November 19 - “And … even further…”


We left Waco a little early yesterday. A little after 8, I think. We wanted to get ahead of the oncoming rain. 


I got to see Josh as he departed for his early morning breakfast appointment. And we saw Christi as we were loading up the car. All of the kiddos were sound asleep, though. And we wanted no part in disturbing sound slumber. 


We stopped for a quick breakfast on our way out of town. McDonald’s. Hey. They do have decent breakfasts. Speaking of quick stops, we did our usual Buc-ees bathroom and gas stop further down the road. 


And … even further down the road, we stopped at an AAA office (Hmm … a or an in that usage situation?). We picked up some road maps for our upcoming Spring Training journey in March. 


And … even further down the road, we stopped at the outlet malls. Chris is looking for a very specific pair of tennis shoes. Made by Sketchers. Size 6.5. Not white or pink or purple. Preferably the dark colors - gray, black, etc. not an easy find. They didn’t have them either. Still searching. 


And … even further down the road,  we stopped yet again. This time it Randall’s. They had frying oil on sale (for the Thanksgiving turkeys!). And since we ended up spending more than $75 (a few other things made their way into the basket), we got another turkey free. Plan is to fry nine of them next week. Whew! 


We finally got back home a little after three. Corey brought Freddy over and even helped us with the unloading. Thanks, neighbor!  


Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭9‬ ‭ says, The peacemakers are blessed, for they will be called sons of God.


Father, thanks for our safe trip home. Good to be here. Amen.
