Good morning, from Norman, Oklahoma.
We have had a great time seeing family and friends. The time is going by fast as we 0nly have a few more days then we're off to Tulsa.
I did make the annual Baptist association meeting and caught up with many pastor friends. We heard a great message from one of the new pastors. He encouraged us to go forward even in the trials we face. I was reading this week and Adrian Rogers had this to say about our trials:

Thankful in Trials
If you are a child of God, you ought to be able to thank God every moment of every day no matter what happens to you.
Have you ever stopped to thank God for the water that you drink? Did you know that in some countries in the world, the majority of the population doesn’t have reasonably pure drinking water? Millions of people die annually just from water-related diseases. If you wear a hearing aid, do you ever thank God for that? Some people wish they had a hearing aide. If you are a student in the midst of final exams, do you thank God that you have an exam to take? There are many who wish they could afford college. Do you thank God for your next breath?
Take whatever it is that looks like a trial in your life today and thank God for it! Thank Him every time the thought enters your mind to grumble or complain.
“Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name, make known His deeds among the people.” 1 Chronicles 16:8
May God be blessed in your life today!
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 waterwith the world through the RV ministry.
Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
