The world as we know it is now "on hold"

Last week in Sunday School we were talking about plans and how our plans must be in line with
God's plans.

Plans are changing by the hour, it seems, because of the virus.

The coach is all packed, except for freezer and fridge stuff, and a few last minute things.  Plans were to go to Palm Creek (RV resort in Casa Grande) a few days then go to the Family Motor Coach Assn (FMCA) RV rally in Tucson next week.  Palm Creek has closed all its buildings, and the rally has been cancelled. So that took care of that!  Then just this morning, we got news that all the NOMADS volunteer regular and Disaster Rebuild projects have been cancelled until May 7.  That was the three-week project we were going to be doing in North Carolina.  God had other plans, so we are forced to hunker down for several more weeks.  Bill is working on making some more pens, and I will order fabric on-line and make a quilt!  Bill is having withdrawals from shopping!!!

We pray that all our friends and family will be totally protected from this horrible virus and they will be responsible and healthy.  We pray for our leaders, local and national, that they will look to the Lord in making decisions that affect this country and our way to recovery.  And we pray for the first responders and medical people to keep them safe.

The Baptism???

 Bill has a Pastor friend that he likes to fish with at Lakeview.  Last Monday they decided it was a good day to fish - Any bad day fishing is better that an good day anywhere else, right??  Well...... Doug was helping Bill get into the canoe and somehow something went wrong and Bill fell in.  Billfold, cell phone, credit cards, etc., etc.  Doug happened to have a blanket, so he gave it to Bill to dry off somewhat so he could drive home.  Immediately jumped into a hot shower. About an hour later, Doug called to make sure Bill had made it home okay.  He apologized profusely. Later that afteroon Doug called again. Same thing, asking if he was okay and asked if Cheryl was mad at him for "throwing him in". Then, Tuesday we had friends over for lunch.  While we were eating, Bill got a text from Doug........ "When I got home and told my wife what happened, she accused me of deliberately tipping you over, so I could count you as a baptism for my preacher...

 Last month, we did something we have never done, and will probably never do again - we went on a hog hunt.  There are approximately one and a half MILLION hogs in Texas, and people are encouraged to kill as many as possible.  They are a very invasive species and will ruin entire fields of crops in one night.  They destroyed several areas of lawn, including rooting up irrigation systems.  Lakeview hired some professional hog hunters and we got to go along.  I won't gross you out with the details, but the night we went with them, they got a 250 pound hog!  That was a lot of bacon!  One of the guys processed it, which included soaking it in salt water for four days.   We have painted exterior doors on one entire set of dorms, cut lots of bushes, trimmed more trees and served in the cafeteria.  We have had two groups of people.  Most have cancelled.  One group was 185 people,  youth groups from a few of the local churche...

  This was our radar at 6:38 this morning.  Palestine is left center on the screen.  Praise God it missed us.  We didn't even have any wind or rain from the hurricane.  Many of the guests who evacuated from Beaumont have returned to their homes.  Some have stayed on.  God is so good!
