Thanksgiving Road Trip "Top Ten"

10. Teamwork – Judy is driving and I am studying for the first part of this trip. What a blessing!

9. Unshaven – Going unshaven today for a change. Told Judy it was the “year of jubilee” principle. Feels pretty good! She doesn’t think so. Guess I’m shaving tomorrow.

8. Clutter – Passing through a tiny southern Indiana town, we saw a furniture shop with its front porch covered with furniture; the chairs, hutches, headboards, chest of drawers, and dressers looked like sardines in a can. Major clutter! I’m going to write more on this topic when my life is less cluttered.

7. Sharing/Math – I open the Zip-lock bag and quickly popped three dried apricots into my mouth. “There are 16 apricots in there. That is 8 apiece, and I expect them to be there.” Rats, she counted!

6. Family Matters! – Grateful to have time with those we love.

5. Shining Stars – Jupiter and Venus dominated the southern sky tonight. Their lights were bright, just like followers of Jesus (Philippians 2:14-15).

4. Gluttony – Judy read an article stating that the average American consumes 7,100 calories at the Thanksgiving meal. Wow! We ate too much, but it sure tasted good!

3. Blue Sky – A blue sky is behind the dark clouds today. There is something profound in that statement.

2. Prayer is Powerful – So grateful for the privilege of praying together; have seen God do some incredible things.

1. Faith & Family – It doesn’t get any stronger than that!
