Sustenance

The first year Lori and I were married, we lived in “married student housing” at Oklahoma State University. I had already graduated from college and was teaching and coaching. Lori was finishing up her last year. A couple of miles from our small apartment was a Braum’s ice cream store where cones were fifty cents a scoop at that time. I won’t lie…there were nights we craved, longed for, and yearned for a Braum’s ice cream cone. We would search our apartment for loose change until we had scrounged up a dollar and then happily headed to Braum’s. Now when we visit family in Oklahoma, we still make sure we enjoy a few Braum’s ice cream cones during our stay! Peter instructs us that there is something more important than food that we really need to long for.
