Sometimes we can turn simple tasks into great
adventures… And that is not always a bad
thing. Let’s take the simple task of
buying a beverage to drink on our trip from Grand junction to Denver Airport.
Using our cell phone app, we easily found a nearby Safeway
Grocery. So far, so easy. The three of us, Brenda, our son Andrew, and
I trooped into the store on the quest for whatever Andrew might need for the
arduous 3-hour trip to AL. Can’t risk
starvation on such a venture, understand.
After a good 10 minutes of debating what might be the BEST
possible beverage for the expedition, Andrew hastily reached up and grabbed a
bottle of Gatorade. Amazingly decisive,
he was. As we are heading for checkout, someone
in our party decided she needed some more Vaseline. This entailed a trek to the other end of the
store, almost requiring the Gatorade we had discovered in our initial quest.
After snagging the Vaseline, no easy task, we then discussed
the best way to finance our $5 purchase. This resulted in several minutes of debating the pros and cons of cash vs. credit cards.
SOOO, just what is the point of this blog post, the astute
reader (you) might ask? Well, the point
is, that the Bishops can make even the most mundane task an interesting
adventure involving a quest, high-level mathematics, leadership, and cooperation.
Think about THAT the next time you had out to buy more
oatmeal!
