Lake Waco
This has been a wonderful two and a half weeks at Lakeview. We did lots of little odd jobs but felt like we made a difference. One major project was we helped build a new stage background wall at one of the conference halls. That took two and a half days.
We got a screwdriver bit (of all things) in a brand new car tire. One of the maintenance men plugged it for us, then we went into Discount Tire the next morning to have it fixed. They did not charge us anything. Another blessing! God is always taking care of us.
Cheryl made face masks for all the staff and employees. Bill gave them all a pen that he had made. Everyone seemed so appreciative. They gave us parting gifts, family pictures, a framed picture of the Cross in Lake Lemon, hand made soap and a beautiful new wind chime after ours broke. Some had brought us homemade muffins. They are just the nicest people and we love them all. They are falling on some hard times, as everyone else is in this Covid-19 disaster. Some of their biggest groups that have been coming here for over 50 years are not coming this year. But God has promised that He will not leave us or forsake us, so He will provide.
We are now at Lake Waco RV Park, on the side of the lake. The sunrise was beautiful this morning. Yesterday we drove down to see The Silos and Magnolia Market, both of which were closed. They were made famous by Chip and Joanna Gaines of Fixer Upper. We started watching that show a few months ago and really like it. So we thought we'd see what Waco is all about. Other than Baylor University, which is a very pretty campus, Waco was very disappointing.
Just thinking about all the craziness of the Covid-19, and power-hungry people that are running (and ruining) people's lives makes us want to buy some land out in the middle of nowhere and live off the land. Makes me think of II Chronicles:

13 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people,
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place,
