ESCAPED!!!

Good Afternoon from Deming New Mexico.  We escaped Sun Lakes on Monday morning.  Spent a couple of nights in Casa Grande.  Will spend a couple of nights here before going on to Pecos TX.  Ok, ok, before y'all all get your panties into a wad, we haven't had contact with any more people than we would have at home.  We stopped once for fuel at Flying J, Bill used his mask and gloves to fuel up and to pay.  Stopped at rest areas for lunch and to let the girls out.  Ate from the freezer and fridge.  When we get to the RV park for the night, we have already made our reservations and paid, so they have our instructions and site number in a mailbox outside - don't even have to see anyone! 

They have people parked farther apart with at least one space (about 20 ft or more) between coaches.  Everyone is friendly but keeps their distance.  Contrary to what our government thinks, we Americans DO have common sense and can think for ourselves.  Our great country is headed into a downward spiral, the likes of which we have never seen.  We pray for all those who are having to work through all this.  We have a new appreciation for the truckers, also all the First Responders, doctors, nurses, etc.  God Bless them all!

Today we saw a car which had rolled off a tow truck near Tucson.  Also at a rest area, the police had a semi pulled over and were inspecting their load.  Hmmmm! Wonder what was in it!  Always see interesting things on trips.

Stay safe and healthy!

  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!

Hurricane Laura

 We have been preparing rooms for up to nearly 300 evacuees from Hurricane Laura.  Mostly from Beaumont and the Houston area.  She is scheduled to hit tonight, and we are grateful that these people were able to get out.  Many are from Assisted Living homes.  Some came in ambulances.  Some drove all night.  Some came with their belongings in U-Hauls, at least one family brought a hospital bed, another has a generator in the back of their truck.  This is real life, folks.  It is so rewarding to be able to help in this situation, and we thank God that we are here.  Please pray for us that we will be shining examples of ambassadors for Christ.   It has been hot and humid, so it's very difficult to work outside except early morning, just like in Arizona, except we aren't used to the humidity again. Today is Coco's 13th birthday!  She is still going strong.  Bitsy is just Bitsy! She was moping the other day because she knew we were leaving for a little while to work.  I got this

Ruston, LA, to Port Lavaca, TX

We stayed at Lincoln Parish Park a couple of nights backed up to a beautiful little lake.  Been here several times before while visiting Bill's (now) oldest brother.  Charles is now in Memory Care in a very lovely facility.  He has Alzheimer's and is not doing well.  He starts a sentence but cannot seem to finish it with any cohesion.  Please keep Charles and wife Wanda in your prayers.  It's very sad to see him like this and has been especially hard on Bill.  From there we went to Lakeview United Methodist Conference Center in Palestine TX  Lakeviewmcc.org    (double click)  We worked here many times and is one of our favorite places to work.  Josh Pulver, the new President, showed us around the acreage and new buildings that have been built since we were there last about 4 years ago.  This is where Cheryl did the 153 stained glass crosses for the Gift Shop that came from the Chapel windows.  Got to Port Lavaca about 3:30 Friday afternoon.  The First United Metho
