Asbury Visit

Last weekend, Sara and I made a quick trip to KY to visit Asbury University (which happens to be our Alma Mater). My mom rode along too and visited an old friend that lived nearby. After dropping mom off, Sara and I continued the drive up to Wilmore (just outside of Lexington). Since I had never driven that specific route before, I pulled out the GPS and decided to just let it lead the way. Sara was driving and I knew we were close to Wilmore (aka, the "Holy City" - KY version) and we made a left turn as Garmin instructed. Soon we found ourself on a narrowing road and, although it was paved, continued to narrow and curve and curve some more! We were laughing at first, but soon got a bit nervous. Finally we rounded a curve (Garmin saying we were only 1 mile from our destination) and what did we see? A CREEK (that was more like a river) flowing right over the road!!! On the other side of this creek continued our road! We just laughed ... and we stopped too. And then what? Why, take some pictures, of course!

After our little creek in the road adventure, we made it to Asbury and walked around campus. Many things are the same but many things are different -- new and exciting changes. There is something about that place - you can just feel it. Well, at least I can. Such a feeling of comfort and security and that you are "in the right place". I saw a few friends (Kellie, Tim, Tricia, Mark) and a few folks that I knew from "back in the day". Sara stayed in the dorm with one of my college friends' daughters. She stayed right there in Kresge 1st West - the same unit that I called home for 3 of my 4 years at Asbury. I think Sara liked it; although, it is far from home, 7 hours. My prayer for her is that she seeks God's guidance in this decision. My prayer is that He leads her to Wilmore!!! And her 3 younger sisters when the time comes. I think I will be working till I'm 80, but I'll do it!! (well, I'd rather not, haha!).
