Lifegate church, going back to Kansas, the KU game, and visiting Jan

 Sunday morning it was time for us to go back to Kansas.  

We said our byes.  Mindy was still sleeping.  She is so tired with this pregnancy.

Al and I had decided that we would visit a church plant of our denomination, Lifegate Church.  Their pastor, Nirup Alphonse, had come and spoken at our church before it started and our church helped with some funds.

There were a lot of young people; a very vibrant group!  We were probably one of the oldest there; there were not many with grey hair!  But a few.  

You can find them at on YouTube Lifegate Denver and listen!

On the road!  I love this "nothingness"!  The plains of eastern Colorado and western Kansas.

Either llamas or alpacas.  Hard for me to distinguish at a distance.  Come to think of it, do I know the difference up close?  I'd have to look that one up on-line!

Close to home we ran into a little storm.

The next evening, we went to our friend Tarenda's house to watch KU win the men's basketball National Championship!  It was a historic comeback as they were trailing 25-40 at half time.  It was a nailbiter to the end!  We went to KU back in the '70s, so of course had to root for them, but I was impressed with North Carolina.  I was cheering them on before this final game.

It was a busy week.  Laundry.  Making several freezer meals to take to my son's family as my daughter-in-law was going to have surgery.  I had my dear young mom's Bible study.  One afternoon Allen asked if I could run to Hutch Hospital to pick up some meds for the hospital he works at.  Glad to do that and while I was at it, I would visit my dear friend Jan, who had just moved to Hutch!

A visit with a friend is always special!  Blessings on your new home, Jan!  I know you will enjoy being close to your daughter and her family and I know the Lord will bring you many new friends!  I KNOW you will be a light to those around you!

And then it was packing for another trip (we didn't even put our suitcases away) - this time to Arkansas for our daughter-in-law's upcoming surgery.  The ultrasound and tests looked suspiciously cancerous.  We will trust You, Lord.
