Leaks!!!

I woke up early this morning to find what appears to be a leak somewhere in the bathroom, either around the toilet or the shower. The carpet outside the doorway is wet and it must be repaired. So, I am going to unplug things and head toward the RV service center while the boys are still sleeping. Maybe they will take a walk-in customer and get us taken care of so we can continue enjoying our summer! Say a prayer for us today... More later

$85 later the leak is repaired. I am amazed there is a two week wait for RV service. I'm even more amazed at how they took me in as the first customer of the day. And I'm even more amazed at the great conversation I had with the young man who repaired our leak. It seems there was a leak in the toilet. It also seems there are many people in the world who are hurting, who suffer from past setbacks in their lives, people who are reaching out for help from someone who may possibly have an answer to their lives. My answer is Jesus. This young man just lost his dad to a heart attack at the age of 55. I just lost my mother in April. We both shared our hearts, and simply talking about things sometimes is a great help. He seemed sympathetic to us since we travel and help churches out with their music. (I guess I would feel sorry for me too. Ha!) All in all, God had his reasons for allowing me to procrastinate until today to get the leak repaired. My path crossed with a hurting individual who may come hear us play this weekend. More than that, he might connect with a local church here that can offer him some help, and understanding to life's dissapointments. We are all on a journey to find peace, joy, and happiness for our lives.

A side-trip to Wal-Mart was successful to the tune of $50. That will hold us for a while. As I sit here typing this blog, a fan is blowing in the back near the bathroom to dry the carpet. Colton is sitting beside me singing falsetto (worse than the Bee Gees), which is more annoying than you could ever imagine. Spencer is playing his 357,472,891th game of the summer on Xbox. Tate is... oh my goodness! Where is Tate?!?!

We finally found Tate and got everyone to dinner on time. The bishop's wife made for us, are you ready for this? Barbeque chicken, cream style corn, buttered rice, lima beans, homemade biscuits, sweet tea, and to top it all off... peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream!!! Aren't you feeling sorry for us now? I can count on probably less than 4 or 5 fingers, no, probably on two fingers (now that my mom is passed away) of people I know who make homemade biscuits. Is it a lost art? It is a dying talent. Pause... I just re-read the list of items we had for supper! Amazing!

After the boys got showered and straightened up the RV, I went next door to our friend Nate Whitley's rv and spent some quality time with him discussing life's goals and making a difference in the lives of others. It is very refreshing to meet a young person (28 years old) who is filled with passion, and talent to go with it. I believe you'll be hearing of great things coming from the life of Nate Whitley. He is an incredible speaker, and full of energy. (He is an awesome drummer too!) Colton just informed me that tomorrow is "wash day". I had better get to bed and rest up for tomorrow's activities.
