On the Road Again!

Me, my sweet Mother, my sister Sue, overshadowed by my brother "Sonny", on the Fourth of July. What a nice day we had!!

Tomorrow morning, we hit the road again, the Lord willing. We are heading out to Branson MO for the Defending Your Faith family conference, sponsored by Vision Forum and Answers in Genesis, with most of our family. The Dischers head to NC first -- they won a video audition with 4-H to play for the national convention of county extension agents. They will be blessed by an expense-paid trip and an opportunity to see elderly relatives and make new friends along the way. Then they will swiftly make their way out to Branson to join everyone else.

Daughter-in-law Ashley and little Savannah were going along with us in the old "Beaver" (RV dinosaur) but the thought of being away from Daddy (Jason) for 2 weeks just got to all 3 of them! We don't blame y'all at all, but we will miss you. The Stricklens will meet us out there, and the Millers are already in Arkansas, so what a blessing it will be to have a little family reunion in Branson! And the granddaughters' friend, Amanda, will be an honorary granddaughter for the trip! We love you, Amanda, and are glad you are going with us!

Please pray for traveling mercies for all families and for our family to uphold our motto: "To show the world what the Lord can do through one family committed to His ways and to each other". Oh! The new CD's came! We will be taking some along on the trip, and hopefully blessing many people along the way. Actually, they are not new, just remastered and professionally packaged. Let me know if you want one, and we will find a way to get them to you. Beth figures we need $10 each, but if you can't do that, I'll find a way to get you one!

I hope to be able to post along the way, as I am proud of my old dinosaur self getting my phone to work again as a modem! I didn't need any whippersnapper help (well, I guess the sweet young lady at ATT counts as a whippersnapper -- but I did wait an hour on hold! So that counts for something!) Anyway, thank you, Lord, for Your help with techie problems! More later . . .

You know, I think that every time I stop in here to check on you, I find your family is traveling AGAIN! I don't know how you do it, Bonnie, but what a blessing to have these special family memories :-)

Blessings,
