Santo, TX

Don't you just love having a great weekend? I had a weekend that made me really happy to be able to go where I want to go when I want to go without really having anyone to answer to about it.

I went to church in Mineral Wells yesterday morning to visit a good friend of mine and his wife that go there. My friend is the youth minister at that church (I seem to have an abundance of friends in youth ministry). Anyway, it was really cool to see my friend lead the congregation in worship - he did a fantastic job - I told him so afterward. While we were worshipping, it dawned on me that we are now at the age where we are part of the church leadership. When did that happen? Wow! After church, we went to an Italian restaurant and then went to my friends' house in Santo, TX. The house is really, really nice and the view...well, it's pretty much just awesome. The house sits on a hill and from the back of the house one can see for miles and miles - it's just beautiful and quiet and peaceful(Why wasn't Sunago there?!?). We spent the afternoon talking about church, worship, friends, and just having a good time. I didn't want to leave, but decided I needed to come back so that I could come to work today.

I will remember yesterday for a long time - it will bring a smile to my face because I cherish the relationship that I have with those friends. It makes me want to visit people more often - so don't be surprised if I give any one of y'all a call and say "hey, I'll be there on ...."

By the way, I rode 37 miles on Saturday. Not too shabby. The Saturday before that, I rode 57 miles - I asked the Lord to come on that day! My training is good and I'm enjoying it. Alright, that's enough for now. Thanks for reading.
