Friday night they took us downtown, where we saw the site (made famous in pictures from 1968) where Martin Luther King, Jr was gunned down. It was moving to me, because I believe he was one of the GREATEST Americans. Wow! What an orator. What a visionary.
We ate supper downtown at a place that is known for its pork ribs. Lots of famous people have eaten there. Of course, Beverly and I added two more to that list:)
We feel blessed that our Memphis family has found such a great place to minister for the Lord.

The trip home was a different story. Ike was centered over Texarkana at 5 PM on Saturday. Guess where we were at 5 PM? And then, we had a flat tire just east of Dallas. So I changed a tire in the rain, and put on the donut tire. It went flat about 2 miles from our house.
Still, we are thankful to be home safely. We are currently enjoying having Jonathan, Jennifer, Jed and Jocelyn staying with us, along with some of their friends from Houston. They will stay until power is restored. We even had Jenny and Malaya with us for supper last night. This is like Christmas!
Would it be wrong for me to pray that it takes a while for them to restore it? I think most grandparents would understand such a prayer. Obviously, I am really praying that things will get back to "normal" soon for those displaced by Ike.

I'm glad ya'll made it home safely. You made me laugh with the Christmas statement. You will understand when I ask, "did you get a $20 check?"
