The Dream of a King 'Bout to Unfold

Since Sarah took one of her titles as a continuation of mine, I'll use this post to return the favor.

Today was so crazy that I didn't have enough time to at least start packing for the Chicago Trip.
I was the chauffeur for my mom and brother as I took them and picked them up from work and baseball camp respectively. I needed to get a few last minute clothing items for Chicago, so I stopped by the store. My mom noticed that my right eye was still very red and irritated, so she called the eye doctor. He was out of the office, so they referred me to a doctor in North Muskegon. She examined my eye and told me that when I accidentally slept in it Wednesday night, I allowed my eye to be open to bacteria that caused an infection. She wrote me a prescription, and my eye is already feeling better. I'm not supposed to wear any contacts for at least a week, so it'll be glasses in Chicago.

After the eye doctor, we picked up dry cleaning, grabbed dinner for myself and my brother, picked him up for his ball game, and dropped him off.

His game went very well. His team during the regular season was 6th place out of 7 teams, but in the playoff tournament, his team beat 3rd place, 2nd place, and 5th place today to win the league title. Who would have thought that a team sponsored by Shoreline Allergy could win a championship???

I'm very excited about the trip to Chicago. I'm praying that this trip will be very formative in our lives and very beneficial in many ways to the lives of the people we come in contact with.

It's strange to think that the conditions we're going to be dealing with are only a mere 3 hours away, and I'm sure that similar things are right in our backyards.

If you're one of the readers that is not going to Chicago with us, I'd appreciate it if you'd pray for our team when you are reminded. There are going to be quite a few uncomfortable situations for us.

Well, I've got to get some sleep now.

God bless.

Funny, I was debating whether to use your title or the line I chose for my parentheses. Too bad about your eye. On a positive note, glasses are always easier to deal with on trips.

Tomorrow's the day! Better start packing. I'm so excited! See you then!

Whoa, I caught your comment right after it happened.

I've already got the packing half-way done. I'm off to Emily Coffey's Open House in a little bit, then I'll finish up.

Hasta manana.
Does anyone know how to put the little ~ over the n?

Andrew: To make the ñ you hold down alt and press 0241 on your keypad. Then let go alt and presto!

I really didn't believe that a baseball team in 6th place out of 7 teams could do it. That must have been amazing. The sense of being so happy for your little brother.I still feel sorry for your eye. hope it feels better good luck on the inner-city Chicago trip
