carefully wrapped animals in. Don’t want them to get filthy from flying
around the cab of the truck. At one
station the engine was out doing an inspection, I left the bag with one of the
tower truck guys. At another I was
invited in for a cup of coffee and watched the end of a movie with the
guys. At a third I had to return after a
quick trip to a nearby Dollar Store.
They were out on a call. When they
got back I enjoyed the smells of a tasty lunch being hastily prepared in hopes
that they could eat before any other calls came through. I’ll complete my rounds to the other three
stations on Wednesday when I go up to the church to meet the exterminator and
then stick around to meet Jim for staff meeting. Hope I don’t get the two meetings
confused. I’d hate to have a powerpoint
on roach sprays for the Christmas Eve service.
Well,
we are back in the saddle with water exercise again today. And of course it is 41 degrees outside. Guess I’ll have to put some socks on before I
strap on my sandals today. Here goes …
Ephesians
6:13 says, “Therefore put on the full
armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your
ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”
Father,
once again I find myself asking you to keep those fire fighters safe. I love those guys. Amen.
