Tom Landry

We went "Letterboxing".

(check the websites and links about Letterboxing and Atlas Quest)

The guys were kinda complaining about the idea of going "letterboxing", you get the picture.  I wanted to do the "letterboxing experience" with them, wanted to show them a "positive time."  So, I suggested that we go see the burial site of coach Tom Landry.  We paid our respects and recounted some stories also.  (BTW, we didn't see the letterbox after all, even though I had already found the letterbox on several other occasions).

We walked back to our RAV 4 and sitting in the car, we notice a black SUV stopping nearby.  The driver got out and walked around the front of the vehicle and opened the passenger door for an elderly woman.

We noticed they walked to the Tom Landry grave site.  Glenn said, "That's Mrs. Landry!"  Glenn rapidly walked towards them with Jeff following closely behind.  I followed them also.  Sure enough!  

Glenn asked, "Are you related to Coach Landry?" 
  
The man quietly replied, "Kind of, I'm his son."

We introduced ourselves to Tom Jr and Mrs. Landry.  Glenn mentioned how we enjoyed Tom's example of the life of Christ that he lived.

Jeff asked if we could pray for them. They agreed and Jeff prayed for Tom Jr and his dear mother, Alicia Landry.

We also asked to take a picture.  

Before we walked away, I asked the question, 
"why are you here?"  

Tom Jr. said that Sept 11, was Coach Landry's birthday.

I call this a "divine appointment".

Go Cowboys!
