Greetings from the great state of Minnesota! For all my "fans" in Texas...it is hot here! I went for a walk/run this evening late. The wind chill was still 97. Ok, it really isn't a wind chill but it did sound cooler that way. Tomorrow is promising to be even hotter than today. At the moment I guess coming home to Texas will be the only way to cool off.

Emily and I arrived safe if not sound. It would seem that all this travel wore on us the last day or two. We will arise early tomorrow for Lutheran church in the park. The afternoon will probably include a trip to town for me. Seems I am ill prepared for this journey.

Upon opening the suitcase this evening, I discovered all the things forgotten back home in Texas. So far I think that I left more than I packed. You would think as much as I travel from time to time that packing would not be an issue. No need to go into all that I left behind except to say the trip to the store will be necessary. Isn't it amazing that we think we are ready to go when we leave so much undone? Can you fill in the blanks with spiritual lessons on that one? I surely can reflect on it.

Bro. Trey
