"Care Center" Fayette, Missouri

         "Everything they do (teachers of the law and the Pharisees) is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called 'Rabbi' by others.
Matthew 23:5-7

     Today I met Keith at the "Riverbend Heights" nursing home. Keith is a driver for a medical transport company who delivers residents to appointments and such. He exudes an uplifting, joyful personality. He shared with me, "Most all my passengers are Christians. We get to talking about Jesus and have a good time Praising God".

          Friday April 12 th ~

     Stopped at the "Ashley Manor" in Boonville, Missouri. Then on to the "Care Center" in Fayette.

     Many years ago the staff here gave me permission to park overnight on the property. Well, the night Charge Nurse did not get the message. Along about 3 in the morning, a policeman came knocking on the van. Thankfully, he believed me and squared it with the nurse.

     One year later, they made sure the night crew got the message. However, during the night they got a call from the 911 operator asking if they knew that someone was sleeping in their parking lot.

     We laugh about this every year.
