WE ARE THANKFUL, ALWAYS! (November 25 - December 1, 2017)

To be totally honest, it wasn't easy to leave the white sand beaches and warm temperatures of Grand Cayman Island and fly north to Indiana and our cabin.  Well, we actually flew north to Cincinnati, Ohio.  Well, really we landed at the Cincinnati/Covington International Airport in Kentucky.

It wasn't that we couldn't have flown into Indianapolis but it was rather that, in order to have ground transportation during our one week stay in the Hoosier state, we had to fly to Cincinnati.  Let me explain.

Since we fly almost everywhere we go and because you can't take a car in your carry on, we simply sold our cars.  On the ground, in our various stops, we either use public transportation, Uber, rent a car, or find someone who will loan us some wheels.  That's where flying to Cincinnati comes in.

Back in 2012, while I was traveling and speaking, I held a revival in Plainfield, Indiana (near Indianapolis) where Darwin Pressler pastored.  Darwin and I know about each other but really had never had much contact across the years.  When he heard of my transportation need he, without hesitation, said; "I have an old truck that pretty much just sits around here.  Why not use it when you are here in Indiana?"   Thus, for the past 5 years, this wonderful Godly man has allowed me (us) to use a truck.

We are actually on the 2nd truck.  I named the first one "Gracie" to remind me of the unmerited favor this generous man had given me.  Now, it's "Gracie II" that joins us on many of our travels in Indiana.
The Presslers lived near the Indy airport until changing assignments last year.  Now they are close to the Cincinnati airport living in Rising Sun, Indiana on the Ohio River.

Why all this explanation?  Because Darwin and Jean represent so many kind and generous people that we have met throughout the years.  There are a lot of awesome folks out there;  folks who love Jesus and extend His grace to others.  I wish I had space and time to thank all the people who have helped Sherry and me enjoy our nomadic lifestyle this past year.  You know who you are.  "Thanks".  You are represented well by the Presslers.

What could you do to provide "grace" to someone in need in the year to come.  There is a blessing in being His servant.  A blessing to both you and those you serve.

Now, it's off to Tennessee for December.  Thanks, Tim and Vicky, for picking us up at the Nashville airport and delivering us to Crossville.  Man, are we blessed.
