    "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own? "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."

Luke 16:10-13

          Monday October 17 th ~

     Last week I had a bout with a flu bug. It traumatized my insides which are still mending. And of course I shouldn't go into a nursing home for a few more days, to make sure I don't spread this.

          Tuesday October 18 th ~

     Did a little walking. I'm on the mend.

          Wednesday October 19 th ~

     In La Crosse, Kansas the "First Christian Church" brings in about thirty children after school for a service, crafts and a meal prior to parents picking them up. The pastor (Mark) gave me the opportunity to share with the kids in the sanctuary for their service. I sang a few songs. Presented the "Australian Mission Trip" slide show on the big screen. And took some time to answer questions from the little-ones. A sweet time.

          Thursday October 20 th ~

     Continuing southeast, I stopped in Kinsley, Kansas and ministered at their nursing home for about ten folks.

          Friday October 21 st ~

     Angled across the far west side of Oklahoma to Clayton, New Mexico where I was able to sing for some folks in their nursing home.

          Saturday October 22 nd ~

     Drove to "Beulah Retreat" just outside of Albuquerque. Jerry & Annette (founders of "Faith Comes by Hearing") live on this five acre place and provide a place to rest for ministers/missionaries. For the fourth year in a row I get to stop for a few days and say hi.

          Sunday October 23 rd ~

     Attended an Assembly of God church nearby where I was given the honor of sharing a bit during the service.

     A family from Egypt (who live on the property at Beulah Retreat) had me over for dinner this evening for some wonderful Christian fellowship.

          

And so begins another week.

    A song of ascents. Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you. I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
Psalm 130:1-6

          Monday October 3 rd ~

     Started off this week in Dubois, Wyoming where I published from the "Mountain Grace" church. Then drove east, stopping in Fort Washakie on the "Wind River Indian Reservation" where I was able to share at the "Morning Star" nursing home.

          Tuesday October 4 th ~

     Crossed the border into Nebraska and sang at the nursing home in the small town of Kimball. Then just a few miles east of there I stopped at a small RV Park where the owner (Lynn); upon learning of the ministry, gave me a night for half price ($10). Then a moment later, gave the $10 back, providing a free night.
     It is amazing how this gesture, much more than the money, encourages me and lifts my spirit. MGBH!

     Published from the "Willow Bay Baptist" church in American Falls, Idaho. Then sang at the "Spring Creek Manor" assisted living facility for the folks.

     Ministered at the nursing home attached to the hospital here in American Falls.

          Wednesday September 28 th ~
