Walked in from a very long day with the ZOE Conference in Nashville. I am fortunate enough to have good friends here that I stay with, so, as Avery and I walked in to their beautiful home, ready for a quick, good sleep, their little girl said to me...
"Miss Sandra, I have a surprise for you...it's over here...in your room..."
I figured she had decorated my room or made me a picture or something.
I followed her as she opened my bedroom door...
I saw nothing different at first, and then, from behind the bed popped my daughter. (the daughter who should be at ACU going to classes and taking tests!)
I gasped, cried, grabbed her and held her until she laughed and said, "sorry, brother, I'll have to hug you later, I guess!"
She smelled so sweet. Anybody else out there very sensitive (and I mean VERY sensitive) to the different sweet smells of life?
My friend, Eric, thought she may need to come see her Momma. Actually, I think her Momma may have needed to see her...
Needless to say, it's wonderful being here in Nashville, but to have BOTH my kids with me is a tremendous blessing!

Cool! The conference is going great. Glad you could be with your kids too!
That is great fun. Neat!
That was a HARD secret to keep.
Kudos to "Eric" for pulling that one off! Put a smile on my face when I read about your surprise.
Enjoy the conference and your kids, both of them.
Steve - I'm proud of you.
