We took another road trip yesterday. Well, not anything new and glamorous. We went to Waco. Hey. High school football is alive and well. And we have two grandsons playing six man football right now. Luke is on the junior high team and Caleb is on varsity. That style of football is high-scoring and incredibly exciting. Not to mention we have someone in particular to root for. Not exactly Friday Night Lights, though. So … Saturday Afternoon Sweats it is. Go Skyhawks!
We made it to Buc-ees just in time for lunch. As it turned out, we got there at just the right time. A high school football team from somewhere (The Vikings) and their entourage were everywhere in the store. But by the time we got out of the bathroom, they were all outside, taking a group photo surrounding the big ol’ Bucee statue outside.
We finished our meal in the parking lot, then hopped back on the road toward Waco. Not a whole lot of traffic, so we made pretty good time. We did have to get gas as soon as we got to Waco. $3.93 a gallon. Ouch.
Nobody was home except for Maddie Belle when we arrived. She was very kind when I came through the gate. Didn’t even bark. She just led me to the back door, then strolled back over to her dog door and went inside. Good greetin’, there, MaddieBelle.
Zak and Lindsay came over to do some laundry. Actually she pretty much just dropped him off and headed to work, so Zak got to play Mr. Mom. By the end of the night Zak and Luke were playing football in the living room as we watched the University of Houston vs Texas Tech football game.
Proverbs 3:7 says, Don’t be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
Father, watch over the guys playing football in the heat today. Amen.
