Growing up, my family was well known in our neighborhood. Everyone knew us as the “travel” and “party” family.

After visiting, my buddies went back home and talked about my dad and mom. And, that’s how our reputation spread. Why were we known as the “travel and party” family?

My father was famous for his ability to send you on a “guilt trip.” Any time and anywhere he loved to send you traveling (down a path of guilt).

And, my mother was legendary for her parties. She could throw a party on a moments notice. And, her self-pity parties could last all night.

I hope your growing-up-home was not known as a “travel and party” family.

Closing

I thought it was time for a little humor.

Prayer

Father, please give us wisdom, insights, and rest in you. Amen
