Sept 1st - Still in TN

Kathy and I are still enjoying our time in Tennessee. We went to church at Cumberland Fellowship Sunday. We normally we go there when we are here. It seems to be a GREAT place to go to church. The Pastor delivered a good message, as usual. One of his statements that stuck in my mind was that most Christians are "educated far above their level of obedience". I think that is true for me. I know a lot more about being a Christian than I put into action.

Kathy has been cooking, cleaning and helping to get Wendy's double wide ready for viewing by prospective buyers. I've been cutting brush and wood.

Last time I was here I cut down a tree that I was afraid might fall on the motor home during a storm. While I was gone the top broke out of one of the other trees in the "clump". I cut it, and another tree in the "clump" down.

One of the trees was tall enough that we had to move the motor home over into the yard. I had cleaned up the top of the tree and we had moved the motor home back onto the driveway in the photo below.

I hauled the wood down to Tom's and split it in the afternoon.

About 3-4 hours is all the "work" I can handle in this warm weather. On the other hand it occurred to me today that I should be so thankful that I am healthy enough to be able to work 3-4 hours in the heat. All to often I am not nearly thankful enough for all my many blessings.

This afternoon we made reservations for a month long stay at the Alabama campground were we stayed last year. It is near Gulf Shores. We are supposed to "check in" on Dec 8th. After our stay there the plan is to "wander" down the Gulf coast to the near Surfside Beach, Texas. It is on the Gulf, almost due south of Houston. "Good Lord willing, and the creek don't rise" we  plan on being there for Marissa & Ryan's wedding Feb 21, 2015.

May God bless you and yours.
