Closing program for the day – the Grandstand Show The evening program was not all according to my taste or likes, but it was certainly an elaborate celebration. These guys sang acapella bebop. There were lots of fireworks – and because we were in the upper level, the fireworks were straight across from us at times. We […]
but it is the Lord who gives victory. Proverbs 21:31 (Good News Translation)
Afternoon Break & Chuckwagon RacesAfter the rodeo we walked around the grounds and enjoyed some of the sights and sounds. Dennis asked me to take this picture to prove to some one that he was a cowboy – I think TFC President, Scott Weidner. 🙂 A pretty wagon This looks like an old chuckwagon. We enjoyed another working […]
Bull Riding and Wild Pony Rides A clown preparing for the bull riding competition. Out of the gate! This is a good visual of how valuable the clowns are to the bull riders. Wild pony racing is a youth competition. There are teams of three, and it appears that they all try to help a […]
who reflect the Good News about Christ. Philippians 1:27 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Monday Afternoon, July 8 The initials CS were everywhere around the grounds. The C was in the form of a horseshoe. I like this reflection in the muddy water as the sun came out during the afternoon. Bareback riding There was novice bareback and bareback. I am not sure which is which in these […]
we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us. Romans 8:37 (Contemporary English Version)
Monday afternoon, July 8 Tie down roping As soon as the calf is released – after tie-down – it seems to know exactly where to go. Whoops! That one got away. That one didn’t get away. Nor did the rest of them get away. Waiting for his turn. The winner. Junior Steer Riding Even though […]
“When he talked to us on the road, it felt like a fire burning in us. How exciting it was when he explained to us the true meaning of the Scriptures!” Luke 24:32 (Easy-to-Read Version)
After seeing as many carnival activities as we could handle, we went to the animal barns. There were several activities going on outside the barns. Old equipment display. During a heavy rain, we went inside this show barn to see what was going on. There was sheep herding competition. It was interesting to watch the difference between an […]
It was a drizzly, rainy morning when we arrived at the Stampede on Monday. Pretty flowers at the entrance. The carnival area takes up most of the outside space. We decided this one – that flipped back and forth from bottom to top – was not for us. Nor was this one for us. It worked […]

Sunday, July 7, 3:00 p.m. Murray Kuehl, this is the best I can do for a straight-on shot of the chapel in place because the pole is in the way. I hope you noticed that I took one a few days ago – when we were traveling through Montana. The entrance steps are especially strong […]
the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 (Easy-to-Read Version)
Preparing for the chapel dedication service. After breakfast Helen and I prepared fruit for the afternoon dedication service. When we had the food prepared, I went outside to take a few pictures to give you an idea of their surroundings. The Canadian Rockies from their back yard. Because it is difficult to get drivers to come out […]
and your word is correct. You are a shield for those who run to you for help. Psalm 18:30 (Contemporary English Version)
My day started with a prayer breakfast. While Cerwin and Dennis went to the chapel to finish the set up, I went with Helen to their monthly prayer breakfast. Dan had gone earlier to do some preparations. After breakfast Chaplain Dan shared a devotional and an update on the chapel’s arrival. You will notice a […]

to build yourselves up even stronger. Pray with the help of the Holy Spirit. Jude 1:20 (Easy-to-Read Version)
Shelby, Montana, to Calgary, Alberta Heading for Alberta – and leaving our motel behind. It was a gray, overcast morning, with a hint of sunshine to come. With an ever-changing landscape, we always wonder what we will see over the next hill. Sweetgrass – the last town before Canada. We arrived here about 7:04 a.m. […]
I am weary tonight, and with the time change – we are on Mountain Time – I am ready for bed, and it is only 8:45 here. However it is 10:45 to my body. It wasn’t the quickest border crossing we ever made – but I will tell you about it in the morning. After […]

Glendive, Montana, to Shelby, Montana My favorite travel feature for this entry: A box of unscented baby wipes. They make fabulous wash cloths. Our view from the truck window this morning – in Glendive, Montana. The view as we pulled forward and prepared to leave the truck stop at 5:00 a.m. Just outside of town. After deciding […]
not one thing in all creation was made without him. John 1:3 (Good News Translation)
This has been a delightful day. We are now in Mountain Time. My truck feature of this post: My lighted mirror. I love taking pictures in the early morning. The Minnesota lakes and farmlands were beautiful today. This driver had a challenge ahead of him. He was on the construction crew and had to […]
We enjoyed a beautiful sunset last night in Sauk Centre, Minnesota. While I was taking pictures, Cerwin was talking to the driver next to us (second from left). He used to be an over-the-road driver, and said, “Thanks for having chapels in truck stops. I used to stop in whenever I had time.” He now drives […]
is alive and working. Hebrews 4:12 (Easy-to-Read Version)
South Bend, Indiana, to Sauk, Centre, Minnesota We were on the road this morning shortly after six a.m. This house got our attention because of grass on the roof. It also appears to have been built into a bank. Cerwin said this is trucking! He loved the long, straight roads. We took a slight detour because […]
