Day 6 30 Day Photo Challenge: windy

My wife and I freezing at a baseball game on a windy spring afternoon.

Good morning! May you do something that brings you joy today. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing πŸ“·

The #OldGal popped a 4 and decimated me. I am happy the streak lives. Hopefully a #YoungPup or two can score a 3 today.


As the old man drove, he smiled. He glanced over at the boy who had long ago become a man. They pulled off the main road and he pulled the Jeep to their spot. He glanced into back seat and saw the case.

The old man smiled again.

They were in the old man’s Jeep and pulled up to the squawk box, β€œTwo large fries and two chocolate shakes. And yes, that completes my #order.” (He grinned as he said the last bit.)

β€œSorry sir, the ice cream machine is broken.”

β€œAgain?”

β€œSo just two fries?”

β€œAnd Cokes.”

I am still so excited about the way things are now organized with The Pastor Next Door. Setting up a homepage with subdomains to longer pieces each with their own newsletters really has made things simpler and clearer.


He thumped down the steps to the basement and began frantically searching the boxes. His body started getting hot and the sweat began to bead on his forehead. He slumped next the post and felt the cold concrete floor. Then his mind drifted to the final #drive with the old man.

He moved past her like he was in a #trance. His mind was spinning. The words would be all wrong if he tried to talk. If only he could put his hands on that book. It was the book his father had given to him all those years ago. It would have the words.

It was though he was looking through her. She knew him almost as well as he knew himself. From the moment they had met their souls had fit together like hand and #glove. No matter the decision, there was no doubt in her mind they would walk through the storm together.

How could something so #simple be so difficult? All that had to be done was to say the words. Those words were stuck in his throat like saltines on a hot day.
