Sing along with the Great Adventure.
This morning I’m off on an adventure. My grandson and I are headed up to Hot Springs, Arkansas for the Sunbelt Tournament. Win or lose, we will stay until Wednesday hopefully watching basketball and having fun. Trips, large and small, have been an adventure for me since I was a child. Our family didn’t travel much. We had 9 kids and, for much of my childhood, no car. But my godmother would take us on great trips. I remember going to Colorado, Mexico and Tennessee. I remember the adventure started days before the trip with packing, buying clothes and general anticipation. It was great fun to see new places and to do something different from the daily routine. This adventure started the same. I didn’t even sleep very well last night in anticipation.
I think the life of a Christian was meant to be an adventure. Jesus certainly was one to travel and to live every day to the fullest and with much adventure. The mundane course of most lives isn’t the natural way. We fall into routines because they are safe and require little faith or imagination. We should awaken each morning thinking, “What’s happening today?”
I pray that we will make some memories and have some fun, do some bonding and build something that will last a lifetime.
In 24 hours, I’ll let you know how it’s going.
Be blessed.
Nick
