I was feeling FEELINGS about this. Until I wasn’t.

About this sermon

I thought I would give you a bit more of the inside scoop on a little adventure I experienced this week moving Ben into college on Tuesday. There were just so many feelings. It’s such a weird thing to launch kids. We went down in Texas State in San Marcos, which is close to Austin. It’s 105 degrees. And guess what? His dorm does not have an elevator. And guess what? He’s on the fourth floor. So, we’re hauling all his stuff up the stairs, and I’m doing the mom thing and unpacking and getting him organized. And do you know what Ben said while I was folding all his clothes that we hauled up four flights of stairs in 105-degree heat? “I’m actually going to bring all those clothes back to your house to do laundry.” Sometimes the feelings you’re feeling about your kid leaving the nest go away. And then there was one — just a mom and her daughter in this old house. Until Ben comes home — probably tomorrow — to do more laundry and eat my food.
