THE BED THAT WASN'T THERE

I’m always talking about the crazy stuff our fellow softball parents do when we’re away on road trips. Turns out traveling hockey teams have just as many hijinks.

A friend of mine named Jane tells this one:

“Our hockey coaches are two 20-somethings, typical guys who are lots of fun. On one hockey road trip, they got the keys to one of the dad's rooms.

“When the dad returned to his room, where his bed used to be, the pillows and the bedspread were nicely made up – flat on the floor.

“The coaches had unassembled the bed frame and removed it and the mattresses. Quite the sight.”

Oh, those cheap, flat motel beds!

Praise report: Thank You, Father, for the lift in the voice of my friend Cindy that I heard on the phone after her high fever and hospitalization last week. Her battle with leukemia wages on, and I’m proud of how she reflects Your courage and resilience at every turn. Grant her rest and strength as she gears up for this last blast of chemo. Sing over her of Your love, Lord. (Zephaniah 3:17).

Prayer request: Safety and restoration for a friend’s son Scott as he enjoys an all-expenses paid trip to Seattle over a long weekend for a friend’s wedding and a well-deserved breather. May he seek You, and find You, and deepen his love and commitment. (Proverbs 8:17)

Prayer request: Healing, Lord for Beth Rains, the sister-in-law of my friend Allen. She fell on the pavement, striking the back of her head, and had an operation to relieve pressure on her brain. She is now in intensive care. We come up against the spirit of fear, and pray that her family and friends will lean on You during these difficult days. (Proverbs 1:33)
