Out here in the woods, with the quiet and dark, I mentioned that we have no t.v. or radio, so it's tougher to find out what's going on in the world. We do have good cell phone service, and our smartphones are just as smart as when we were in Eureka Springs, Madison or Colorado, so the source of our news of the day is what we get from the phone. It's good to check the headlines every so often to make sure what the state of the world is, because I don't think there is a telegraph office, pony express stop or a barber shop in Colmesneil.
At last report, the world was still intact; there are still wars and rumors of war, earthquakes, famines and much turmoil and political and economic strife, but for the most part, it is business as usual on Planet Earth. Ladybugs had descended on Eureka Springs the day before we left and it was a battle for those last two days, but the freezing weather of Kansas and Colorado seems to have done in all but a few, and we can handle them. Here in Texas it has been anywhere from the 30's at night to the 70's during the day, so most of the critters are confused and not sure whether to come in or stay out, so we have not had any problems......yet.
Without television, we don't have to endure the Bronco losing streak, the Ninjas, Perry Mason on MEtv, or a host of other "favorites" we enjoyed in the big cities of Eureka Springs (population 2,074) or Madison (population 4,060). We have been watching movies with Loren and Diane most evenings and I have been getting over seven hours sleep per night, an increase from our other venues. We are told we are missed, but the world and TGPP and SLMI are managing without us........imagine that. Yes, the world keeps a'goin, we are getting rested and when the time is ripe for us to jump back into the fray.........jump we will with the same desire to serve God and serve people we have had for our time as ministers and witnesses for Jesus Christ. We are content, blessed and grateful for all we have been given and the life we live. Each day is truly thanksgiving day for us. Press on.
