The National Baseball Hall of Fame was unforgettable if you are a baseball fan. Much too much to write about here, but one quick story. God gave us wonderful favor with one of the curators of the "Hall". We had heard that the new Buck O'Neil statue was being unveiled sometime that week, and then learned we would miss it by one day. Well, since we were from KC they had pity on us and took us downstairs into the basement of the museum (artifacts and stuff everywhere--incredible!). There we got to see the statue before it was displayed. What a special moment.
Drove to Poughkeepsie, NY that night so we could tour West Point Military Academy on Friday. For a history buff like me, West Point was beyond words. The campus is beautiful and we were blessed to see a graduating class ceremony.
Friday night we were at Shea Stadium in Queens, NY to see our Cardinals lose to the Mets. If you're keeping score at home, I've attended 3 Cardinal games this year and they have lost all 3. Maybe I should just stay away. The next day we headed back to Philadelphia, flew to St. Louis, and drove to KC. Whew. Good thing we had a guest speaker the next morning!
I share these moments with you not to boast or brag. But to allow you to see that God is at the center of our family, and He can be the center of yours too. We work hard at being a Christ-centered family and are far from perfect. But I hope you are blessed by these little glimpses into our family life. Here are some more pictures:
