My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger, if you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth. Do this, my son, to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands: Go--to the point of exhaustion-- and give your neighbor no rest! Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids. Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the Fowler.
Proverbs 6:1-5

             Monday March 10 th  ~
       Yesterday I got a call from a couple (Sarah & Tom) who live in Alabama, offering their Class B Motorhome for the ministry.
     Sent out the newsletter this morning from the Baptist church here in Macomb, Missouri, then headed southeast towards Alabama.
          Tuesday March 11 th ~
     Yesterday I drove through Arkansas, Tennessee and on into Mississippi.
     Today I stopped in Grenada, Mississippi and sang at "Grace Health & Rehab", then continued on into the southeast part of the State.
          Wednesday March 12 th ~
     Arrived in Brewton, Alabama along about noon and got a look at the ministry's new "Tour Bus". Here is a picture (Click Here).
     Attended mid-week services at the "Dogwood Hills Assembly of God" where I shared about this provision and sang "Mini Motorhome Medley".
          Thursday March 13 th ~
               A busy day!
          Over to the Court House to transfer the title and register new plates for the rig.
     Spent the rest of the day emptying out the minivan, dismantling the bed, curtains and such. Wore myself out.
          Friday March 14 th ~
     Finished returning the minivan to Normal condition.
     A couple (Eddie & Lacie) from the church had expressed a desire for the minivan. We got the paperwork taken care of for that today. I watched with mixed feelings as they drove it away.
          Saturday March 15 th ~
     Having some minor difficulty controlling the Blood Sugar with all the physical activity.
     Did an oil change on the rig and spent the remainder of the day trying to rest.
          Sunday March 16 th ~
     Drove to church early. As I arrived a heavy rain began which revealed a bad roof leak and dry-rot around the skylight. I was able to park it back under the shed at S & T's to get it out of the rain.
     Rode to church with Sarah and then again in the evening when the congregation gathered at "The Well" to say goodbye to one of their members returning to Ethiopia.
     While there, I met James who has experience with RV repair and offered to help me with the roof problem.
          ("The Well" is a large Quonset Hut in Brewton which used to be the VFW. Several years ago it was donated to this group who have been refurbishing it into a fellowship hall among other uses.)
      
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

As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."
Matthew 3: 16, 17
