Monday Morning Musings ...

Yesterday was a fun day. Still on vacation. We chose another church plant to visit. It was a little over an hour away back in some familiar territory for us. The church is a video venue that is just a few years old. They are really doing some things really well. Loved the building and was envious of their technology. They also had something I have wished we had for a long time, a section this like a coffee house in the entrance area. Worship was good and I loved a couple of the songs. The message was really good. Then as we were leaving we spotted a couple that we knew. They were in the first church we pastored. It was great to catch up with them and see their kids. It was especially great to see that they are still serving in ministry. It was a very good experience.

Then we traveled to our oldest daughter's and met she and her boyfriend for a round of golf. It was a great time. We didn't play well, but it was fun anyway. We got to know him a little better and it is always great to spend time with our kids.

We made a brief stop at Border's so Jody could buy a book she had been checking out. We went to lunch at a Del Taco. It was our first time at one of those. It was okay, not great but okay. Then we headed back home. We had a very good and fun day.

Vacation is nearly done. It has been great to spend quality time with wife. It has been insightful to visit a couple of churches to be able to worship without worrying about how everything is going. It was great to get some ideas from the churches. We have fished, we have golfed, we have seen all of our kids and grandkids, we have seen some friends from the past and we have taken a lot of naps. All in all this vacation gets a passing grade.
