The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. (Psalm 24:1) We saw just a small part of God's handy work during our travels, but praises be to Him for all that we saw of His beautiful creation.

Rebecca and I had a great trip to Texas and New Mexico last week. We spent time with family in Texas, the Corrales', and had a great time sight seeing in New Mexico. We went to fellowship on Sabbath at the Heart of Worship CoG7 church in San Antonio. We met new Brethren and was able to visit with others we use to fellowship with while living in San Antonio years ago. In New Mexico the Glorieta Conference Center brought flashbacks from 31 years ago. As we looked around we kept thinking about and verbalizing memories from so long ago. It is such a romantic place as well as a great place to gather together to worship our Lord and Savior. We visited New Mexico Hall where we first met and took pictures inside and out. There was a worship service going on as we visited the auditorium. It reminded me of the services we had there in 1979. I can still picture Pastor John Kiesz and his wife singing special music, and Garner Ted Armstrong speaking to the crowd as though it was yesterday. We savored every moment of our visit. The first after 31 years. Who knows when we will go again. Only our Lord. AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE!

On our way out of Texas, just west of El Paso, we ran over something on the interstate. I never saw anything, but we had an immediate flat. By the time we got the tire changed and replaced, we had spent 5 hours in the El Paso area. It was an experience which tested my/ our patience and attitudes. We stayed focused on our Lord, but were not perfect with thoughts and attitudes. Our God blessed and took care of us. He always prevails. What a Mighty God we serve!

We kept in touch with family and friends back home and else where while traveling to let them know where we were and that we were alright. After being on the road a week it was good to get back home to God's Country, Oklahoma. Thank you Lord for Your many blessings that are too innumerable to count. Home now till we get out on the road again.
