We started off today at 6:50. I was up to shower and help Jill prepare breakfast for six billets from the Caronport High School choir (they gave a great concert Thursday night).
By 9:00 I had ferried three different groups of high school students to the church. There they got together with the group of 37 people. After a devotional and playing in the gym they were to head off to the swimming pool around 12:30.
Just as they are about to board the bus, one of the students is found on the grass trying to relax. He, along with 2 other students and 3 youth from the area have just been in a vehicle roll over. Some poor judgment got them into the situation. I think only God got them out — judging from the look of the vehicle. Parents came, prayer was offered, and each was checked out to be sure there were no serious injuries. Thankfully they are doing fine — but a wake-up call for sure!
Meanwhile I have checked with my aunt on some storage space we are in need of (a preposition at the end of a sentence — not a good plan!!). I’ll head out tomorrow to get a quick peek at what she has available. I am thankful to God for great relatives!!
And now, I’ve just been out clearing around my sister’s tent trailer parked in our backyard. Just got a call from my niece that they want to pick it up tonight. My sister’s husband and their daughter will arrive in a few minutes.
My wife left me a note at 1:30 as she headed out the door to a weekend retreat with other pastor’s wives. In it she reminded me to eat (Jill, I just finished a great ham sandwich), and mentioned that I didn’t need any more stress in my life.
The day that is!!
