I've forgiven those who have hurt me, prayed for them and… Continue reading 12.31.13 Reflecting on God’s Blessings in 2013

10.30.13 God sat us in the right place!

When we chose where we sat for the parade on Monday night we didn’t know that God sat us in the right place, right next to the Aschliman family.  Roy and Nichole (the mom of the Aschliman family) talked a good bit during the parade and we enjoyed seeing their children have a great time at the parade.  Roy gave… Continue reading 10.30.13 God sat us in the right place!

Hallelujah! We most probably will get to leave our spot in the Fleetwood parking lot tomorrow after 10 days here. This has been the least liked part of our RV life so far sitting in a gravel parking lot in the freezing cold with no place to go. I’m very thankful it is coming to an… Continue reading 10.23.13 Hallelujah our time in Decatur may be over!!!

Last Monday we arrived at the Fleetwood Manufacturing Plant and were given the RV site #34 to park in. On Tuesday we took the fantabulous tour of the plant.  On Wednesday they called us in for our turn to be evaluated.  We did not have a scheduled appointment so we were considered a drop-in which meant our issues… Continue reading 10.19.13 Life in Decatur, Indiana
