Good morning! Well, our time here in Texas has been way too short, but it’s been great seeing my son and daughter-in-law. And of course, my grand kitties. 🙂 It’s been so hot, we haven’t been able to go out to do a whole lot, but we did go down to the Paluxy River at Big Rocks for a short venture. The river has gone dry there below the dam, so it looked very strange to me. I used to cross the river there at Big Rocks and climb up the cliffs down river after work. I’ve seen the water level high and low, but never completely dry before. But Christian still enjoyed climbing on the rocks for a while.

During our time here, we stopped by Rainbow Baptist Church, where my son Jason used to attend. His pastor, Don Caldwell, is now at another church, but the music director, Tim, still remembered Jason. We gave him a couple of copies of our book, Faith, Hope & Miracles and asked him to send a copy on to Pastor Caldwell. After the service, I took some pictures of the beautiful memorial garden the church put up for Jason.
Even though there were some painful memories, it still brought comfort being there. I am thankful that Jason found Jesus, and had a wonderful and loving church family surrounding him. I was told that he touched many lives there, and in the community.
Christian also enjoyed playing video games and keeping cool in the air conditioning. Most of the time he had a little help.
On our last evening here, I was finally able to get everyone together for a group picture before going out to dinner at Chili’s. We all ate too much, but enjoyed our time anyway.
My family is a little goofy, but I love them!
After dinner, we stayed up most of the night talking and sharing funny stories and memories. I am not ready to leave yet, but we must be moving on to our next stop. I will miss Daniel & Tricia, but they are always close in my heart. I will post more updates when we reach Arizona.
Take care for now, and love one another. God bless! – Amber & Christian
