Just so you know, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth. My brother-in-law and his wife and two daughters have been in town and staying with us for the last two weeks. Its been great having them and we have spent many nights talking about the Bible, ministry, great movies, and life (not in that order). Well, tonight is their last night with us and I will miss having them around. There are challenges to having an entire additional family living in the same house,
but Stephanie and I both want large families, so the benefits far out way the challenges. I will miss those long debates. I will miss watching Zander play with his cousins. We really enjoyed having them as our guests. Anyway – I haven’t posted in a while and I wanted to drop a line saying I’m still here… consider this line dro…….
Stephanie and I went to pick up my bike tonight. I was pretty excited to get it back. It has been tuned up and now has a new computer. Stephanie was coming out of Target and I was putting the bike rack on the back of the car. Then out of nowhere – POP! followed by what sounded like Rice Crispy’s Snap, Crackle, Pop.  Small pieces of glass had been thrown in every direction including directly at Stephanie and Zander who were standing directly beside the rear glass at the time.
I looked over and saw the entire rear glass was shattered and the sound of crackling continued. Stephanie called Dianne while I started to pull the rear glass out piece by piece. I had gone back into Target to get a couple of trash bags and a pair of gloves. We both took it in stride but Stephanie was not overjoyed with the situation. I called Safelite AutoGlass – after 8 years as an employee there, I couldn’t call anyone else, even if I’m no longer eligible for the employee discount.
