March 26 - “…Other Useless Skills”’


We went to breakfast at our usual time. Then we prayer walked another floor of the ship. And when we returned to the room, there was another little critter on our bed. This time it was a sad rat. 


But next to little Ratatouille were two crisp certificates, one with each of our names engraved therein. They were commemorative documents concerning our successful completion of a transatlantic journey from Galveston to Spain. 


Of course, we’re not there yet. But I guess this indicates that the captain feels fairly confident that we will indeed arrive in Spain sometime in the next three or four days. Good to know, Cap. 


We made it early to the Barney Fife session. Got some good aisle seats for this last one. This one was one clip after another of the guy’s favorite moments. Again … really funny stuff. 


From there we made our way to some steps so we could better see the “Let’s Celebrate” parade. They had dressed up dancers and floats all decorated with themes of the different holidays through the year. I was wondering how many of the non-USA staff were involved. One holiday in particular was quite specific to the U.S. - Independence Day. Can you imagine a Brit joining in on that one? Kind of ironic, don’t you think?


The show after dinner was a guy named Randy Cabral. His byline was: Comedy, Juggling, and Other Useless Skills. Love it when these guys are honest.  But let me hasten to say, this was my favorite show of any kind all trip. He was hilarious. He kept the audience engaged from beginning to end. And he was just plain good. So glad we went to that one. 


‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭38‬ says, The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.


Father, be with Joe and his knee, Debra and her foot, and Bruce and Sharon with the business issues they are facing. Amen.
