What are my thoughts?

Today is another beautiful Sunday; a day to rejoice and bless the Lord. We made a three hundred mile round trip yesterday to pick up our motorcycle in Ponca City, OK. It was a reminder of God's grace and mercy in our lives once again. The shop where we took the bike for repair has a very good reputation and the people were fair and honest. It is sobering to realize that God actually kept the wheel assembly together until we pulled onto their property. So now, we have two new tires, a new bearing in the rear wheel, and new spokes...the next 3500 miles should be a breeze. We are mailing some of our belongings home tomorrow, just to lighten the load a bit. We have realized that weight is a big factor in cross country travel on a motorcycle. We are going to church this morning in Joplin, Missouri, looking forward to praising our Savior together with friends. Good friends are a wonderful part of our lives. It is like 15 years have not passed since we saw them last...we have laughed and cried together, talked about the Lord together, and shared stories of children and grandchildren. We promise ourselves that another 15 years will not pass before we visit with each other again. God is up to something that will build HIS kingdom in this visit and we recognize HIS hand in all of this. Continue to pray for us as we start west...Go West, young man would be such a delightful command. It is the young we are the most interested in....our low backs were very tired yesterday when we arrived back to one of the Most Comfortable beds we have ever slept in. (Lady Americana is the brand of bed) Most of you will not care about that last tidbit of information, but knowing I am a "sometimer" I have included it in the blog so I can find the bed when we get home again. I am glad God is never forgetful of who or what I am...HE KNOWS MY NAME and WHERE I AM! Thanks, God for keeping track of me...Your love constrains me to respond in obedience. More later...today is the birthday of the woman who brought my wonderful husband into the world...Happy Birthday, Mom!
