We visited Cindy's Uncle Delwin Thompson (age 88) in Texas these past 9 days. Uncle Del is Cindy's father's brother, and he gave her away at our wedding in 1975, since Cindy's father had passed away the year before. We've visited off and on over the years and taken family trips together to Branson, Galveston and San Antonio. Cindy's sister Connie from Colorado and her daughter Gennie and granddaughter Annie came, as well as her sister Cathi from Florida. We had a nderful reunion which culminated with the baptism by Uncle Del of 16-month old Annie and Cindy's sister Cathi. It was a truly special time.
We also visited Uncle Del's church, Lake Livingston Luthern Church, which was a beautiful experience. Very friendly and loving group of people; Pastor Sharon Kapsch was a wonderful and powerful minister of the word; prayer for members of the congregation and to top it off. . . a special dinner in honor of my uncle. This church really loves Jesus and reaches out to the poor, needy, broken hearted, and imprisoned with their time and finances. If you are ever in Onalaska, TX, visit this fantastic place.
It was a great time, but glad to be back home. Our watermelon went from the size of a walnut to the size of a cantaloupe in the short time we were gone! Awesome! It was a lot colder when we got back also! We like that. Texas was rainy on some days, but mostly hot and muggy . . and buggy!
That's it for now. More. . . later. God bless you all!
