Wacky Waco

9-5-10 2PM


We just left Waco Texas. We have encountered our first, no make that second little glitch. Very little. We are driving in a van headed for Costa Rica singing along to the Revelation Song. What could be better. The first one was a state patrol stop. Our temporary licenses were not taped to our trailer because of the danger of them getting damaged. We got a warning and taped them on. After we got under way our water temp began to climb, and our AC quit. We drove around a neighborhood until we saw someone with a hose. They were having a BBQ and I think we were the entertainment. We put water in to see if that would help, but not to be. We are continuing on without AC, but the temp seems stable.

After leaving Waco, the AC seemed to come back and the temp normalized.  It is nice to have it. Although it is cooling off a bit as we get close to the sea.  I think we are at sea level.  There are palm trees and seagulls around.

Earlier we left the Strengs lovely home. They are the kind of people that seem instantly like family. So gracious. They basically gave up 3 days for us, just taking care of us and showing us around, etc. Besides which they are very fun and on fire for the Lord. You go guys!!

Yesterday afternoon we went to church at Gateway Church.  It is very well known for the worship.  Rod says they produce the most new worship songs second only to Hillsong.  It was amazing.  Huge, modern, beautiful, and the people there really seem to be worshipping.  I have never been in a church so big.  It is already too small, and they are building a Huger campus which will be done in November.  A great place to go to get a blast of good worship.

Last night we had a devo time. Dale gave a message, and 2 of the Streng’s couple friends came over with fresh homemade peach cobbler. The Millers, and the Cranors. Like-minded people of God. They were both encouraging and entertaining. The Millers and the Strengs are headed for Novia Scotia this week.

We are planning to stop in Pharr for the night, God willing, and then hit the border in the am.

We did get to Pharr and our motel is pretty decent. I am happy because I can send this out.  Who knows when the next post will go out. We are treating ourselves to a good place tonight.  I think we may do some van sleeping soon.  It is now 10:20 I think.  We were on the road about 12 hours.  Not too bad although great to be unfolded at last.
