\na. We bought a new truck last night
\nb. I love it, but I think Laurie<\/b> may be more excited than I am – I think she may try and sneak off with it one day before work and leave me the Xterra
\nc. Our Community group is finishing up Colossians this week (hopefully)
\nd. We’re going to start on Mark Batterson’s<\/b> series Chase the Lion<\/em> next week
\ne. I’ve done some real searching today on my family history<\/a>.
\nf. Found some confusing information and it turns out, as I suspected, two Strother sisters<\/a>, married two Gaines brothers<\/a>
\ng. Once that was confirmed, everything else started making sense again.
\nh. While I’m not completely sure on one or two generations, it would appear that one relative on my mom’s side<\/a> signed the American Declaration of Independence, and another<\/a> signed the Texas Declaration of Independence. Crazy!
\ni. It may be crazier to think that they were only a generation or two apart.
\nj. In the meantime, I posted a challenge on our Wiki page<\/a> – but unless you’re still reading this, I doubt you care anything about my family’s history. But if you do, feel free to join in – or start your own Wiki<\/a> for your family tree. Maybe we’ll find they connect somewhere in the not to recent past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
