Taking a TFC Chapel To

Hershey Christian School

Friday, April 19

Part 1 of 2

Cerwin and I enjoyed the beautiful drive from Marietta to Hershey. This photo was taken just after we passed Hershey Medical Center. We had to take the long way because of having a full rig.

Entering the school grounds.

Karen Weidner (school principal and wife of TFC President, Scott Weidner) was waiting for us.

Showing Cerwin where to park the chapel.

We had a beautiful spot to park.

As we were walking the school halls – on the way to morning devotions – I liked seeing the chapel through classroom windows.

Grade school students gathered for morning devotions.

We were told that “Missions Day” usually features foreign missionaries, but this year the staff felt led to feature local missionaries.

“Ring, Ring, The Call Is For You” was a challenge to listen for God’s call and serve Him now – right where you are…

…on the ball field, in school, in the gym, and in the community.

After introductions and prayer for the day, we went out to the chapel to wait for our first class of students.

Fifth grade came first.

After a brief introduction by Cerwin, I lowered the lights and the two of us gave a twenty-minute PowerPoint presentation – introducing the children to trucks, truck drivers, and Transport For Christ.

Afterwards they got a “tour” of the living quarters – where I am standing to take this picture – before leaving the chapel and going to their next missionary class.

More tomorrow night.

We should live in the light, where God is.

Josiah’s Injury

&

Maple Syrup

Our grandson Josiah stopped in last Wednesday afternoon when I was working outside in a flower bed.

I was a bit puzzled to see him so early in the day – then noticed that something was wrong with his left hand.

This is what it looked like a few days later. He cut his hand with a grinder wheel at work when welding.

He had a dual purpose for coming that day. This is Maine maple syrup – gathered and cooked by his mom and siblings. He had been to Maine a few days earlier.

I could hardly wait to have a pancake and maple syrup.

Thanks, Diane. It is delicious.

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act.

Psalm 37:7 (New Living Translation)

Happy Birthday

To My Favorite Cerwin

I Love You!

Yellow

A Color of Spring

I love the colors of spring.

Especially when it is on a tulip.

Don’t let anyone divert you from the truth.

Blue Jay and a New Feeder

Blue Jays can be rather bossy in bird feeding areas – chasing away other birds, but I still think they are rather pretty.

It is also fun to watch them eat bird seed.

I hung my new hummingbird feeder this week.

Thanks to our granddaughter Elizabeth for giving this to me for Christmas.

I am usually a bit late in getting my hummingbird feeders hung – but not this year.

I’ll let you know when I see our first hummingbird.

Certainly, we wait with hope for you, O Lord, as we follow the path of your guiding principles.
