Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
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 […]
This is the first time I ever posted by using my smart phone. It is a bit cumbersome. 🙂 We are in western Indiana – heading to Hudson, Wisconsin, with a new chapel. The chapel is dirty from driving in some rain. Pictures tomorrow.
Hosted by Chaplain Jay & Nan Schock They did a fabulous job of organizing the evening and decorating the chapel at Manor Church. Their friends Ray and Lisa coordinated the silent auction which raised more than $700.00 for TFC. People arrived early to find their assigned tables. The delicious meal was catered by Nanalyn’s Full-Filling Feast. Chaplain […]
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 were up really early on Saturday morning, October 12 – like 3:30 a.m. – so we could leave the house by 4:30, be at the TFC office by 5:00, and leave with International Chapel #2 shortly thereafter. It was still dark when we arrived at Menges Diner at 6:00 a.m. – where the prayer breakfast and bake sale […]
The chapel under construction – for Hudson, Wisconsin – is moving along quickly. The ceiling was finished in mid-September. When the interior was finished to Cerwin’s satisfaction (early October), he took the trailer to Mev Weaver’s for sandblasting and painting – and to Cerwin’s surprise, Merv called him yesterday that it is finished. Wow! Cerwin didn’t expect […]
Jason and Renita and their family graciously host this show of trucks and cars. They do a great job of making a truck shop look attractive for the day visitors. Jason’s truck was looking good – as usual. Their family is also involved in Ride Free Ministries and enjoy watching their boys ride motocross bikes. The […]
Our ministry display board. Opening songs by the Fehr Family, Master of Ceremonies – Jason Shelly. We enjoyed a delicious meal. A great gospel concert by The Brunner Family. Will and Sherry Stoner shared a bit of their spiritual journey – especially how Will came to understand God’s plan of salvation through an issue of TFC’s […]
We were honored to be invited to the TFC Office for an anniversary lunch. Monday, September 16 Before going to the office, I stopped at the shop to see what Cerwin was doing. He was working outside the chapel they are building for Hudson, Wisconsin, so I asked him to go inside and “pretend” that he […]
I was excited to receive a Facebook message from a blog friend (Juanita) on Friday morning saying they were in the Lancaster area to see Noah at Sight and Sound, and were toying with the idea of going to TFC’s International Office. I messaged her back. “If you decide to do that, call me as I have […]
Thursday, July 18 The Rochelle, Illinois, area has acres of wind mills. Routes 39 and 80 are popular trucking routes. By this point the busy traffic was making me miss Route 2 in Montana and North Dakota. TFC has received a request to bring a chapel to this area in Gary, Indiana. The leadership team is working on the […]
Wednesday, July 17 We enjoyed a relaxing morning with Judi and K in Wisconsin before preparing to head toward Rochelle, Illinois, for the night. Judi has a nice, well-kept little garden. K wasn’t sure about sitting on my bottom bunk in the truck. But her mom soon had her smiling. This is Reuben and Judi’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We arrived at the International Office about 5:45 a.m. this morning. Just after loading our luggage and supplies into the truck, I realized that I forgot my purse. 🙁 Consequently we headed east – to go by our house – before going west. I would certainly have trouble at the border without my driver’s license for photo […]
Sunday, June 9 We enjoy this annual event at Manheim Brethren in Christ Church where we get to tell the children – and a few adults – about Transport For Christ. Gene Gehman (right) told the children about his love for truck driving and some of the ways he serves God as a truck driver. Then Cerwin […]
