So I’m headed out Friday morning to see my family & friends in Kentucky/Tennessee for a week.  It’s really a kick  to go back to my “old Kentucky home” – especially in the fall, my absolute favorite time of the year.  I can feel the brisk air already & anticipate how it feels to stand in the presence of a multitude of trees full of leaves that are turning red, orange, brown, yellow.  SSOSOOSO can’t wait for that, it’s such an “I love you, God” moment for me.  I’m traveling with Joanie my dear friend since 7th grade (how bomb is that?) and we are visiting her daughter, Lauren in Tennessee, who is attending the same small Christian college we attended together Johnson Bible College back in the 80′s.    Lauren is speaking in chapel which is an honor for her and such a  rare opportunity as well that they allow women to speak.  She has a great heart for the Lord, I can’t wait to sit in a chapel service again in that place and hear from Joanie’s daughter what she’s compelled to share.    And then there’s Angie’s 50th birthday party in Johnson City TN Saturday night as well as  visiting w/ Bob & Nancy, High School friends who live in Hendersonville NC, surely to be the highlight of the whole trip since Bob still makes us laugh.  

Then back to Kentucky for time with my parents, in the home where I grew up which is always trippy no matter how old you are.  So if you think about it pray for my folks, 

My Kentucky Family

My Kentucky Family

 

they are good people, up in their years who don’t get around like they used to.  I want to be a blessing to them & to the rest of my family while I’m there.  

What do you want me to bring you back from the South?
