Our bags are packed with only a few last minute items to toss in tomorrow morning, but I’m still working on my “To Do Before the Trip” list.  That is now longer than my “Don’t Forget to Pack” list.   I’m working on the important things first and I’ll see about the stuff at the bottom of the list (like clean the toilets).  Either the boys will do those things or ignore those things.  Which ever, I’m not going to even think about them after I walk out the door at 4:45 AM.  Vacation begins!
I’m praying that two weeks from now we return to a country heading in the right direction.  I hope our citizens vote to save the family, save marriage, save democracy, save faith and freedom. Yes, the economy is in serious straits but we need to look down the long road.  We must choose to save the values that this nation was founded upon so that the Lord will keep His hand of blessing on our land.
