Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Saturday, July 13 It was the first year this show was held at Lebanon Expo, which made it closer for us to take the chapel (FaithLife Center) and represent TFC Global. There were a lot of Peterbilt trucks since Hunter Truck was a Title Sponsor. I should have had someone stand next to this truck […]
June 22 & 23 The featured antique truck in North Hall It is interesting that the lighting in the hall made the photos appear that the truck is speckled. 🙂 Rigidply supplied us with a beautiful rig for our stage. The Kingsmen Quartet did a fabulous job of blessing Saturday evening’s audience with great gospel […]
Saturday, June 22 The first five pictures are of what I saw as I walked toward the fairground buildings – following the Parade of Trucks. Making sure his truck wheels look good. I liked his reflection in the chrome of the truck parked next to him. You can see his hat in the upper right […]
TFC Truck Rally 2019 – June 22 Cerwin led the parade of trucks back into the fairgrounds at 11:50 – just fifty minutes after leaving. I tried to choose a variety of trucks and colors for this post. If you want to see all 214 pictures I took of the returning trucks, go to my […]
Saturday, June 22 Cerwin was ready to lead the Parade of Trucks by 11:00 am. Our truck parkers and the fire police did an amazing job of getting the trucks on the road. The fairgrounds was emptied in 45 minutes. Ten minutes later they began re-entering the fairgrounds. If you want to see all 206 […]
Saturday, June 22 Love this old pickup truck. Trucks came in a continuous stream from 9:30 to 10:30. Oh, look, here comes the Weaver family. Kate is our niece. Lincoln making sure that he can see me. 🙂 The A-Z AG Repair truck holds my favorite Nathaniel, Abby, and Anthony. The fairground was getting full. […]
The other day Transport For Christ had a Zoom Video Conference. (This is a picture of Bunny, Ron, Mike and Joe in the office board room – on my computer screen.) We could see each participant’s name on top of the screen – and their pictures if they had a camera on their computer. We […]
Saturday, June 15 We started our day in the Food Court area with egg sandwiches. The boys did not find any more 1969 or 1970 trucks (their parent’s birth years) so I took a few pictures of interesting trucks – among the field of 845. Somebody did a good chainsaw carving to make this bulldog. […]
Friday, June 14 This is one of my favorite places to take TFC’s mobile chapel. Maybe it’s because we are there for two days, so there is plenty of time to see the trucks and meet lots of people. Our view from the chapel door. This year we had Jared and Jesse along, because their […]
Saturday Evening, June 8 Continued from last night’s post. We were located in the “Service Village”. The therapy animals were in front of us. This one, a Bernese Mountain Dog, is a gentle giant and larger than some ponies. 🙂 As I walked away from the therapy dogs, the train passed me on the back […]
Saturday Evening, June 8 Slate Hill Mennonite Church, Camp Hill, does an amazing job of reaching out to the community with their one-night event. The TFC Mobile Chapel is part of their “service village” – an area where community and ministry services have an opportunity to meet those who attend. After the village was set […]
Sunday, May 12 Waiting for our turn to leave the parking lot. We are on our way! Spectators were fewer than usual and many were under umbrellas. As we got out on the road the people were watching from their vehicles. There are usually lots of people on this bridge, but this year only one […]
Tuesday Afternoon, November 6 Cerwin needed to make some minor repairs, hopefully to fix a major problem – a leak when it rains. He checked the roof and is pretty sure there is no problem there. He prepared vent covers, because there have been problems with them at other chapels. The vents are necessary, but […]
Monday, November 5 and Tuesday, November 6 Our trip began in rain – after Cerwin’s 9 am checkup with the doctor who performed his hernia surgery. He was released to full work duty. The surgeon said Cerwin was his poster person for successful surgery. 🙂 It was a rainy, cloudy day The leaves would have […]
Sunday, October 21 We were at Grace Church early (7 am) so the chapel would be in place and set up by the time people began arriving. Joe Russell drove for Cerwin – as he was restricted from driving a rig due to his hernia. Our first visitors were brought to the chapel by Chaplain […]
Saturday Morning, October 20 We were up early to be at the Lancaster Prayer Breakfast by 7:30 am. Because we had to have the at the Harrisburg Airport by 10 am, they had the devotional part of the breakfast first.

Thursday, October 18 We arrived at The Welcoming Place about 9:30 am to bring Michael and Susan DeBay (Ontario, California, Chaplain) home with us for two days.

Sunday, October 1 This follows the Bucks-Montgomery post I entered the day before Cerwin’s surgery. By the way, Cerwin is doing very well and has almost no pain today. Our nurse daughter-in-law stopped in this evening and encouraged him to start taking his pain pills every 5 hours instead of every 4 hours. Back to […]

We brought TFC’s Mobile Chapel to Bucks Montgomery’s Truck Show and Dinner Concert yesterday, planning to stay on the chapel overnight because it is usually 10 pm before we can close the chapel and we have a two-hour drive home. More than that because of taking the chapel to the Marietta Office, then getting in […]

Our first stop – on the PA Turnpike – was Bowmansville Travel Plaza for a quick lunch. After going through the security gate, I called Howard who guided us through […]
Saturday, July 28 We were on the road shortly after 5:30 am – facing a beautiful moon. The misty morning added beauty to the early morning drive. The York-Adams Chapter of TFC thought this event would be a good place to represent TFC and share the gospel with some people from their area. It was […]
Tuesday, July 24 As usual, the ladies at the TFC office made the shipping room table look beautiful. I liked Dan’s choice of wording when he decorated the cake. Jeff’s passion was mountain climbing when he was a young man. Â Cerwin, Dan, and Jeff It looks like Dan is telling us that it is time […]
