Vintage View Vednesday Phoenix to Amarillo June 2009

If the lure of the open road, wide vistas and endless scenic views do not appeal to you, I am afraid you are in the wrong place today. I was digging deep into our archives and blew the digital dust off of some well loved road pictures. I could not wait to share them with you today.

All the road pictures were taken in a single day June 6, 2009, on I-17 between Phoenix and Flagstaff and on I-40 between Flagstaff and Amarillo, Texas. That length of travel day is now a little beyond my self imposed daily mileage limit, but I was only then beginning to consider limits.

My older, wiser self would never consider that drive in one day, well not this week anyway. 😀

What a fantastic wonderful day it was! It was a bit hazy most of the day, but the extremely varied terrain, the anticipation of what we would see over the next hill and the miles passing under our wheels, transformed a "regular" travel day into a day we will never forget.

Kelly Jo was sitting in her seat with both feet propped up, a cold drink in the holder, Odie's good camera in her hand and a smile plastered from ear to ear. She documented the whole day as we enjoyed the beautiful trip.

I want to show you those pictures in our Vintage View today. If you travel around the country with us on a regular basis and you love seeing the things we see, you are definitely in the right place today. Enjoy.

Schedule Revision

We are excited to begin revival in Claremore, Oklahoma beginning on Mother's Day at Westside Holiness Church. It will be our first revival for Pastor Jimmy Millikin. I told you here in February that the Millikin family had transitioned into the Pastorate. They are doing well and we are looking forward to being with them.

We hope to slide in there this Sunday, Mother's Day, and try to be an encouragement to the Millikins and to the Westside Church. We have known and loved all these folks for many years and we love having revival there. We are looking forward to what God may do in the services.

We have lots of friends and potential fellowship from the Tulsa area. We are excited to see all of you there, but there is a scheduling note you need to know. We will have revival Sunday, May 12 through Thursday, May 16. There will be no revival service on Friday, May 17 because of a school graduation that most of the church folks will need to attend.

Now all of our friends must come early in the week rather than wait for Friday. That is really better. That way you can come back again IF you like it.😀

As of now, we plan to be back at Claremore on Sunday, May 19 and pick back up the revival services. We may go on a few nights at Claremore or we may pop up to preach in Weir, Kansas a couple of nights before rushing to Ohio to pick up the tent trailer.

Stay tuned for more information on all of that.

While I am talking about Oklahoma and our upcoming schedule, we are also going to be at Burnett Mission Holiness Church north of Paden, Oklahoma May 10 and 11, Friday and Saturday night. Pastor Terry Garner has invited us to be part of a family weekend there. It will be our first time preaching at Burnett Mission and we are looking forward to it.

Thank you for stopping by today.
