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

Christmas message
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
End of our first week on the job
Today was the end of our first full week on the job, and it had its ups and downs. For starters, because we are working the later shift, we will be able to attend church here in the park every Sunday. Today was our first day there. Continue reading
Getting over our phobia
A year ago at this time, we were selling Christmas trees in Texas. We had lost our ability to smell the trees, we were sick of Christmas carols, and we were feeling like Scrooge. It was the worst Christmas either of us has ever had, and it left a bad taste in our mouths. Continue reading

Our last day of sightseeing on this trip
Today marks our last day of sightseeing on this trip. We took advantage of it to see St Augustine. First we visited the old jail, set up as it was in 1908. Continue reading
From Lake Park, GA
This morning we went to church with Steve and Bernice. They had warned us that it was big. Even at that, I wasn’t prepared for how huge it is. It’s called Northland Distributed Church because simultaneously with one of the two services in this building, it’s being broadcast (distributed) live to branch churches all over the country.
From Harper’s Ferry, WV
In 1976, when my family came to Harper’s Ferry, it was dusk, but I had the impression that it was a beautiful, quaint little town. I seem destined to arrive here at dusk, but I had a very good reason for arriving at dusk this time… Continue reading
Arlington National Cemetery and Second chapter of Acts
Today was a spiritual day in many ways. I wanted to take Mark to Arlington National Cemetery today while we finally had full sun and then Denise Fuller invited me to an Acts 2 event that friends of hers had invited her to. Mark and I both had a sense of reverence all day. Continue reading
Places to go, things to do, people to see!
This morning Mark and I took the truck into downtown Washington DC to do some sightseeing. But first we had to find parking, and by then we were hungry so we had lunch. We were on 6th St a block from Independence Ave. We had a long way to go from where we parked. Continue reading
