People and God's Creation - To the West!

Image
This Blog covers July 5-19.    Leander, TX, Davenport, IA, Prospect, OR.  About 3100 miles. We continue to meet good people; visit friends, relatives, and farms and just gasp at the wonder of God's creation.   We are more aware of God's hand everyday!    We are reminded of the vision and struggle of pioneers as they made their way west.   The following quote is from Paul Harvey: " When America's early pioneers first turned their eyes toward the West, they did not demand that somebody take care of them if they got ill or got old. They did not demand maximum pay for minimum work, and even pay for no work at all."

Two Months in Florida - 2022 - Lots of Ups...Some downs

Image
After winter months in Central Texas, we headed to the Florida panhandle in early March.   Our Odyssey of building relationships, sharing, rekindling extended family and seeing beautiful creation continues.  This is longer than normal but God had done much these past few months.    Distributing Gideon New Testaments has become 2nd nature.  We always have one in our pockets to offer to anyone we strike up a conversation with.  Anyone can do this even if you not a member of The Gideons International, you can simply purchase these little New Testaments at www.FriendsofGideons.org Disappointments and Blessings Sadly, arriving at our RV Resort in Miramar Beach FL, we experienced damage to the tailgate of our truck which required a tailgate replacement and a significant deductible cost. 😞 The resort turned out to be overly expensive but the owner, a Christian brother, kindly gave us a $450 refund, even though he has never given a refund before.
