I think I have the "days" right...I'll have to ask my beautiful wife. The cold has descended upon us for a couple of days. Down in the teens last night and the wind was howling like an ol' wolf. I had to force myself out from under the covers this morning. But the sun was up and I knew Bob & Casey would be staring at the wagon. So I eased my warm feet to the cold floor (yikes) and peaked out the curtain....sure enuff! Staring at the wagon like they hadn't eaten in a week! So I turned the stove on to perk some coffee, got dressed, and wandered out with Bear and Sugar Ray. Ice on the water and a frozen hose. I had no idea this was coming. We haven't had any TV for a few weeks and forgot to get on line and look. Lucky I always pour a couple of buckets at night, for mornings just like this.
Nice thing about being down south, it will warm back up in a few days. We are still parked. We have water-electric-plenty of space for Bob & Casey and a loaned vehicle. This is a great resting spot. Two weeks rest does not visibly seem to have added weight to Bob. But if you feel his side his ribs are covered. And if you poke him in his front haunches he has layered up a little. Does that make sense? Well it took him 4 months, lots of miles, and an ulcer to take it off him. I don't reckon it is going to return any too quick.
If we stay much longer, a good brother offered an exercise cart to get the kids hooked up. A little exercise would be good for all three of us. I have to go on the hay search again. Anybody local who is reading this we sure could use some help. I have the horses about weaned off the alfalfa (thanks Josh, that was great hay) and eating some grass again. They just don't care for the Bermuda grass...but when in Rome...
They have a tradition down here...well I don't know if it's really a tradition...but...they have this burger. It's called a slug burger. Doesn't have much meat in it, it's mainly a dough of sorts with stuff in it. Nobody is disclosing the ingredients. It's all very secret and hush-hush! But it's fried...so how bad could it be? chuckle-chuckle!! I'm a firm believer that anything fried is better! 'course that's probably why I had 6 stents in my heart at 47 years old! They are great! A little onion, pickles and tomato and presto! Slug Burger! Ain't America a great place? Betcha! The whole town serves these things. The name did NOT have anything to do with the ingredients...that much we determined before hand. They used to cost a nickel and a nickel was referred to as a slug! Not a nickel anymore, but the name lingers on.
We have been gettin' spiritually fed since we got here. Three different churches and lots of great fellowship. So I guess our Lord has given each of us what we needed. The dogs have lots of room to run. The horses are getting fed and rested. And we are enjoying the rest and the peace of our Lord.
I have been stressing on getting moving. I had actually planned to leave a couple of times. But something has kept us here. Just in the habit of moving and ministering. Then we decided to look for a place to rest...and prayed for it...and now the Lord has provided it to us. Yet my brain is telling me to move. But the Holy Spirit has not prodded us. So I should be thankful and relaxing. Listening to and for God, and not talking, will probably be a life long struggle for me. Grin! I'm such a bag of flesh!
We met Whitney Yeager, and she has asked us to pray for James Sanders. They say he has cancer and have given him 2 months to live. Please pray for him and those that love him. Thanks
Please pray for Rachel's recovery after surgery.
And if I could be so bold...would you please join Deb and I in prayer for our brother-in-law Bob who is suffering from gout.
Would you please pray for Sophie? She is a 3 year old girl who has a temp of 106. Thank you much.
We met Rose McCormick. Her husband brought us a blackberry wine cake and it was moist and delicious. And she brought Bob & Casey a bale of hay. We are so thankful for both! She asked that we hold her up in our prayers. she has a few unspoken needs. God knows what they are.
Well I know there's not much new as we slowed down. We thank y'all for still keeping track of us and praying for the needs of others. Which is the most important section in any of our blogs.
watch for miracles, they happen every day. May God get all the glory. May the peace of our Lord be with each of you & yours. Talk to you again soon.
PS: Hope you folks don't mind that we don't write daily. We will again when we travel. We are spending extra time in the word and prayer. And I have started our 1st book....year 1.
HA!! You are all required to purchase at least one copy!
Thanks!

Day 139 & 140
Good evening to all!
Thought that we would peck away here a little bit prior to walking down for Wednesday Service with Brother Bill. Not a lot to tell. Just spending a couple of good days with good folks. I went to an early men's prayer/study meeting with brother David Dodd. What an outstanding fellow. He is a good Christian man. After study we went out and fed his oxen. They are the greatest.
Imagine goin' down the road with a team of oxen...no bridles...no reigns...just a long buggy stick.It's all about the verbal commands. How challenging!! I might at some point have to do that! Dave also has a nice collection of yokes. Some very old...all different sizes. David is not doing real good physically...so if you could pray for that brother I sure would appreciate it. David and his son have a tree trimming/removal & stump removal business. If you want to hire a good Christian man...of good character, I would highly recommend him.
So I will forward all the great information you gave us onto David. Thanks so very much.
On Tuesday morning, 3 gentlemen stopped by to see us that saw us on T.V. Wayne Voyles, Tommy Elk, and Sellus Frasier. They are building a Native Indian village and invited us out to stay a bit! We went out there today with Brother Bill and they have come quite far on their project. Pretty cool stuff they have out there!
Keith also invited us to stay at his place for a while. He came and took us there and he has one tempting lake out there! We haven't fished since the 1 lb. test caught the 17 1/2 inch large mouth bass!!
We also had a visit from Margaret Houpt. We actually met her the first day we pulled in here. She is a great lady that works at the school here. If it hadn't been for her helping us that day, we might have gone on before Brother Shane was reached with the direction we needed as to where to park!
Marge's husband needs prayer for the healing of a long illness.
Pastor Bill's wife also needs healing prayers.
Our Mom's could both use some prayers for their health problems. Mark's mom's eyes, Deb's mom's allergies.
Linda S. needs prayer for allergies and Larry for his wheat crop!
People stop by everyday. We don't always get their names but, we can tell you that we have heard some awesome testimonies while sitting in this spot! AWESOME!!! Healings, Salvations, you name it! Very inspiring!
Comments:
Bob...not sure about our next step. Gonna take some prayer time and see what He has on our agenda! And thanks for the info, we'll pass it along.
Rach... Corinth, Mississippi
Joan...yep, go figure! After only a week, Bob is showing improvement!
Marge...thanks, we'll pass the info on. Prayers for your husband.
Cindy...Aren't they cute?!
Dale...We remember you! Thanks, we'll let Dave know!
That's all for now!
Y'all have a great day!
God bless!

Days 136 & 137
We're still here!!!!
Still having a rest at the North Corinth Baptist Church! We went with Adam and Meg Day to their church last night for pizza and the movie "Courageous" Awesome movie and great company! Then this morning we went to service here and were blessed with Pastor Bill's preaching! We sure are getting caught up on our churching in this spot! Feels great!! So many times we end up just out of reach of a Sunday or Wednesday service. We can walk to this church!!!!
We got our morning exercise today! Oh about 5 am we heard the horses run passed the wagon! NOT GOOD!!!! They were out in the field by the time we got out there. Normally, we can just bang a bucket and they come running. That didn't work this time, tho, because they had just finished eating their buckets of oats set up for morning plus every other container they could kick or bite open! Ugh! So, when they saw us coming, they headed out the gate and across the road! Mark got them called back while I ran for their leads! Mark got Bob all contained so Casey wasn't hard. She did, however, take one more lap around the field and right on by me before she submitted! The fence is now repaired and prayerfully they will leave it alone. That's Casey's new pass time. Kicking and breaking the plastic stakes. She did get a zap after we got them put up and I must ashamedly admit...I cheered! They need a couple of good zaps to remind them what that fence is there for!!
We moved them yesterday to get them out of their private pond. Casey was having a great time running! Then we noticed Bob started stomping. FIRE ANTS!!!!!!! So, we moved the horses again!! That was yesterday afternoon tho, before the break out.
The other day we met David Dodd and his son Nathan. They say they always need prayers!!
Also, Sharon asked for prayer for her and her husband to be reunited soon. She is caring for her mother here and he is still in CA. Hard life. The Lord will care for your needs!
Rachel is having surgery on Tuesday so we'll all pray all goes well and answers are found.
Comments:
Sharon...Prayers for you and thank you.
Jennifer...No problem! Glad to hear that! And thank you! Love you guys
Rachel...Thank you
Cindy...HEY!!! We went to church for pizza and a movie last night too! Hi to the guys
Terri...Never even dreamed it woukld be this way! Thank you!
Crickette...Thank you!
Nita...HI!!! and thanks!
Adam and his friend came and took Mark up to Josh Young's for some alphalfa hay! Prayers for Deb for yet another test this week!
Thanks to everybody for all your help and all your prayers! We were going to head out tomorrow but it looks like it'll be another day or two. We won't be moving far when we do! Keith has invited us to stay at their place. He said they have FISHING!!! How could we possibly pass that up?!?!?!
Well, that's about all for the day!
God bless and we'll chat again soon!

Days 134 & 135
Howdy Pilgrims!
Just a quiet day at the ranch yesterday. Whew! Life has been a flurry of late. Not used to so much attention. Once your used to 3 miles an hour, and the relative solitude of the road, this all a little over whelming. But we have been having a blast.I sat and talked with this ol' cowboy, Cary Myers, yesterday for hours. And what a life he has lead rodeoing and horseshoing.He told of lots of adventures, but the best part was how God saved his life, and healed him 3 different times. He has had his neck broken, back broken, and an anurism burst behind his sternum, that was inoperable and yet here he is.They told his son he had a 3% chance to live.His son said "that's good enough...he'll make it!" And he was kind enough to sit for hours and share his life and testimony. If ya would be so kind...could you please pray for this brothers improved good health.
We also met Virgil Leadbetter and Ray Flanagan. Ray would like us to pray for his Son. He is struggling in his life. Broke his back, lost his leg. So please call out to the Holy Spirit and ask him to pray to our Father for a physical and spiritual healing. (Romans 8:26)
I tore the feed trailer apart today. Gonna let the rain clean it up for us a l;ittle. There is a huge pavilion where we are setting and we are making good use of it. We have out a lot of our under the bed (and hard to get to) stuff out, under it for easy access.
Punkin cooked up a venison roast that we got blessed with. She slow cooked it with some carrots (sorry Bob & Casey I ate um!) nice and slow...until it was falling apart. Man-o-man was that good. So nice to be stopped for a minute so we can actually cook & clean. Just do some of the things we used to take for granted.
Bear & sugar Ray are having a great stop. They can RUN! No kittens or farm cats around for them to tree or molest. No other dogs. Sugar even let us tiw her outside for a while. She has real issues with that normally. She was a tie out when animal control picked her up. Good thing too...I bought them this 50 pound bag of dog food....the cheap stuff...need I say more? They are pooping as much as the horses.So they are spending plenty of time outside. chuckle-chuckle!!
We had a problem that required a banker and Adam Day came down to help us. The fine gentleman at the bank who helped us is John Finlayson and we so much appreciate it if we could pray for his family. Thank you prayer warriors.
I am getting restless and ready to travel. I'm the only one in the group who is thouigh! So for the good of all I am controlling my urges. We are acually still scouting for a couple of good 2 week stops for the horses to regroup. We have started Bob on some Red Cell. I also got him to eat some vegtable oil (fat) on his oats last night. I tried once before and he wouldn't tough it. Last night he dove in and licked the bottom of the bucket. So that should help put some weight back on him if he keeps it up.
There have been so many folks by to visit. All good folks. This has been an outstanding stop. We thank all of you so much. I wanted to mention Trent Nethery. he stopped by with some lunch and invited us to Sunday night service. We have a few different invites. gonna be hard to say no to anyone. But what a great problem to be faced with. We spent so many weeks wishing we could hit a sevice...but it never worked out. We have truely been blessed. Trof our needsent surrendered to the ministry a few years ago and is in school. He would like us to pray that our Lord help in school. Lord bless him please.
We also met Bob McAfee. He would like us to pray for Dot Curtis, she needs prayer for her health problems. He would also appeciate it if we would pray for Stan Hughes, he has advanced colin cancer. I love when people ask for prayer. Acknowledging that God can meet all of our needs. And having the faith and courage to speak them out loud to fellow believers, but still stangers they never met.

Day 133
What a flurry this day started out to be! Brother Shane invited us to speak at chapel about our journey. So far so good. Then a text that the newspaper was sending a reporter. Ok. Then a text that the T.V. station was sending a man from Tupelo! Good Heaven's!! We sure got popular all of a sudden!! LOL! As long as the glory goes to God...all's good!
We met Pastor Bill Wages his morning! Awesome man! We also met Jacky Feazel, Allen Davis, and Lawrence Davis. And all before 10 o'clock chapel!!!
Chapel was great! Lots of songs, and we just love to sing and hear people sing for the Lord! This little school has some huge talent!! We got to pray and just had a great time! More tonight at the 7 o'clock service!
Today brother Shane brought almost the entire school down to meet us and hear about the wagon and horses. I will post those pictures tomorrow. Again, great bunch of young people.
We went to lunch with Brothers Bill and Shane then off to the feed store for more horse fuel. Good company and great conversation!
Some people came out to see us today with prayer requests!
Genice and Gerald Sellers. They asked for prayer for their son and his wife. He went to rehab and they've lost their children. We pray that the Lord's will is done in that situation. And for their niece's husband who is being tormented with drugs and alcohol problems.
Louise Brewer saw the TV clip and came out. She and her husband used to go for wagon rides. He passed away almost 2 years ago. She is having trouble with getting her belongings (including her mule) from blended family members after all this time. Again, the Lord's will for that situation.
Here is the link to the TV report.

If all you can get is the story in text, just go to http://www.wtva.com/ and when you see the story line you can click on video. Enjoy!
So, evening service was just as awesome as morning chapel. Met some more great folks. Sang great songs And was treated to a few songs from the quartet! Just like listening to the old Elvis gospel songs!
That was our blessed day! We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Jennifer...No problem! We'll be praying for good results on Friday! Thanks for your prayers!

Day 132
Hi all!
We are on hiatus!! Much needed for all of us! Monday afternoon we crossed into MS! We were directed to the North Corinth Baptist Church just off 45. What a great place and great people!
Of course, the first day off is never really a day off. We worked on laundry and cleaning (never ending) and setting ourselves up.
We did, however, have some fun time! The church also has a school (academy) and we were visited by Brother Shane (pastor) and a few of his little (or younger) folks.
We also met Pastor Bill Wages' (senior pastor) grand daughter Kacie Harden and her son Braiden!
So much energy in these students and they are all great!
Here they are:
In no particular order, we met...Brother Shane Casabella, Tammy Spencer, Miranda Hale, Jackson Trammel, Shelby Jourdan, Cierra Hurd, Seth Holliday, Alexander Jerden, Josephine Jerden, Victoria Jerden, Alicia Goss, Katie McCann, Brennan, Aidan Klitzke, Addie Spencer, Tate Mitchell, Ben Callahan, Blake Harville, and Christian Holliday.
The Callahan's are folks we met up in Pinson, TN. Tommy made the call to the church to set us up here and then he, his wife and their children took us out for mexican supper! Thank you so much you guys for all your help and what you've done for us! We pray that the Lord blesses you for your kindness.
We also pray for North Corinth Baptist Church. For their long and successful school and for their hospitality to people just passing through! And just that God blesses this church. Thank you!
Then Meg Day brought us out some pictures that she took at their house! Good looking kids! Thank you!
Prayers for our sis-in-law that her and the doctors can pick the perfect course of action for some health issues.
An urgent prayer for Jesse. He accidentally shot his own hand and needs prayer for healing, guiding the doctors hand while fixing the wound, and that the insurance will cover the car that was also struck by the bullet!
Rachel needs prayer for medical answers.
A prayer request for a new friend. God knows who and the personal struggles that need his attention. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness to us all!

So, that's Tuesday.
Thanks for following our journey and God bless!
