    The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Proverbs 18:21

           Monday October 7 th ~

     Published from Bill and Jo's house here in Osceola, Nebraska. Then ministered at the "Good Samaritan" nursing home in town for a lovely group who sang along with most all the songs.

           Tuesday October 8 th ~

     Said my goodbyes and thank yous and headed south.
     Settled in the city campground in Hebron, Nebraska and took an Ibuprofen for the arm.

           Wednesday October 9 th ~

     Sang at the "Blue Valley Lutheran Home" right after Baby Watch.

     There is a day-care located in the basement of this facility used primarily by employees of the nearby hospital. For about 45 minutes they bring the babes up to the Great Room and let them play on the floor encircled by residents of the nursing home. What a lovely/heart warming idea.

     Continuing south I crossed the border into Kansas to the town of Concordia which has a free campground next to their small airport. Lots of shade trees and electric hookups.
     As I was out for a walk, a couple (Craig & Rosann) sitting outside their RV invited me over to ask, "Is your name Larry Stevens? And do you sing in nursing homes?"

     Turns out we met two years ago in a facility in Minnesota where they were visiting his mother while I was singing there. Small world.

           Thursday October 10 th ~

     Turned west for a little way's to see an old-timer I know.

           Friday October 11 th ~

     Arrived in Wakeeney, Kansas in time to minister in the Long Term Care section of the hospital for an appreciative group of residents and staff. Then hooked up with Old-Timer-Gene and spent some time together.

     Swung by the Courthouse in town and arranged with Chad (city policeman) to park at the Fairgrounds.

          Saturday October 12 th ~

     Spent time with Gene, including watching a University of Texas college football game.

          Sunday October 13 th ~

     Attended the "Redline Church of God" with Gene where I was given some time to share in song and testimony. These dear folks slipped me generous love offerings afterward. Sweet!
     We joined one of the members (Len) for lunch. Then back to Gene's for some Sunday afternoon football watch'n.

And so begins another week.  

           May The Lord Our God

Guard, Guide And Direct You.
In The Name Of Jesus. Amen!

Yours in Christ, Larry
