Thanksgiving Break

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone. I love Thanksgiving. Lots of good food and lots of football. I missed most of the Cowboys game because I had something more important to do...my son's last march in.

I know, I know, there's Parent's weekend and Final Review, but this was last one for a football game. It's still hard to put into words what I feel when I see my oldest son in his dress uniform, boots and senior ring on his finger. It really seems like yesterday that we took him to College Station for his Gateway summer. He's definitely had his ups and downs, but thru it all my little boy has grown into a man. I cherish every moment I get with him because I see a little more each time he's home that he's moving into his own life. That point in time when we aren't the most important part of his life. I have said many times before that I will be the absolute worst parent when comes to letting go of my kids. I don't know why its so hard to let go. My kids are really good kids despite their dad. I know that my kids are the kind of kids who will make a difference in this world. I will continue to struggle with my kids growing up and moving on I just hope and pray that they don't forget me.

God at work

So, I had to go take the Santa Fe to get the oil changed today. While I was sitting in the waiting room, I witnessed God at work. Two gentlemen were in a discussion about their respective churches and one of them questioned the Baptist doctrine. Low and behold, the other man just happened to be a Baptist minister and just happened to have a copy of the doctrine in his pocket. He told me later, that his pastor had just given him that copy and he brought it on his trip to have something to read. He very graciously shared with the man and actually pulled out his IPhone and referenced his online Bible. After the first gentleman left, the other man said, "I knew God wanted me here today." Seems that he was on his way from Baton Rouge to El Paso and his check engine light came on. He decided to get it checked out before pressing on to El Paso. What was interesting was that the Hyundai people couldn't find anything wrong with his car! Isn't it cool how God works?
