March 22 – “Bring on the moose”

We started the day with a visit to the hospital.  Our neighbor across the street, young Brennan was having a minor procedure done (Not minor to the one having it done TO, mind you).  We joined Mom and Dad and two Grandmas.  We all had prayer together before they came to get him.  He went to sleep and woke up hours later with everything (and then some) all taken care of.  He’ll be sore for four or five days, but Brennan is a real trooper.  He’ll be back on the baseball field before you know it. 

Mail call was our second big event of the day.  The final bill arrived for our trip to Alaska this summer.  Quite a hefty chunk of change, but we have been saving (and receiving lots of help) for this trip for years now.  We just need to transfer the money from savings to checking, get the check in the mail, and we are good to go.  There will be a few more expenditures here and there, but the bulk of financial burden is behind us.  Bring on the moose.

I did end up having a late night last night.  Not Chris.  She went on to bed.  But I was transfixed by the Baylor vs. Syracuse basketball game.  The two teams almost beat the record for most three-pointers made in one tournament game.  The score see-sawed back and forth through the entire game.  Baylor’s point guard played with an injury.  Toe injury.  Hey, that can really hurt.  But in the end Baylor won the game.  And with the victory comes the right to play a second round against none other than Gonzaga.  Lots of luck in that one, Bears. 

2 Samuel 7:22 says, “How great you are, Sovereign Lord!  There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.”

Father, thank you for the good report from Brennan’s surgery.  Help him to have patience now with his recovery.  Amen.
