Sunday's Coming

Good morning,

We are here at Kerrville, Texas, Johnson Creek RV Resort and feeling very blessed.

I urge each of you to be in prayer for all those that have been effected by these terrible storms. My heart goes out to those who lost love ones. I wish I had that great word to make it all better to make joy return. I was reading this morning and I came upon this:

Real joy does not come from favorable economic conditions, being accepted by society, or by owning a luxury car. These bring only temporary happiness at best. Joy comes from one thing alone: a sure knowledge that you are saved through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Real joy comes from knowing that your sins are forgiven, that you are in right standing with God, and that He is working all things together for your eternal good, preparing an eternal home for you.

"Rejoice always" (1 Thessalonians 5:16).

Let me leave you today on the lighter side.

"A member of my staff asked me when I was going to retire. 
I said, 'When I can no longer hear the sound of laughter.' 
He said, 'That never stopped you before.'"  - Bob Hope

Hellman's Mayo*

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery on May 5th in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.  True fact.

This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.

The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.

The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko De Mayo.

You did laugh , didn't you?

LaVon and I are truly thankful to God for each of you. Thank you for your continual support and interest in our ministry by investing yourself in many ways as partners with us: by prayer, e-mails, phone calls and your financial gifts. Without any of these we could not continue what God has called us to do and that is to share the living water with the world through the RV ministry.


Have a great day, love you, pass it on.

Sunday's Coming

Good morning,

We are here at Kerrville, Texas, Johnson Creek RV Resort. We had our first service last Sunday and was greatly surprised as we had 16 campers come to church. (It's a small park.)

This is a very peaceful place and as I go to the creek, I have my quiet time praying for all of you. So if you have a special request, please let me know and I will join you in prayer.

I was reading this morning and I came upon the following. When you read it, I'm sure you have heard it before if you have ever heard me preach.

This Is The Day...

This is the day...
that you get to begin a new week.
This is the day...
that you're loved just as you are.
{1 John 4:18}
This is the day...
you have everything you need.
{2 Peter 1:3}
This is the day...
that victory is yours.
{Romans 8:37}
This is the day...
that God has made.
{Psalm 118:24}
There's never been one like it before and there will never be again. You're in this moment, time, place for a purpose and you've got what it takes to fulfill it.So to say it like we do in the South...
Go get 'em, friend!

Sunday's Coming

Good morning, 

We will be on the road again today. We have been in Waco,Texas. We leave for our summer assignment, Kerrville, Texas, at Johnson Creek RV Resort.

We continue to ask for your prayers and support as you all know that gas continues to go up.

When we arrived in Waco and setting up I tripped and fell resulting in a broken rib.  Needless to say, this has been a trying week.  I have been weary and tired all week but through it all, as I read in Mathew how if I come to Jesus and give him my burdens, He would give me rest and He has.  Praise the Lord!

A Parable:

The driver of a wagon was on his way to market when he overtook an old man carrying a heavy load. Taking compassion on him, the driver invited the old man to ride in the wagon. Gratefully the old man accepted. After a few minutes, the driver turned to see how the man was doing. To his surprise, he found him still straining under the heavy weight. He had not taken the burden off his shoulders. The old man explained, “I knew you would carry me, but I did not know you would also carry my burden.”

People today seem to be so beat down by the everyday struggles of life. They seem to be so very tired and weary. Too many of us do the same thing as the old man, we come to Jesus but we continue to carry our burdens. Whatever is going on in your life today give it to Jesus. He will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28 - 30 (ASV) ²⁸Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

LaVon and I are truly thankful to God for each of you. Thank you for your continual support and interest in our ministry by investing yourself in many ways as partners with us: by prayer, e-mails, phone calls and your financial gifts. Without any of these we could not continue what God has called us to do and that is to share the living water with the world through the RV ministry.

Good morning,

We are on the road again. We have been in the Norman, Oklahoma area and we leave for Waco, Texas this morning. We continue to ask for your prayers and support as you all know that gas continues to go up and our funds go down during the summer.  We praise God that He is faithful and always provides what we need.

A Good Job Done*
The farmer's son was returning from the market with a crate of chickens his father had entrusted to him, when all of a sudden the box fell and broke open. Chickens scurried off in different directions, but the determined boy walked all over the neighborhood scooping up the wayward birds and returning them to the repaired crate. Hoping he had found them all, the boy reluctantly returned home, expecting the worst.
"Pa, the chickens got loose," the boy confessed sadly, "but I managed to find all twelve of them."
"Well, you done a good job, son," the farmer beamed, "because you only left with seven."

Matthew 25:21 "His lord said unto him, ’Well done thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter into the joy of thy Lord."

For those of us who use the talents and abilities that Almighty God has blessed us with in service to the Lord God Almighty and others, He will say: "Well done...Enter into the joy of the Lord!"
May God Bless you and keep you today and may He say “Well done my good and faithful servant.”

LaVon and I are truly thankful to God for each of you. Thank you for your continual support and interest in our ministry by investing yourself in many ways as partners with us: by prayer, e-mails, phone calls and your financial gifts.
