Written by Larry On Tuesday August 28

The road trip magnified the difficulty of achieving victory in the simplest pleasures of life - like finding a position of rest. The fetal position killed my lower back while the more ergonomic upright position left no resting place for my head. But I am thankful for the grace Jane showed by letting an older man sit by the window. I enjoyed her conversation - her head is on right and well even though she couldn't lean it on my window.

Dave, Glen and I ride wild when it comes to coaster rides. Glen is a risk taker here. Dave as usual loves the front row (in more ways than one). He is also a miracle baby in more ways than one.

Psalm 16:11 came to my mind when our bus blew it's hose and we all were hiking north to Canada:
"Lord, Thou wilt make known to us the path them the many fences of the excited States of America.
In Thy prescence is the fullness of trucker's horns apparently enjoying the lost Canadians hike.
At thy right hand is an air-conditioned McDonald's who will not and did not throw us out in spite of exceeding their loitering policy by 4.5 hours."

In the end I concluded this interpretation may be slightly too liberal to MCC and Pastor Con. By the time I reached Mexico the plain truth emerged, "I love you honey and pray for you. I know I'm hard to live without."

Rest well,
Larry
