Three Weeks From Now

Boxes and packing. Zippered bags and stacking. I wonder how it will fit in the car. Three weeks from now we will be en route to Sarasota, Florida. Every year I try to pack things a little neater and a little tighter. I'd like to think I do, but sometimes I wonder if it's simply a way to keep my attention deficit brain from losing interest entirely. Never, in four seasons, have I packed the same way twice. My soul feeds on variety, which must be why, despite the apparent inconvenience, I love the baseball life.

It is a life that provides a constant supply of excitement for a wanderlust spirit like mine. Unfortunately, excitement and uncertainty are a package deal, but that cannot be helped. God is on His throne and is infinitely able to arrange the details of housing, beds, clothes, food, and the job to pay for it. Since He has it under control, I am free to rearrange my packing every year and have fun doing it.
