Grand Adventures

Sometimes we enter our adventures from human error or lack of knowledge, thus it began of our own volition. Other times we enter on our adventures from an outside source, as when we get lost because someone gives us the wrong directions. But grand adventures just happen. We don’t need to carry guilt or blame to please others.

When you begin a grand adventure, you rarely know the exact route you’ll take or even your destination. All you know is you’ve begun—and you’re never alone.

As you may know, in February I plastered my face on a gym floor, giving myself a traumatic brain injury, a couple of brain bleeds, two broken ribs, a broken sternum, and a muscle completely torn in two in my back. I hope my granddaughter suffers no long-term effects of having her volleyball tournament shut down because of my accident.

FINALLY, this coming Tuesday, I will be at Advent Hospital to repair all those little indiscretions. I feel very good about next week, but I would also love to know you are praying for me. Maybe we could all be praying that this won’t be too much of an adventure for the medical staff.

We are all on a journey.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.
— Proverbs 3: 5-6

Happy August!
