Spent last weekend driving all over Michigan. Drove across to Grand Rapids to help my daughter move in to her housing for school this fall. She had a day off. We met with her in the morning, had lunch, drove out to Lake Michigan to walk the beach, drove back, had dinner and said goodnight. Whew. It went fast.
I’m extremely proud of her. She went on her first mission trip when she was in the 8th or 9th grade. and has been on some sort of mission trip every year since. Following her first trip, she volunteered at a youth camp in Central Michigan and has done so ever summer since. Last year she worked the summer as a counselor, and this year she is an Area Director at the camp, overseeing 10 or 12 counselors. She’s majoring in sociology with a minor in non-profit business administration and will graduate next spring. She doesn’t know the details, but she knows what she’s here for.
Stayed at a hotel in Grand Rapids that night, got up and drove to Mount Pleasant to attend a graduation party for our soon-to-be son-in-law of my older daughter. Got to meet a bunch of his family and had some great pulled pork and other goodies.
My wife was good enough to drive home, as I was tapped out.
The most entertaining part of the weekend was the fact that we brought our dog. His name is Mozart and I think he is used to driving in the car, only when he has a vet or groomer appointment, neither of which he particularly enjoys. This resulted in a demeanor, for most of the first part of the journey, that could best be described as nervous anxiety.
He did fine, though, and we’re all back home safe and on with our routines.
Blessings,
Tim
