Travel day...count your blessings

Too many blessings to count. We were all exhausted from the week and anxious to get on the plane to catch up on sleep. Thankfully, Buddy and my father in law Jerry can pretty much sleep on a bed of rocks. I'm no slouch in that department either. Snoozing on the 3.5 hour flight to Houston was refreshing. However, the 'mystery beef and swiss' sandwich served on the plane was not. This might explain why I left a binder in the bathroom stall at the airport, nearly causing us to miss our connecting flight...(see Buddy's previous post.)

Landing in Alexandria and all the events that followed are nothing short of amazing. Despite all the obstacles, primary of which every single room to rent in this area was booked and double booked due to relief workers and disaster victims, God provided not only a place to rest our heads, but he filled our stomachs with good 'ol Q, gave us great fellowship with the pulpit minister here at the Pineville Church of Christ, and He's provided us with an office here at the church building, computer access and all. The church kitchen is full of food (for late night foraging) and there are 2 showers to wash off the road funk.

I told Jerry that he better hang on, because this is going to be one full on wild ride...his response? Amen, son! What a blast to sit back, be faithful, and watch God work to move mountains for his people. I look forward to witnessing more of God's promises and miracles in the days to come.

God's blessings to you all.
