We have decided to run up to the workday to help get ready for our annual church convention at a little town called Shelby. Shelby is a little over three hours from where we live, but an old friend who lives a little over half way there asked us to stay with her. She married a fellow from North Carolina, but had gone out to Oregon last year to one of our conventions there with their three children. We had gotten reacquainted even though we had no idea at the time that we would be moving east. Terrie’s kids are close in age to Kelly and Christian so we are very much looking forward to having some time with them as we help out at the convention grounds. We are going to try to get to the workday at the other convention in Denton, too. Denton is a lot closer to where we live–only about an hour and a half away.
