As I was laying in my bed the other day, I thought about our current series at church, “One Month to Live.” I have been asking myself the question, “What would I do if I had thirty days to live?” As I lay there, I asked myself that question. The answer for that day came quick: “If I had thirty days to live I would go on a field trip with one of my children.

Both of them had field trips today. It worked out that I could go on my daughter’s field trip. Here we are outside the Alamo in San Antonio. After the field trip, we popped over to the San Antonio Zoo and picked up my son who was just finishing up his field trip there. On the way home we stopped by Freddie’s Custard in New Braunfels.

What a great day!

This is a picture of one of the leaders of the Shriners riding in the St. Pat’s day parade a few weeks ago. There were about ten cars with the leaders of the organization in them. They all had weird names like potentate and many others I can’t even remember.

No offense to the Shriners. They do great things for kids. But as I watched them in the parade I couldn’t help but feel a little weird. I think the wierdness I felt was the same weirdness people feel when they think about church… A bunch of words they have never heard of, giving props to people and positions they have never heard of, and a bunch of traditions that no one understands.
