So, did anybody get mail yesterday? We got one letter on Monday, but nothing
yesterday. I just read in the newspaper
that mail service is supposed to be up and running again sometime this
week. Hope those of us who still use the
postal service to pay our bills experience understanding …
We had to attack our overgrown lawn
yesterday. It was beginning to get
post-apocalyptic. Well, post-tropical
storm-ic anyway. Our lawn has splotches
of dead spots surrounded by lush St. Augustine surrounded by Bermuda infested
with evil, grow-in-a-circle things with an occasional stickerbur popping up
here and there. Just weird.
After the outdoor workout I spent most of my
day working on the sermon for Sunday.
Chris made a trip to Hobby Lobby.
She is working on another quilt, so she needed some kind of backing
stuff to make it work.
I took a break at one point and took
another look at the baseball cards I got on our last trip. I was able to fill in the blanks on all the
empty spaces of the collector notebook except one. Card number five of the 1989 Topps set. Orel Hersheiser doing some kind of record
breaking event. Anybody have that one
gathering dust around your house? Chris
looked it up. It’s worth a whopping 79
cents. I’ll give you a dollar for
it. We also found a few more of the Biggio
rookie cards, as well as John Smoltz’ rookie card and Randy Johnson’s. Pretty good year for rookies, I guess. Chris was really getting into the process. She was looking everything up on the internet. She found one site that sells cards, but shipping
for one 79 cent card would be in the neighborhood of $10. She even suggested a day trip back to the
antique store in Granbury to see if they had any more cards. Sounds like fun …
2 John 1:6 says, “And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his
command is that you walk in love.”
Father, obeying because we love sure sounds
easier than obeying because we have to.
Thanks for challenging us to do it that way. Amen.
