Airports

The house is emptying out slowly but surely. First, Spencer woke up and we talked while he dressed for school and made it to the bus stop. Next, Tate came into the living room, ready for action, and determined to ride the bus to school today for the first time. (He rode the bus home yesterday for the first time.) Colton is still asleep and will wake up at the very last minute possible to make it in time for his bus stop. Teenagers! Then Kim will take me to the airport and I will get back into this only-for-a-season routine that I've developed over the summer. I can't wait to get back home for good. While, I've seen wonderful results from traveling this summer and experienced some great things, there is no place like home. I miss the family. Kim has done so well with things in my absence. She is the rock of our family. We had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed some family time together last night. She is taking the day off today and catching up on some things around the house.

I am flying American airlines today back to Indianapolis going through St. Louis, and should arrive at 3:15 in the afternoon. I hope I make it on time since I have a rehearsal tonight. I'd better get to moving...

I made it from the curbside to the gate in 7 minutes thanks to my Fly Clear card that gets me through security lines without having to wait. I made it to St. Louis and enjoyed lunch at Chili's before boarding a very small jet headed for Indianapolis. A ginger ale and a bag of peanuts later, we landed safely in Indianapolis, where the pastor and his grandson picked me up. We drove straight to Lafayette, and I sit here now watching the local news and typing the blog. Technology is awesome... when everything works right! I am rehearsing tonight with the praise and worship team, choir, and an all-male quartet. How many churches have a quartet that sings on a regular basis?
