Day 81

   81 and counting...seems like only yesterday I was wrestling with Bob & Casey from the seat of a borrowed cart trying to stay out of the ditches and work them up to 10 miles a day. Swelterin' in 90 plus heat and wonderin' what I got myself into.
   But look at the dynamic duo (Bob & Casey) now. Dancin' and prancin' through the hills of Kentucky. If their Moms & Dads could only see them now! How proud they would be! So we did about 15 miles today. Few more than we planned but that's the way it is out here sometimes. Findin' a place for all the kids isn't always easy. But here we are landed again...safe and sound. God is great!
   Well hats off and thanks to Terry and his neighbors for all the great hospitality.  And we keep his neighbor, Jo Ann Speaks and her whole family in our prayers!  We thank her, too, for her prayers for us. 
    So ya know we broke our evener again a few days back. Got a couple of lag bolts into the old oak before my wife snapped the heads off. No really. I've never told ya'll this ...but this woman is to be feared. She's got power I tell ya! And not just spiritually. This woman could put a'hurting on a badger. So anyway...I di-gress. The evener has been limpin' along just barely hanging together. And we pulled in to give the horses a blow & a quick drink and Pastor Gary Ashby stopped to see us. He asked if we needed hay or anything else. I said we were stocked pretty good right now. And he tells me that he has drafts and a wagon and all kinds of cool stuff we both could appreciate. So we talked for a while and he invited us in for the night. But he was a little outta our reach for today. So as he was leavin' he asked again ...I got harness and whatever you need...HEY my slow brain finally snapped into drive and remember the evener. He said sure I got one...keep goin' and I'll catch ya down the road. And he did. He not only brought an evener he brought one geared up. Plus he brought an extra center board in case his brakes. So I traded him an extra we had.It was too small for us...but we kept it in case of a roadside emergencey. He said it was perfect for his heflingers. How cool is that??? God is good. This man of faith brought us a dozen farm fresh eggs and a blessing to boot. And we are so thankful. I love it when God puts a plan together. We are so greatful. The pastors prayer request is that we pray that his church becomes spiritually stronger. More spiritual. Holy spirit please touch his church members and light them up with your light, with your life, and a vision of the spiritual realm battling around them. To be more sensative to your prodding & guiding. That we all listen for Gods voice and his will. And have the faith & courage to step out.
Down the road from Henderson, we met the Buddy's.  They pray for us and we'll all pray for Ryan and his family!
Christy Dowell prays for peace and the economy!
Hazel Cook stopped to give us a piece of cake and asks for prayer for her husband, Kenny.  His health is very bad.
Jody's friend has a pinched nerve or slipped disc, whichever...they need to find and fix it soon to avoid further damage.
John Tucker wants prayers for his grandson, Gabriel.  He is asking that God have and hold that little guy for all his life!
Tammy would like prayer for her 87 year old friend, Skipper's health.
