ROAD TRIP REDUX
Seeing your grandchild baptized & getting together with all your children & grandchildren a week ago Sunday was an incomparable experience. While we were in Minnesota [We just got back on Saturday.], we did lots of bonding with the grandkids.- We got to hold Clair Beverly, born on Jan. 13, many times.
- I got to watch Paw Patrol & PJ Masks with Calvin, also many times.
- I also got to share a bowl of cheese popcorn with Calvin every afternoon.
- We--& by "we" I mean "Lois"--got to cook for Nathan, Laura, & Calvin several times.
- We arrived on a Thursday, just as Laura was getting ready to take Calvin to the doctor. Lois jumped in their minivan just in time to keep an eye on Claire. Calvin had an ear infection & Influenza B. [None of us have come down with it.]
- Lois & I got to each lunch at Mall of America & watch 1917. I would enthusiastically recommend this movie, but it is very intense at times.
RESOLUTIONS CHECK

THOUGHT FOR TODAY Part 1
“Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So they are without excuse.”(1) The heavens are yet declaring the glory of God; the skies are yet proclaiming the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display the love of one who invites us into the story of life itself. --Stuart McAllister, Slice of Infinity

I was rooting for the Chiefs. I was not disappointed. I think our relatives in California are in mourning.
