THE TIME IS APPROACHING

As i write this to you all, i have about a week left here before i head to Daytona Beach. i am reminded of many great times here with many of you over the years. i have watched my nephew Myles grow up from a beautiful little 3 year old little boy to an older and wiser 10 year old, he is a great joy in my life. i have gotten to spend some time with my Mom and Sister and seen my sister get married. i have many brothers and sisters in the Lord that i will miss along with my family. It has been a time of growing for me. Not always easy, but always with God.

i have many thank yous and see you later's to share, and over the next week there are some functions i will attend to see you all. Please know i love you all and hold you in my heart and prayers always as i go. If i do not get to tell you this week, i am an e-mail or phone call away. But i do intend to see as many of you as i can.

What i would like to ask of everyone is this. Please continue to pray for me and my family. Mom has not gotten a roommate yet, and the Holy Spirit to guide, convict and protect my family. i have sold or given away most everything for this trip. i have whittled it down to some clothes and bare necessities. i do not need anything material to go. i do have some expenses for the journey that you could help defray if you have a heart to. The tow hitch for the Jeep is $300, Gas will be about $1500-$2000 depending on mileage, and rent for the first month at the RV park will be $450. If my mom does not find a roommate i will need to give her a last $500 for August.

There you have it. As the day of departure draws closer i will write more about the trip. i will be traveling a southern route via Amarillo, Texas; Fairfield, Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana to visit the RAVEN teams there. Something like this, Highway 5 to 40 to 10...

God bless you all and i will see you sometime this week...
