Good afternoon!
Hope you all are well!
Well, the storms missed us but hit a little north of here. We'll be in prayer for all those folks!
Saturday was fun. Only other animals the showed were Rob & Jeff, the oxen. But with them came Bill and Ponytail and their families! The kids got to hit a few balls and Bill drove the oxen and the horses for a little bit. And of course D Dodd drove them out here!
Plenty of room for lots of folks.
It looks like we are going to be moving to the spot that we were offered by Keith. He's got 5 acres and an RV trailer that we can stay in. That way we can get Bob & Casie all beefed up and ready to continue on the road journey. We miss it. We miss meeting and talking with people. We have met so many great ones along the way, and I know that God has lots more for us.
Mark is still working with Tommy. Meaning....lots of trips to the laundry mat! We only have so many clothes, you know ;) but that's ok. We know that we don't ever want to be a part of the "American Dream" again. Live simply, love God, no debt, just enough with more to give, and share the best news ever!! Ahhhhhhhhhh...sounds good.
Yesterday was catch up day and today is go back for the forgotten things day! LOL!!! Even with a list!!!
We are still up on Hallelujah Hill for the time being, loving the people we've met here.
Other than that, not too much new.
We need prayers for Mark, health issues!
And for Denise, safe travels. Always scary alone!
We'll talk longer tomorrow, but for now...
God bless each one of you and we keep you all in our prayers! We thank God for you all!

Days 162 & 163
Hi all!
Not much shakin' but the weather! It is HOT! With a high chance of tornadoes! The only draw back of the south. But...what ya gonna do? My prayer today is for the weather to clear.
Other than that, Bible study tonight and all is well.
Except Bob. He is out there yelling for his oats. Now that I feed them in the morning, I realize that he thinks he is part rooster. He will stand out there at between 6:30 & 7 and "talk" to the wagon. What a goof. Oh well, that means his tummy is good and he can get fat again! Only this time, we'll turn the fat to muscle as it comes!
Supposed to have a couple of oxen and maybe even some strange horses up here tomorrow for some exercise and fun! We'll see what the weather does tho. Wet field is no bueno for that!
That's about it! I'll keep you posted on wind and cart rides tomorrow!
As usual, I believe we are the most blessed folks around! God is so good!!
Have a great day in the Lord! God bless!

Days 160 & 161
Hello, again!
Today (Wednesday) is cloudy and overcast. It's supposed to rain more today, but the storm missed us last night! Windy and a little rain but no storm.
We went down for showers last night and when we were done, Robin (Clayton) knocked on the door and invited us over to the fellowship hall for pinto beans, corn bread, & sweet tea! Then Glen (Houpt) asked if we ever had southern fried corn bread? Of course we had not, so he gave us his. Mmmmmmmmmm!!!!! Thanks guys!! You know you gotta love a culture that fries just about everything!! And still live long healthy lives!!!! Hmmmm...the north might want to have a look at that! The rat race is the most unhealthy environment ever created!
Bob and Casie are doing fine and loving their space. Finally hit the hay a little. Bear and Sugar are enjoying their lives as bed potatoes. Glad we have them all along for the company.
Funny story. I went to the laundry mat the other day. There was an attendant there reading a magazine quietly. I was looking for a fish place I had seen earlier so I asked her if she was familiar with the area. We chatted for a bit before she asked what gave us the idea to do this trip? So, of course, I told her. I said, the Lord. She said, what? I repeated that the Lord had sent us on this journey. She just looked at me and said uh-huh. Then she sent a text. That was it! Her phone never stopped jingling again the rest of the time I was there! And our conversation was over. LOL!!! I can just imagine what those text were about! We were probably every kind of crazy! But, maybe she was just speechless! Ha Ha! With all the different reactions we get, I just thought it was funny. Maybe you had to be there ;)
Comments:
Jenny...missed us, thank God! Miss you guys!
Rachel...Safe and sound. We have a good look out!
So, chores today, church tonight. Sure is great being where we can hear the Word regularly!
God bless. Talk to you tomoorrow!

Days 158 & 159
Howdy!
All's well in Corinth, MS! Had a couple of busy days! Sunday is always busy with 2 church services and playing catch up and keep up! Too busy with Mark at work all day M-F! Mondays are always busy with make up work!
We moved Bob and Casie (actual correct spelling from her registry papers) to a much larger spot in the field. Got them a new round bale of hay but they are still working on the grass! Barely even touched the hay yet! That's odd for Bob the hay baby! :) Oh well, when the grass is gone.....
We are still meeting people here on the hill! Great place to be! Still waiting on the Lord for direction! And taking each day, one at a time.
God Bless!

HI!!!!! Looks like Google worked out it's own kinks! YAY!!!
Let's see...things have changed a little bit. You'll remember Tommy Callahan. He is the gentleman that directed us here. Well, he stopped by Tuesday evening and asked Mark if he wanted to go to work in the morning! So he's been off early every morning since Wednesday. See? God lead us all this way, and then for some reason, unknown to us, we just felt like suddenly, there was no more. Now we knew from the start that we would be resting up when we got this far, but honestly, we've been here way longer than we ever thought we would be. Thank the good Lord for being parked in such an awesome spot with a church full of folks that understand "waiting on the Lord". So, I was thinking the other day, when Mark got a job, and people started telling us they were looking for a place for us of our own, God knows better than us what He wants. I looked at Bob, and yes he is starting to gain some weight back, but not enough for any distance traveling. So...maybe it's him that God is helping here. We know that the pastor has told us to stay as long as we need to, but after all these miles, we start to feel like we don't want to wear out our welcome. You know what I mean?? I also think that if we put Bob back on the road full time, we might just kill him. He really does need the rest. He's antsy enough and healthy enough, don't get me wrong, but just some general fat would do that boy wonders!
Sooooo...if any one in the area knows of about 5 acres that we could rent or stay at, close by, with water and electric and maybe a small shed or barn, please let us know. We are just praying for God's will and not our own at this point. He will tell us what to do next when it's time.
I have taken on the morning chores with Mark gone for the day. So far, so good. I still don't move those two by myself, so anything beyond feeding, watering, and talking to them, they have to wait for. I don't know if I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Bob finally did kick me. That was pleasant. Both feet! God kept me from anything beyond a good knot and bruises, thank You Lord. Anyway, I am very cautious around him but have taken over leading him and feeding him (when Mark's here). Maybe this way he'll get the picture that I'm one of the bosses here! He's such a snot!
So, I thank everyone for your prayers for us and ask that you will pray with us for God's will in our next step. This we know, the journey is not over. We both feel that. So, stick with us and God willing the blog will continue working so we can continue to post prayer requests!
There is one. Ruth. A man said she lives down the road from here and she is just in need of prayer. Salvation would be the best for her. God can fix everything else then too.
And for Mark. He's working in a shop at a young man's job so if you can pray for the aches and pains to go quickly, we wouold appreciate that.
Also, Brother Bill's wife has been sick for some time. She's showing improvement, but I think with some extra prayers, she could be healed!
Thanks, again and God bless!

Days 144, 145, 146, & 147
Hi All!!
We're still here on Hallelujah Hill! We are so blessed to have been directed here. All are getting some rest and lots of the Word! We have been to a couple of churches with folks we met here. The Callahan's have taken us to their church, and the Day's have taken us to their church, and the church right here is within walking distance so we have been taking advantage of all the services we can get to. Mr. David Dodd has had Mark out early and late at various men's groups that he attends and we are so happy to be among a great Christain community! Thank you all.
Bob and Casey are on their 4th spot here. It just keeps raining! Soggy, soggy ground. They are happy, tho! We've been very diligent about keeping that fence hot since their escape! Chasing them in the rain and mud is just no fun!
We still meet people. We are parked right off the highway so people can see us as they drive down 45. We're right off the exit! This is the place that the Vietnam Memorial Wall will be in June. It was here last year, as well. That's pretty cool!
The weather has been so-so. It got downright cold for a couple of days! A little flurry of snow, some sleet, lots of rain...but today was warmer. Whew!
So, we don't have much going on in the way of adventure while we're still. Claude and Jean brought over and dropped off an excercise cart today so we can hitch up the kids and wear a little extra energy off so you might want to stay tuned in case they forgot their jobs and we have some "retraining" yucks!! But after 1000 miles...they probably have it down pat. We'll see. I just hope the church doesn't think we're moving in on them! Just as soon as the Lord says MOVE...we'll be on our way!
Jerry and Geradine Sweat brought us some hay just in the knick of time the other day! Adam Day brought us some a couple of days before that and it was gone. So, Keith brought a few bales yesterday and today we were able to locate and buy a small round bale! So we're set if we need to go. Bales to load for the road. God always provides!
We need to send up some prayers for Rick Hodgin. He lost his mother in January and is struggling a bit. He needs some peace and comfort. We are so sorry for your loss, Rick.
We also had alot of company today! The ladies that we met last night brought us over an awesome lunch! They all home school their kids so the kids came too! Bob and Casey loved them and their handsful of green grass from outside the pen! They were, Reba Hancock, she asks for prayer for her husband Billy, Amanda Harris with Karlee, Mary Ellen, & Joshua. Barbara, Ashley, ans Aylah Chelmowski. Ans Patricia, Brenna, and Seth Stephenson. Thanks for liunch and the visit!
Can we all also pray for C.B. III? He is having some health issues, the most recent being knee surgery and sleep apnea combined with the heart stopping now and then when he stops breathing in his sleep.
Thank you for joining us in prayer for all these needs! You all are faithful, for sure!
Comments:
Cindy...It WAS cold!!! Down to rain now!
Rach...keep healing! We do meet lots of people just sitting here, don't we?
Rick...The Lord is bringing your relief. He knows your pain.
pastor Jaime...we heard about that festival. Today we learned that at one point it was shut down because the slug burgers were NOT FDA approved! But it got all straight and back on the horizon!
Well, that's it for tonight. We have a few invites for tomorrow so we'll see what God has in the mix for us! Should be fun whatever we do! Working for the Lord is just an awesome job! He's a great boss whose only requirement is that we mention His name and we'll do fine! What could be better?!?!?!
So, good night and God bless you all! (Y'all)
