Today is the last day of August and it has been a month of travel. We left Livonia on August 5th and drove for two days to Brownwood, Texas where we stayed with our daughter Julie and her husband Josh and our first grandchild, Michaela. We had a fun time needless to say. We made quick trip to Lubbock to see my Aunt Dickie and her family. Then on August 13th we moved Matthew into the dorms at Abilene Christian University. He is now a student there and having a great time as of our last report. I think he will do well and he seems to be enjoying his classes so far. We got to see my cousin Tim Stephens as he entered his daughter, Kaila, in ACU. I hadn't seem Tim in years and years and Kaila since she was a baby.
On our trip home we went through Memphis and stayed with Evertt and Ilene Huffard. Our friendship is many years old and it is always a joy to be with them. We also got to seen Dr. Jack Lewis and Annie May while we were there. They had a profound influence on us while at Harding University Graduate School of Religion many years ago.
We made it back to Livonia on Friday the 19th but I had Sunday off as the Livonia Honduras mission team gave their report. We then left the following Wednesday for Portland, Oregon where I performed the wedding for my niece on Saturday the 27th. Diane and I were able to visit with my Mom, sister and brother as well as other relatives and friends. Dean and Karen Moyer hosted us and that was a lot of fun. Dean and I were in the same high school class and have stayed in contact over the years. Not only did they give us a place to stay but they loaned us a car to use while we were there. What a blessing that was!
We are home and broke but thankful for safety in all our travels and the chance to see so many people these past few weeks. God is good!
