Trip to Aggieland and another excellent Sunday in church

After work this past Thursday evening I had the opportunity to go visit Adam in College Station. It's just a little over 2 hours from Ennis so it was a fairly easy evening drive. We went out to eat at Fish Daddy's, a local place specializing in--guess what?--BBQ! No, they do fish and do it well and at a reasonable price. Afterward we just relaxed at his place and watched some football. On Friday morning Adam took me to work out with him and his boss at the Texas
A & M football players training facility. It's pretty impressive. Many of the players were there...those are some big ol' boys! In the afternoon Adam toured me around the new renovations at the Association of Former Students where he works. It is all first-class. In the evening we went to a German restaurant in Bryan. According to Adam, the dishes were very authentic. He should know after spending 6 weeks in Germany last summer. It was really good, particularly the sauerkraut. Saturday was chore day as I had taken my dirty laundry to do at his house. That's a switch, isn't it...the parent bringing the dirty laundry home? Anyway, I was glad to get it done. Adam and I ran around town doing errands and in the evening, he grilled us some excellent pork chops. It was a great visit all the way around. As I drove back to Ennis between Hearne and Buffalo on Hwy. 79, it was an hour or so before dark and I saw deer in two places and a coyote standing on an abandoned railroad track. Pretty neat!

God is continuing to bless us and encourage us in the work with the church family at Ennis. We had very good attendance yesterday, an excellent adult Bible class and morning worship assembly, and we had at least ten adult visitors from the local area including one former deacon and his family. Everyone in the congregation seems to be excited and upbeat as we see things moving in positive directions again. God is good!

Praise the Lord! O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever! (Psalm 106:1)
