the last day

This was our last day in Texas - it has been relaxing, confirming, confidence building, built greater contentment, revealed weaknesses, renewed determination, created new thankfulness.  Extremely worth while.

We heard great teaching, participated in fantastic worship, made new friends and discussed future possibilities.

Here is a glimpse of things we saw last night and today - thanks to all of your who prayed for our safety and learning!

This is the hallway outside the Gateway auditorium

An amazing night of worship

One workshop with Tim Shepherd and Thomas Miller

Max Lucado was an amazing speaker!

The grassy knoll in Dallas where President Kennedy was killed

This is the building where they think Oswald shot from a top window

Goodbye Dallas - Mansfield here we come tomorrow!

exploring and shooting

Today started with exploring the German town of Gruene - so beautiful!

Brothers - Ron and Tom

we ate a magnificent lunch at the Gist Mill Resturant!

It felt nothing like a resturant - almost as if you were just having a picnic by yourself

I found a shop called 'The Gypsie" and fell in love with a whole line of clothes I've never seen before just in time to hear my hubby say it was time to go!!  Not a happy girl - but I quickly typed the name of the clothing line into my browser for future ordering!  And there will be future ordering!

We arrived back in Austin just as our nephews got out of school and it was off to play for a while.

Our team won the laser tag game I'm proud to report!! We cheered with guns in the air as the defeated team sadly passed by!   I'm fairly sure the oldest child on the opposing team may have been 8 if I'm generous.  Details...

Victorious lazer tag team

A Game Place!

Endless climbing walls - I kept turning corners and finding more!

We ended the night at Torchies - the best taco resturant I've ever eaten at!
Excellent ending to our perfect day!

It's been fun to be with family in Austin - tomorrow we head toward Dallas and are praying for opportunities we've only dreamed of!  Gateway Church - here we come!
