A
day spent primarily in the car. It has
been a while. Well, if you don’t count
the other end of the journey, which amounted to essentially the same thing. But at least we were back out on the road, if
only for a few hours.
There
was no excitement of choosing a hotel or deciding which attraction to make a
stop at. Most of those things were
closed anyway. The highlight of the trip
was the stop at Buc-ees to go to the bathroom.
Well, and to grab some prepackaged chicken salad and a box of crackers
for a special, on-the-go lunch. We both
faithfully wore our masks that Chris made.
And we were joined by quite a few people of all ages. Every one of the employees was masked up …
properly. My thoughts on that? “We’re not in WalMart anymore, Toto.”
We
went through a lot of rain the first part of the trip. I understand Galveston was hit pretty hard
while we were away. Waco had some storms
roll through as well. As it turned out,
by the time we hit Buc-ees, the rain had stopped, and we were high and dry the
rest of the way home.
And
speaking of home … it’s good to be here.
Chris said it felt like we had been gone for days. Well, that’s not inaccurate. We were gone for three days. That’s more than one …
Romans
1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of the
gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who
believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.”
Father,
thank you for the chance to start up our journeying again. I’ve missed it. Amen.
