Field Trip in the Book of Romans

Today began with thunder and rain.

As we sat around the table eating our lunch, three precious children stating the fact "The sun's starting to come out Mom"! "Do we still get to go to the Ryan's?" "We'll see", I say as I begin to clear the table. Next thing you know, we're loading up in our van to go see our friends. As we pull into the drive, the four young men are as excited to see us as we are them. We pour out of the van and kids go everywhere. After the dust settles, the two moms head into to the house. We now have the babies waking up from the naps. After velcroing the sandals on two of them, they run to catch up with the others. The other baby doesn't need shoes yet as he is too little to run, so he hangs out with the moms. Now for a brief couple of moments, we catch up with one another and begin a wonderful, but brief, study of the Bible. Yes, a field trip to visit with Paul in the book of Romans. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
