A Good Peach Milkshake

I went walking Saturday evening after supper. I haven't walked for a few weeks. Boy, was it hot! So, off to the Sonic we went. On the way to Sonic, we were almost in one ugly wreck! I was waiting for a car to pass so I could turn left at the light. Out of nowhere a black truck flashed before my eyes! Someone ran the red light and about took us out. I have heard people say "They never saw it coming" now I understand how that could happen. I don't know how that truck missed hitting us. I just set there in the middle of the intersection wondering what had just happened. After I got my breath we continued to Sonic.

The peach milkshake was almost worth the trip.

I'm Back!

I have been busy lately and haven't had the time or energy to write. I've have a boat load of experiences to share but no time to do it.

I was in Alaska on a mission trip and from June 6 through the 15. We spend 33 hours getting home from Nikiski, Alaska. Arriving in Greenville at 12:30 AM on the 16th.

Amanda came home on the 15th. We have been working to get her ready to leave for L.A. on Thursday the 19th. My men's softball team had two games on Tuesday. I have been in the office, sang at a funeral, visited the hospitals, and had rehearsals.

Amanda left for L.A. on Thursday morning (after I went to the Jeep dealership to get a tail light assembly for her car and put it on). She has moved out there to pursue here acting dreams. Please pray for her and us!

Traveling , car problems , no sleep, saying goodbye to our baby, losing to the other Brushy Creek softball team, on top of all that Jason has been real sick. All this is enough to make you not feel like writing.

For the thousands (or 4) who look forward each day to see what is going on with Me , I'm Back!!!

I'm back to walking

I have started walking again but I wonder if walking helps with weight loss? If you walk 3 miles and need a slushy from the 'Sonic' to cool you down is that bad?

I think walking is more about stress release, enjoying what the neighbors are doing or building, showing off new shoes, or fellowship, if you are walking with friends. Walking with friends is probably the best way to walk. You get to learn about their work , family or what their neighbors are doing (sounds a little like gossip).

It is good to have others to keep you accountable. Walking or dieting, it helps to have someone else involved with you in the process. It is good to have someone else to walk with because carpooling to the 'Sonic' saves gas!

What a guitarist!

We had Rodrigo Rodriguez play guitar for us this past Sunday at Brushy Creek. He was fabulous!
Every note was pure, and played with ease and grace. It was truly a worship service. God has blessed our new friend Rodrigo. I look forward to having him back again for a full service.

He mentioned that he and his wife Mary had three children. One in California, one in Florida and one here in Greer. I was feeling bad that his family was so spread out when I remembered that our son Brian and his wife Keri are living in Florida and Amanda is moving to California this month. Sounds like another blog coming!
