Greetings,
For this week's newsletter go to;

    Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Ephesians 6:10-12

         
          Monday October 21 st ~

     In Lyons, Kansas I was able to minister at the "Good Samaritan" nursing home. Arrived early enough to go up and down the hallways with the guitar Strumming-up-business. Including some time in the Alzheimer's Unit.

     The staff gathered quite a crowd in their combination Chapel/Activity Room which is a large high-ceiling building addition located in the courtyard between two wings.

     I then got over to the library to try and publish. Unfortunately their system was not sufficient. Maybe too slow of a connection or not enough bandwidth. Couldn't publish. Packed up and went over to Wendy's. Their's worked just fine.

     Stayed one more night in the city's free campground.

          Tuesday October 22 nd ~

     Back on the road headed south southeast.

          Wednesday October 23 rd ~

     Sang at the "Riverview Manor" in Oxford, Kansas. They were very encouraging.

          Thursday October 24 th ~

     Drove east to a campground outside of Altamont, Kansas where I was able to plug in the heater on this 29 degree night for ten dollars.

          Friday October 25 th ~

     Crossed into Oklahoma and sang at the "Eastwood Manor" in the town of Commerce.

     Encountered one of the rare instances where the staff caused almost continuous distractions. Over the years I've learned to try and control any mounting anger and simply maintain focus on the mission.

     Seems like many of the residents appreciated the effort.

          Saturday October 26 th ~

     Continued south across the northeast corner of Oklahoma to the Arkansas border.

          Sunday October 27 th ~

     Attended the Assembly of God church in Hartford, Arkansas where I enjoyed the honor of contributing a song during the morning service. Then at evening services I was given the opportunity to share during the traditional sermon time.

     These dear folks have provided me with the use of a semi furnished small house (which they call an apartment) across the street from the church. 
     Be nice to spread out a little for a few days.

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
