Well,
our friends returned to the confines of far-away Texas yesterday. They did stop by on their way out of town to
say good-bye, and let us all sing Happy Birthday to Kay Lynn one last time. Or was it two last times? Three?
That gave Chris a chance to gift them with an armful of plant stuff from
our flower beds. I also gave them each a
copy of my Visual Verses book as a thank you for including us in the weekend
and in the plans to attempt this Alaska cruise thing next year. The more research that goes into trip
planning, however, the more I think we should have started last year. It’s going to take a long time and a lot of
belt-tightening to save up enough money to make it happen. Oh, well … here goes …
The
rest of our Monday/workday was consumed, as usual, with computer time, getting
started on a sermon and home group study and an article for the church website. Still a long way to go on that end, plus I
have to put together the discernment update booklet for Sunday as well. Freddy has a vet follow-up appointment this
morning, and we have to pick up Cailyn this afternoon. Freddy is fine. She had an ear infection, so this is just the
check-up for the vet to make sure it’s gone.
Cailyn is fine, too. Apparently
she just filed a formal request with her female parental unit that we be the
ones to pick her up from school today. What can I say? She hasn’t seen us all weekend, so she doesn’t
want to forget what we look like. Or
maybe it’s that she doesn’t want us to forget what she look like. One of those must be right.
Last night
we went to a couple of baseball games.
Jachin and Josiah both had games at 6:00, and Micah followed with a game
at 7:45. I went to Jachin’s and Chris
took in Josiah’s. Then we met back up at
Micah’s. They did pretty well. Jachin came in as a relief pitcher in the top
of the first inning after their starting pitcher never threw a single
strike. Jachin did much better than that. He threw a lot of strikes, but he didn’t receive
much fielding support from his team. The
score was a bit lopsided, but all the damage was done early, and the team did finally
settle down and play a pretty decent game.
Josiah’s team came through with flying colors. He got a few hits and made several putouts
against the team they were not at all happy to be up against. Micah let his coach know earlier in the week
that he knew how to play the catcher position, so last night was his debut there. And he did an excellent job. He walked a few times and scored as
well. So, nice job all around for the Vaughan
boys last night. I know Caleb has started
games up in Waco, and I think Cailyn had a game last night as well, but I haven’t
received reports as yet from out on site correspondents. But whatever happened … know that DadDad, for
one, is proud of you all.
Hebrews
2:1 says, “We must pay more careful
attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.”
Father, thank you for a weekend filled with friends and great worship. Thank you for a new week filled with grandkids and baseball. Nice. Amen.
