Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
I took this picture of Cerwin coming toward the Expo about 54 minutes after I took the first one – of him leaving the driveway – and he still had a few minutes of driving before entering the same driveway he left about an hour earlier. I chose just a few pictures (from the 276 I […]
Thursday, June 19 It’s usually not difficult to plan a toy shopping day at Wal-Mart with our youngest grandchildren. However, I now have to plan around Diana and Jana’s working schedules. A TFC sponsor who gives $300.00 so we can buy some new toys for the Children’s Benefit Auction. We also get many other donated toy and children’s […]
Saturday, June 14 I went through the many pictures that I have left in my Macungie file and decided to choose some special ones for here, and post the rest on my Facebook page, so if you like trucks and old cars, go to Doris Jean High on Facebook. That way I won’t bore the rest […]
Saturday, June 14 We loved the new location for the chapel, as we had a great view of all incoming vehicles. The chapel was a gathering place for people who wanted to watch the arriving cars and trucks. It was also parked beside a main walking area. We were beside the information/registration center, meaning all the […]
ATCA = The Antique Truck Club of America, Inc. Friday, June 13 As we traveled through a downpour during the last forty-five minutes of the drive to Macungie, we were grateful that Chaplain Jake had taken the chapel a day earlier. Many pulled off the road while others drove slowly with their four-ways on. It lightened […]
Our daughter Deb and her friend Dee have been planning this for some time. It finally worked out on Thursday, June 12. After Deb and Dee plugged in the crockpot in the shop kitchen and got things ready for lunch, we took the animals over to the office. Inge with Jarrett, Deb’s latest fawn rescue […]
One day in early May Cerwin received a call from Dennis Finnamore, TFC’s Director of Canadian Ministries, asking how soon he could get a chapel to Pass Lake Truck Stop ~ east of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Cerwin’s goal for delivery is sometime in October. Within days he called Jim at Jagtrux to see if they had […]
Hilltop Fun Fest at Slate Hill Mennonite Church ~ Continued The release of 100 sky lanterns was the grand finale of the Fun Fest evening. The church is located on a hill and was a great place for releasing the lanterns. A group from the church sang hymns as the lanterns drifted toward the sky. I […]

Saturday, May 31 A few weeks ago TFC’s Lancaster prayer breakfast group decided to hold a prayer breakfast at Landis Homes where Raymond (wheel chair) and his wife, Martha live. Raymond is no longer able to get to the breakfast at Yoder’s due to being paralyzed from the mid-chest area and down, so we took the prayer breakfast […]
Saturday evening, May 17 We enjoy this small banquet, because it gives us time to be with a wonderful group of TFC friends and supporters. Maggie blessed us with two beautiful songs. Bunny O’Hare gave a ministry update, thanked them for being faithful to TFC since 1975 ~ that’s 39 years ~ and shared how he challenges our […]
Shortly after horns began blaring at 1:30 p.m., the first truck went by us. Our friend Marv Sauder was in the second truck. This clown had an open air ride. Definitely one of the most interesting “rigs” in the convoy. We were the 30th truck – right behind Lapp Electric. I could not find an official […]
We arrived at Burle Industries just before 8:00 a.m. and dusted road dirt off the fenders until Chaplains Jake and Bob arrived to help Cerwin set up the steps. Jane (Chaplain’s Jake’s wife) and I had just finished setting up the interior of the chapel when our first visitor came inside. Our second and third visitors were also clowns ~ our friend […]
Sunday, May 4 Do not confuse these pictures with Make-A-Wish ~ Lancaster ~ which was held today. I will post those pictures later in the week. The convoy of trucks near Gettysburg began promptly at 1:30 p.m. I will only post a few pictures of the trucks to show you a bit of the variety. Coming […]
Sunday, May 4 This was our first year to attend York/Gettysburg Make-A-Wish Convoy, and Battlefield Harley-Davidson was our landmark for turning into the parking lot. Jeff ~ our contact person showed Cerwin where he wanted him to park. The other end of the lot was already filling up with trucks. I walked over to the Harley lot for […]
We enjoyed our day at the Touch-a-Truck event in Newmanstown on Saturday, May 3. It’s a time when the community comes together to learn about local vehicles and raise funds for the library. After getting the chapel set up, I walked around the lot while Cerwin manned the chapel and enjoyed a cup of coffee. […]
Monday, April 28 ~~~ Chapel Repair at Life-Saver Chapel, Elkton, Maryland Thanks, Chaplain Jay for taking these pictures and sending them to me.

Saturday, April 19 We were up early enough to see the beautiful sunrise as we drove to New Holland. The exquisite lighting made it so much fun to take pictures as we drove. I like this one. Oh, that was fun! Cerwin and I were asked to give a ministry report at this breakfast ~ and used […]
Today, April 18 Thanks to four volunteers (Lois Keller, Lois Wells, Josh and Jason Diffenderfer) we labeled and prepared 2,692 individual Highway News & Good News for mailing ~ between 9:00 am and 10:30 am. I told them that we were glad nobody forgot about it, because if Cerwin and I had to do this job alone, it would take four-and-a-half hours. Truly, many hands […]
Saturday Evening, April 12 We arrived early to set up the projector and display table. When we were finished with the setup, I had opportunity to photograph the pretty flowers on each table.

Tuesday, February 11 This kind of luncheon at the International Office is bittersweet. Because it means that we are saying farewell to a good coworker and friend. On this day we were saying goodbye to Chris as a coworker. That is the sad part. However, we are happy for her because she is moving on to a job that […]
I began working on bulk mailings in 1977. The Northeast Region was new then, and Director Melvin Mast and his wife, Joyce, were preparing to mail newsletters by using a bulk permit. My first job in their office was to organize addresses – on typed labels – in alphabetical order. On my first day in the office, the addresses were on […]
We were up early to travel the one-and-a-half hours it takes to get to Harleysville, Pennsylvania, for the Bucks-Montgomery Chapter’s 8:00 a.m. prayer breakfast and Christmas brunch. I enjoy seeing the Christmas decorations throughout Henning’s large grocery store and the mezzanine where the breakfast is held. They serve a delicious meal. I notice that I got […]
Monday, December 16, at the TFC Office Lynn and Chris getting things set up. I missed a shot of Bunny greeting his wife, Peg, with a kiss, but they willingly did it again. 🙂 Waiting for prayer. It was fun meeting everyone’s spouses. And there was delicious food. I could eat a spoonful of that […]
The snow stopped during the night, but the roads were still not real great in the morning. For the first several miles we couldn’t even see the white lines dividing the traffic lanes. It was a pretty morning to be traveling. Lake Ontario. We had an incredibly nice border-crossing agent on the way into Canada, […]
Saturday, December 14 We woke up Saturday morning to a heavy snow in Burlington. We were glad that our motel was only a few blocks from the church where the service would be held. One time I looked out, I enjoyed watching these two dogs running and jumping in the snow. A short time later there […]
Friday, December 13 The pretty sunrise seemed to always be behind us as we began our almost eight-hour drive to Burlington, Ontario, for the memorial service for our friend Audrey Scott, so I took a picture in the rearview mirror. The early morning sun made pretty reflections on the Susquehanna River We expected to get into snow as […]
Howe, Indiana, to Marietta, Pennsylvania – Tuesday, December 10 For some reason this song kept running through my head as I watched the day break on Tuesday. Morning Has Broken – by Eleanor Farjeon Morning has broken, like the first morning Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the […]
Monday, December 9 We waited until daylight before leaving the truck stop due to the scattering of snow on Sunday night, and were barely on the road when we began seeing signs of a rainbow. I had never seen a rainbow that encircled the sun. (As you can see, Cerwin quickly ran the windshield wipers to give me a […]
