Not Just An Ordinary Day

Five o'clock AM came early this morning! But that was when I needed to leave for Indianapolis if I wanted to catch my early morning flight home to Florida. Instead of taking the interstate, we took every back road in Indiana and passed every corn field known to mankind while we drove in the early morning darkness. I felt like a rat in a maze. Sirius radio (channel 65 bluegrass) played over Bose speakers is the bomb. That will keep you awake for sure. I'll never understand how a plane's equipment has malfunctioned during the night!!! While it sits quietly in the night, something just goes wrong with a piece of equipment. Go figure. That is why my 8:15 flight didn't leave until 11:30 once another plane arrived from Detroit that we could use on down to Orlando. Believe me when I say that once Kim picked me up, it was worth every frustration I had experienced along the way! It feels good to be home for a few days... at least until Thursday morning. I already have so many meetings and things scheduled while I am here, I'm sure the time will pass too quickly.

Tonight we all went to dinner at Bayridge Sushi! The boys are little pigs when it comes to sushi. Even Tate enjoyed tonight's selections. Kim is slowly acquiring a taste for sushi, and that is saying a lot, especially if you know how much she loves Cracker Barrel. Tate wanted his usual ice cream cone from McDonald's on the way home. I have no idea where he had the room to put it. (Most of it is probably in the floorboard of my truck.)

It feels good to be home. The past few days I haven't had a good internet connection so I chose not to blog. Thursday's rehearsal went great (note: earlier blog), and Friday I washed clothes, did the Wal-Mart thing, and did some songwriting. Saturday my buddy picked me up at the Purdue airport and he flew me down to the Indianapolis airshow which was spectacular! He flies his plane better and smoother than I drive my truck. That is the honest truth. We had a great day watching the airshow and sampling the 1,000+ food vendors. I must admit the Texas-style brisket was worth walking down to Indianapolis for. After flying back to Lafayette, I met a friend for some Italian and slept like a baby! Sunday's services were anointed and powerful! It is great to have a game-plan, and even better when those leading the services are Spirit-led, sensitive to God's desire for that particular service, and willing to get out of the way so He can have His way in our lives. After a Sunday of services, multiple delays today, and only four hours of sleep last night, it is time to hit the pillow. I love Florida!
