Detour

Indianapolis Irish Festival

"After the Holy Spirit prevented them from speaking the word in the province of Asia, they traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia." (Acts 16:6)

What a fun weekend with kids and grands at a cross-country track meet, three soccer games, the Irish Step Dance Festival, and  their church worship service! 

Yesterday afternoon on the way home from Indiana, we thought WAZE redirected us around construction on Tennessee I-24, but when the one-hour, out-of-the-way detour brought us to Wendy's and a 101-year-old former teacher of a one-room schoolhouse, I recognized the Holy Spirit had ordered our steps. (And yes, I gave the old gentleman a copy of  The Schoolhouse.)

Beloved, if we see Jesus in everything, we'll detour annoyed and impatient.
