20 Days Ago In Akaroa

The Lord met us again last night and we appreciate those of you that were able to join us. All the services are archived if you want to have church later. We will be having revival each night at 8:00 PM Eastern.

We have a bunch of pictures from revival this week and I can hardly wait to show them to you. I have them ready to go up on Friday and I will add more if you send them in.

I will give you a break from all of this revival talk today. This is beautiful Akaroa Near Christchurch, New Zealand. We fell in love with this little town on the water's edge. Wow!

KJo finds a house to live nearly everywhere we go. This is the choice in Akaroa.

This is the place on the ship we ate dinner each night.

And the water on the way out to sea.

It is hard to believe we were there only 20 days ago. KJo said, "Time flies when you are having fun." Thank you for stopping by.

Is It Time?

You know, all good things must come to an end, right? Nothing lasts forever. Nothing is permanent. Nothing earthly is eternal.

“The magic fades too fast

The scent of summer never lasts

The nights turn hollow and vast

But nothing remains...nothing lasts.”

Sanober Khan

We know that is true, but it is hard to swallow. I suppose the main problem is finding the right time to end something that has been so much fun. I have difficulty pulling the plug.

Maybe now would be as good a time as any. We had 42 posts on Mile Markers the month of March and over 100 posts for the year already. That is a pretty high note.

Mile Markers has been going since November 2009. That is well over 10 years, 3591 posts, 2712 comments, thousands and thousands of pictures and many, many long hours staring at a computer screen trying to come up with something to say.

Is It Time? It may be. What do you think about it? Has Mile Markers run its course? Do we need to move on? 

Is It Time? 




No, it is NOT time, but it is April 1.

See you here tomorrow by God's grace.

A Beautiful Evening in New Zealand

It has only been about three weeks since we took these pictures, but it seems like a lifetime ago. The peace we felt while sailing on the water and watching the waves go by seems like a million miles away. I think that is even more reason to share the pictures of this peaceful scene.

Kelly Jo and I love the tranquility of sailing on the ocean, especially when surrounded by beauty like this.

All of these pictures were taken the evening we were leaving Port Chalmers, New Zealand out of the beautiful bay and going north up the east side of the South Island.

The change from that evening to the craziness that is the new normal in the world is unbelievable. But life rolls on and we lean on the Lord for His help and guidance. I will have more pictures at a later date.

Thank you for praying for revival and listening if you have had a chance to do so. We have been enjoying it so very much. 

Thank you for dropping in.

What's Up, Weekend?

First, a very serious prayer request
Saturday evening I spoke on the phone with two of our travel companions during our recent travels to Australia and New Zealand.  They have received some unsettling news. Bro. Bruce and Sis. Priscilla Mayhan have tested positive for covid 19. 

I am telling you this with their permission and I am asking you to pray for them sincerely. Please call their names in prayer each time you pray. Bind together with them and with us for a touch of the hand of God. We know that His touch will be enough.

Saturday night and Sunday have been horrible for Bro. Bruce. Please, please, please pray for our brother and our friend. We did get word Sunday night after church that his fever had eased a bit and we are very thankful for that. We have not heard since then. Prays saints!

Weekend
Our weekend was mostly church and that is always a good thing. We did take time for a few necessary things. Even with society shut down, life goes on.

KJo and I are still struggling with the 17 hour time change. I was so thankful when I slept from 12:30 to 5:00 AM one morning last week. I was positive I was on my way to sleeping sanity. Nope! The next night I laid mostly awake until about 6:00 AM and it has not been much better since.

Think of it like this. When we are trying to sleep at Midnight, our bodies are saying it is time for supper at 5:00 PM. When it is time for me to roll out of bed at 5:00 AM, my body is saying it is 10:00 PM and time to start winding down. We have been back in the states 10 days, it is time to get this body clock right.

The good thing is that even though we are not sleeping much, we do not feel sleep deprived. I guess the little amount of sleep we are getting, must be enough.

I had to do a little repair in the barn Saturday. I noticed when I turned the water off to the barn before we left in early January, that I had a small leak where there the water comes into the barn.

With the water main off, it was no problem, but we need water in the bus while we are home, so I needed to tackle it. With advice from my dear friend Bro. Jimmie Radcliffe, I got it.

I cut the pipe.



I slid the new valve in and crimped the Pex ring. Thankfully, I already had the Pex rings and Pex tools. I ordered the valve from Amazon.



You may remember that I purchased a 60" water meter wrench from a wholesale place in Mississippi in February. I needed the extra length for the shutoff valve going into the house. I have not had to use it, but I took the lid off Saturday and tried it out for size. It works perfectly!



Sunday was a pretty good day. I listened to or watched four services Sunday morning and a couple more in the afternoon. I was pumped up and ready to go by the time we had service at 8:00 PM. We had a wonderful time singing and basking in the presence of the Lord.

We had Sunday Night Singalong and we had a wonderful time.
