Odie Broke The Bus

Early this year I reconfigured our 12volt water pump system. I intended to plumb the pex line all the way to the new pump, but found there are no pump to pex fittings readily available. I ran a braided 3/4" hose from the tank to the pump and 1/2" clear tubing from the pump to the water system.

In only a few days I noticed that the 1/2" tubing was a mistake. It needs to be braided. The tube started stretching quickly. I knew I needed to replace it but kept neglecting to do so.

Then, Odie broke the bus.

Odie turned on the water pump Sunday morning a week ago and there was no water in the faucet. When she turned on the pump, the line had split and began pumping all of the water out of the broken line in the water.

Why does Odie get the blame? I am using Odie's own logic when I say Odie broke the bus. She needed water. She pushed the button to turn on the pump. Therefore she broke the bus.

When Odie was little she thought whoever ate the last chip in the bag or the last M&M, ate all the chips or M&Ms. She could eat all the chips but two and then I could eat the last two. Odie would say, "Dad ate ALL the potato chips."

The funny thing is, she was absolutely serious. It has become a running joke in our family. You ate ALL the chips because you ate the LAST one. You drank ALL the Pepsi because you took the LAST swallow. You ate ALL the cookies because you ate the LAST crumb.

Therefore Odie broke the bus because she pushed the pump button when the water line broke. Odie broke the bus. Plus, it was Sunday so Odie pushed the Ox (Bus) in the ditch.

I had not shaved or showered yet so the ox was really in the ditch.

But, KJo and I pulled the ox out of the ditch in a few minutes. She knew where the extra 1/2" tubing was located. She fetched it and I changed it in a few minutes.

Even though the non braided line lasted seven months, I intend to replace this one way before then. Hopefully, Odie will not break the bus before then.😜

Thank you for stopping by.

A Word For Wednesday, The Joy of Salvation

So glad you joined us today. It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

The Joy of Salvation

Thank you for joining us today. I am preaching this week under The Blue and White Gospel Tent. While preaching the other night, I was overwhelmed by the Joy of Salvation.

I was overwhelmed by the Joy I was receiving as I was preaching about Salvation.

I was overwhelmed by the Joy the recipient of salvation was about to receive.

The congregation was overwhelmed by Joy watching others receive salvation.

AND

I was overwhelmed that God experiences such Joy when we accept His gift of salvation.

Praise God for the Joy of Salvation!

Pictures From The Tent Going Up In Richton, Mississippi

Saturday morning, a few minutes before 8, we began to drive the stakes for the tent set up in Richton, Mississippi. Several of the church men had to work so Bro. Scott was a little worried about having enough help.

That caused me concern because KJo and I are no longer able to take up all the slack when we are short-handed. But there was no need to worry, others from the church came and visitors came and everything went well.

I was a bit rusty since I had not already set the tent up 8-10 times this summer like normal, but it all worked out fine in the end. I appreciate all the folks working so hard and I am thankful for God's help.

Odie captured some great pictures. I love looking at them and I hope you do too. Thank you for reading today. Get ready for beautiful tent pictures!
