Thinking about a drive across the country

We are in the process of moving from the west coast to the east coast–Oregon to North Carolina.  Last night was our last Wednesday night bible study at Truman and Elinore, our Alaskan friends’ house.  The study was James 1 and the theme of the evening was patience.  We have loved being in that meeting for the short time it has been there and it could not have ended with a nicer meeting.  After the meeting, Truman and Elinore explained how much they loved doing cross-country drives.  It was a nostalgic moment because Elinore is now in a wheelchair and it makes those kind of trips very difficult.  They are amazing people nonetheless.  Even though they do not do cross country drives anymore, they go to plays, concerts, dinners, visits, shopping, site-seeing, and a plethora of other engagements.  And the best part about them is they are ALWAYS cheerful.  What a lesson for my family.  What a lesson for me.

I am really looking forward to my drive across the country now.
