Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father.

Road Trip to Indiana

Day 1 – Thursday, September 16

Traveling to Upper Sandusky, Ohio

 

 

2 (1).JPG

Our first stop was about four miles from home when we got fuel for the TFC pickup we were driving. We shared a Dunkin Donut French Kruller.

 

 

2 (2).JPG

Love this old barn

 

 

2 (3).JPG

We noticed that leaves were beginning to color about the time we got to the first tunnel on the Pennsylvania turnpike.

A few hours later we were ready for a snack, and bought a delicious berry muffin at Star Bucks – and shared it. I think it was the best muffin I have ever eaten.

 

 

2 (8).JPG

By late morning it began to rain – quite heavily at times.

 

 

2 (9).JPG

Truckers must keep going – sunshine or rain

 

 

2 (10).JPG

Even though it is not fun for truckers to drive in rain…

 

 

2 (11).JPG

…it is even worse for those on motorcycles.

 

 

2 (12).JPG  2 (13).JPG

Someone gave us two twelve-inch Subway subs the day before, so we shared one for supper, and put the other in our travel refrigerator for lunch on this first day of travel. I added a McDonalds hazlenut latte to my lunch. It was delicious.

 

 

2 (14).JPG

We had traveled through several tunnels before reaching Wheeling, West Virginia.

 

 

2 (15).JPG

I loved our drive through the hills of eastern Ohio on Route 250. I love any road that is not an interstate.

 

 

2 (16).JPG

It was auction day in Kidron, so the little village was filled with Amish.

 

 

2 (17).JPG

 

 

2 (18).JPG

It was shortly after this that we delivered chapel chairs to Chaplain Jason and Shannon Nussbaum – just hours before the tornado destroyed their house. If you missed that entry, go here.

 

 

2 (19).JPG

After leaving Jason’s house, we went to Wayne County Fair to see the TFC staff who were manning the booth.

 

 

2 (20).JPG

 

 

2 (21).JPG

This friendly cow was anxious to have her picture taken!

 

 

2 (22).JPG

We easily found the TFC display booth, and visited with the chaplains who were on duty.

 

 

2 (23).JPG

They had a really nice display.

 

 

2 (24).JPG

Answering questions about the ministry

 

 

2 (25).JPG

Rain was threatening when we left the fair.

 

 

2 (26).JPG

We weren’t in the car very long before it really rained.

 

 

2 (27).JPG

It was here that we noticed a very black sky to our north, and later learned about the tornado that tore the roof off of Jason and Shannon’s house. Use the above link to read about it.

 

 

2 (28).JPG

It was still quite blustery when we arrived at our motel.

 

 

2 (29).JPG

We had the most unique room (Comfort Inn). You could enter the bathtub/shower from either side (bedroom or bathroom).

 

 

2 (30).JPG

We continued to hear tornado warnings all evening, but were pleased that none touched down in our area.

The wicked are edgy with guilt, ready to run off even when no one’s after them; honest people are relaxed and confident, bold as lions.

September Things

 

 

0 (1).JPG

A pretty white moth or butterfly on our garage window. Does anyone know its identification?

 

 

0 (2).JPG

Neighbors cows on a foggy morning

 

 

0 (3).JPG

Eating breakfast

 

 

0 (4).JPG

Great blue heron in the swamp

 

 

0 (5).JPG

Turkey buzzards on electric poles

 

 

0 (6).JPG

Bulrushes

 

 

0 (7).JPG

The township workers are filling in the gutters along our newly paved road – making it very dusty.

 

 

0 (8).JPG

 I hope it soon rains and cleans up the road again.

 

 

0 (9).JPG

There are definite signs of fall in our woodlot

 

 

0 (10).JPG0 (12).JPG

Shellbark hickory leaves are turning yellow, and our yard is full of shellbarks. That should give the squirrels something to do instead of eating from my bird feeders.

 

 

0 (11).JPG

Leaves are beginning to cover our grass.

 

 

0 (13).JPG

Most corn surrounding our house has been harvested. Now we can see buildings again.

 

 

0 (14).JPG

If it hasn’t been harvested, it soon will be.

0 (16).JPG

 

 

0 (17).JPG

Stink bugs are invading our area and trying to get into houses

 

 

0 (18).JPG

The last daylily

 

 

0 (19).JPG0 (20).JPG

Most of our flowers are gone, but the plumed celosia is still pretty and there are a few miniature roses.

 

 

0 (21).JPG

Lily of the valley berries are almost as pretty as the white flowers were in spring.

 

 

0 (22).JPG

Our new crepe myrtle bush is finished blooming and is full of seed pod berries.

 

 

0 (23).JPG

Corn silhouetted by the morning sun

Today’s sunset

These are beautiful fall days.
