Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Wednesday, April 13 Cerwin got right to work after we arrived at the chapel which is located at the TA at Exit 138 on I-85/I-40 and Highway 61 in Greensboro, NC. The first thing he did was clean the air conditioner. While he did that I admired the colorful trucks as I walked to the truck stop […]
Wednesday, April 13 We left the house just after 5:00 AM and were at the West Virginia line by 6:50 AM. This trip was so Cerwin could make a few repairs on the chapel at the Greensboro, North Carolina, TA. It has been a long time since we traveled south on Route 81, so I enjoyed […]
Monday, August 3 These pictures were emailed to me yesterday – by Chaplain John Grove. He will be the lead chaplain on this chapel. This picture appears to have been taken from the setup on Saturday – before the missions conference in Lady Lake. Cerwin and Glenn installing a door awning yesterday after taking the chapel to […]
Thursday, July 30 The newest TFC chapel is on its way to Florida – from Marietta, Pennsylvania. Cerwin took this picture yesterday after pulling it out of TFC’s shop. Pray for Cerwin and Glenn Fahnestock as they make this delivery – first to Tri County Baptist Church, Lady Lake, Florida, for their Missions Conference on Sunday, August […]
Living Quarters cabinets Adding the crosses Rohrer’s One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning’s skilled team installing the heating and cooling system. Thanks Larry and Scott. Our Florida chaplains will appreciate this system. Yesterday it was lettered by Eckert Signs, Inc. Thanks Charlie. Your employees are the best. They do a fabulous job for us – always. This […]
Saturday, April 11 Waiting for breakfast with Dennis (Director of TFC’s Canadian Ministires) and Janet and Sam (Lead Chaplain at Pass Lake) in our motel dining room (Victoria Inn Hotel) in Thunder Bay. The pool – next to the restaurant – made me miss our grandchildren. They would enjoy this pool – especially the younger ones. […]
Friday, April 10 We went up to the 15th floor of our hotel to enjoy breakfast in the revolving restaurant. Cerwin’s oatmeal. Neither of us was very hungry since we had a large meal here the night before, but we wanted to see the city and Lake Superior in the morning light. My fruit The […]
Wednesday, April 8 On the road again. A cloud formation Truckers love this flat stretch of highway in Illinois. I look forward to seeing this cross in Effingham. There was still a faint moon at 8:30 AM. As we approached East St Louis, we saw many signs of spring. I can’t resist old barns. Our only […]
Wednesday, October 29 Just as we prepared to leave the motel this morning (8:30), a Canadian policeman came up to us to check Cerwin’s log book and the truck. Everything was okay. 🙂 It was a beautiful drive to the border. We were the only ones going south into the USA. Maybe that is why […]
Tuesday, October 28 I posted early yesterday, so have a few pictures left over from Monday’s work on the chapel. The guys installed three awnings – two doors and one window. Dennis installing a venetian blind in the living quarters. Cerwin watching as Dennis and Sam put the microwave in place. Sam hanging a light fixture […]
Monday, October 27 This is what Duluth looked like this morning before daylight. We were out of our truck bunks by 4 AM and on the road by 5 AM. Kristen, I thought of you when we went through several tunnels – as I know how much you like them. 🙂 It was a damp, cloudy […]
Sunday, October 5 We invited our TFC Prayer & Advisory Team for lunch and an afternoon of ministry information and visiting. Prayer before our meeting. We were excited to have two couples from Quebec – Chaplain Jacques (left) and Carmen (hidden to his left), and next to them Huguette and Chaplain Claude. They were in […]
Saturday, July 5 After returning from my photo shoot (previous post), and while Howard and Cerwin worked on the air conditioner, I went to the living quarters area to meet the volunteer chaplain who had arrived just before I got there. After learning that his name was Bob, I learned that he was a retired missionary […]
Saturday, July 5. 9:00 AM was our appointment with Chaplain Howard – to replace the non-working air conditioner with a working one – on the Indy Lighthouse Chapel. It didn’t take the guys long to remove the old one and place it outside on the grass (left). Cerwin and Howard getting the new one ready for […]
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 […]
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 […]
Sunday, December 8 We were glad for a warm chapel on this frigid (about zero degrees) Sunday morning. This is the view of the chapel from the truck stop restaurant. Chaplain Tim worked until a bit after midnight to get the interior of the chapel ready for Sunday morning. He was doing the kind of […]
Saturday, December 7 Ready to begin the set up of the new chapel. Bringing the steps out of the chapel. It’s the first time we set up a chapel in zero degree weather with ice and snow on the ground. Chaplain Tim’s son Garret helping to unpack and remove boxes and cardboard from the new […]
Friday evening, December 6 After we arrived, Tim and Cerwin removed some exterior attachments to the old chapel. I’m not sure what everything was, but they looked like antennas and such. The mechanic preparing to do his “thing.” By 3:45 in the afternoon they decided that it may move, so Chaplain Tim got in the cab. The […]
The last leg of the new chapel delivery. Friday, December 6 Cerwin did not want to take this route, but a detour mandated that we go this way. He asked me to help him keep an eye on the signs and routes as we maneuvered through the busy early morning traffic. I can’t imagine what […]
It was a good day! This is what happens when you take a picture before there is enough light. I thought it was kind of interesting. We left the house at 5:15 a.m. and enjoyed many sights and sounds through out the day. We enjoyed coffee and homemade cookies – from Deb – during the […]
It was a beautiful morning as we traveled to Flying J Travel Plaza near Elkton, Maryland. Monday, October 14. I especially enjoy this drive because we travel on back roads. Now that is an abandoned house. The weeds and vines are covering the first floor. I find abandoned houses interesting and sad. I wish […]
We received a phone call on Sunday, August 18 asking if John Dowd could park his camper rig at the TFC office. The rig if self-contained, so that was no problem.His camper was featured in the February 2013 Highway News http://www.transportforchrist.org/pdf/February2013HighwayNewsOnline1.pdf, Cerwin was anxious to meet John and see the rig on Monday morning. Glenn Fahnestock […]
Cerwin and I were invited to have supper with the International Board on Wednesday evening. I left the house a bit early so I would have time to get some pictures of Cerwin working on the trailer that will become a chapel for Hudson, Wisconsin. In this photo he is taking rivets off of a trap door. This […]
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 […]
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 […]
