Home sweet home

Great idea Adam! As I said yesterday, it was his idea to ride the bikes down to the reunion this weekend and the trip was fantastic! It was really nice to see all of the family and catch up on all that has happened since last summer and of course, the ride down and back was just the icing on the cake.

We woke up this morning to the weather channel calling for 80% chance of rain today and Adam was quick to point out the fact that translated to a 20% chance of sun. How true, how true! WE said our good-byes and turned toward home. All along the way, we once again watched as the clouds moved around us so the darkest ones were to the north or the south, very seldom were they overhead. Bottom line? We only had a couple of sprinkles spit on us a couple times. There were some stretches were the road was wet but we missed all the big rain. Thank you, Lord!!!

Tomorrow it is back to work with the kids - band camp begins which means all my play time has come to a close (at least for the near future). We tend to work hard, but it really pays off for the kids as they consitently put together great shows. This year, they should once again prove to be very entertaining. Of course, they are a bunch of characters so entertaining might be an understatement!

But always in the back of my mind is the Great Adventure. It doesn't help that I set this picture as the desktop on my computer which just happens to be one of the pictures Dawn took from the back seat while we were riding around Crater Lake, Oregon. So many pictures and so little time to show them all! OH WHAT A TRIP! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BLESSING!!!!

I pray that the Lord will richly bless you as well. Life is not always filled with sunshine, but the promise is that that Son will shine in your life as long as you will let him! (Son-shine! Get it?!) That is when blessings really abound.

Have a great day!
