Now that we have settled into the campground near Mom, it’s time to look for work. Mark came knowing that he will be working at UPS for the Christmas season. We were both hoping to be working by Monday, October 31st, but we found out this morning that his job won’t start till November 14th. That leaves me to come up with something quick.
We crossed into Mountain Time today, meaning we’re one hour behind Door County and one hour ahead of the Pacific NW. Since it was like having an extra hour in the day, we felt a little freer to make a couple stops along the way. Continue reading
We went to my church, Community Friends Church, yesterday. In the “programmed” Friends meetings, there is a time for open worship. This is a designated five or ten minute period of silence where people can talk about what God is doing in their lives, ask for prayer, read a passage of scripture, sing, or whatever they feel moved by the Spirit to do. So I shared about coming to the point of thanking God that we won’t be able to come back to Wagon Trail Campground next year and that my life is in upheaval and I don’t know what He’s doing, but deciding to trust Him.

Mark and I had just had dinner and were talking about what we were going to do before our evening rounds when there was a knock on our door. One of the new Workampers here came to warn us that a severe storm was on its way. Continue reading
Shortly before we left Florida I got an email from Our Daily Bread Ministries saying they were going to be putting on a one day Bible Conference in Detroit, MI on April 30th and it was only going to cost $10 per person to cover a box lunch. It was on our way, it was at the right time, and the price was right. Who could pass up such an offer? Continue reading
Ever since Mark had his vertigo attack, people have been telling me about a new treatment for vertigo. Vertigo is caused by crystals in the fluid in your inner ear that somehow end up where they aren’t supposed to be, and the treatment is to move the head around in such a way as to get them back in place. Mark had a chiropractic appointment this morning and the chiropractor did this type of treatment for him. Continue reading
Yesterday (Monday) Mark had an orientation at the VA in the morning and I slept in. When I got up I waited till a reasonable hour Pacific Time and called my older sister to discuss some neat things I’ve been learning in my women’s Bible study. While I talked with her on the phone I had cold pizza from the day before and a Coke. After Mark’s orientation, he went to McDonalds for lunch and then made a couple “guy” stops. Little did we know that those lunches would be the last real meals we’d have for over 24 hours. Continue reading
Most of you may remember that my stepfather was diagnosed with a rare form of an aggressive thyroid cancer a few months ago. He finished his radiation treatments last month and has been waiting for the doctors to test to see how the cancer responded to the radiation. Here is a report I just got from my mom:
This being New Year’s Eve, it’s time to look back and look forward. Continue reading
Tonight we got off work early so we could attend the candlelight service at the Sun N Fun Community Church. It took some time to get from work to Woodland Hall where the service was being held, but we were there before I was scheduled to do my reading. I had been assigned to read John 1:1-14. I memorized the whole thing in advance, but took my Bible up to make sure I didn’t forget anything. We recreated my reading here at home for your listening pleasure: Continue reading
