We just returned from a ten-day trip to Kansas City. And it was a whirlwind!
We spent four days driving and jump-started our trip by leaving in the evening the day before we had planned to leave.
In our six days in Kansas City, we fit in:
- Got to KC just in time to catch the second half of a most fantastic and nail-biting Chiefs game, but aren’t they all?
- Lots of evening time to catch up with my brother Tom and his wife Tammy, and got them hooked on Yellowstone!
- Three book signings
- Dinner with a former dog handler (Proud of you Steve)
- Lunch and a working meeting with a client (Excited to see where we go, Mo!)
- Several chiropractor visits – thanks Andy Harding for putting me back together again.
- Dinner with family (love you, Karen and Dean)
- Radio time with my favs – Dana and Parks!
- A Menard’s fix – when will they make it to Virginia?
- My niece’s wedding (Amber, you were beautiful)
- A most awesome two-day seminar, Slaying Your Shame Dragon (which filled my heart and gave me a new tribe! Thanks Barabara!!)
- Book signing and services at our former church in Sedalia (Thanks so much Chad!)
- Interview with Faith Bemiss for a front-page story in the Sedalia newspaper. (Blessings to you Faith!)
- Lunch and overnight stay with Sedalia friends (Love your new house, Jake and Larry!)
- Visit with our oldest Sedalia friends (Thanks Andy!)
- Breakfast with our most profound Sedalia mentors and friends (Love you, Ben and Vicki!)
- Our planned route home for a beautiful trip through the Blue Ridge Mountains turned tricky with heavy rain and low fog.
- But it all came together when we pulled into the driveway with happy grandkids dancing around us!
Thank you so much for all you do Toby!
Thanks Sandy – that means a lot!
Love you and your work, Toby. Walking a tough road. Keeping hope alive though!
Thank you so much Kathy! Those tough roads are ripe with opportunity!
Toby, I did finish reading your book, Living With Conviction, and I cried through the whole last chapter. Having known you and then reading all that you privately went through REALLY touched my heart. I have loaned your book to a friend at my vet’s office.
I am so happy for you that LIFE is busy and fruitful. What a Whirlwind!!!!
Again, great reading about all your friends and happy goings-on on your KC trip. If ever in St. Louis, please let me know.
Toby, I love you and follow you from a distance as do many others you know not of. You are making a difference in ways you likely will never know. It’s a joy to watch your continued journey of success having escaped your prison. 🙂
Thank you so much Cathy. I too, love your story of forgiveness and grace!
Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
