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
This morning we went to the Friends church in Sturgeon Bay that we had gone to whenever we had a chance last summer. This is the church where The Old Rugged Cross was first performed at a revival meeting. They have a monument to that effect beside the church building. 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
It’s not easy sleeping in a cabin with a hard mattress and two cats who are loose around you all night. By the time morning rolled around, we were ready to get out of there. It took three trips over to where our RV was for Mark to transport the cats and our stuff back, and the second time he returned to the cabin he told me that the part for our RV had just come in. By the time I was able to go over, the guys were saying the RV would be done in an hour and a half. Mark and I decided to check out the town while we waited. There wasn’t much to the town, but we found this beautiful field: 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:
I emailed everyone I could think of this morning to forestall anyone worrying about us when they saw the news about the tornado that hit close to where we are. For those of you who didn’t get an email, you needn’t worry about Mark and me. We slept through the whole storm and it didn’t greatly affect Sun N Fun. We’ve seen lots of Spanish moss on the ground and one of the wifi towers was down this afternoon, but everyone here in the park is safe. Continue reading
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
