Jantz Cafe & Bakery


We love to visit Jantz Cafe & Bakery in Atwater, California. They serve great breakfast, great soups and great sandwiches. Thursday is Cheeseburger Chowder day so that's where we ate lunch yesterday. I tried their new Rueben sandwhich and it was delicious as well. I ordered it without the rye bread and added the all you can eat soup for a wonderful meal.


Kelly Jo and Odie like their Chicken Salad Sandwhich so that is what they had. It was good. (I know because I ate half of Odie's. I love when she gets full fast!) KJ had potato salad and Odie had the soup.


We do love Jantz but the prices have started creeping up pretty high the last few years. We spent $33 plus tip and didn't eat any of their wonderful desserts. That's a little high for soup and sandwiches in my book so we probably would not go often if we lived here. It is very good for a special treat though. The food is always very fresh and well prepared and the people are nice too.

Revival is going well. We had a great response in the altar tonight and I appreciate that. There's no telling what the Lord may do tonight at Amazing Grace Tabernacle. I can hardly wait for church time. Thanks for all your prayers for us. God bless you every one.

Odie Buys an iPhone

Odie buying her first Real phone!

Odie has finally made the move to an iPhone! She bought an iPhone 4S last week. She made up her mind to buy one in Iowa but nobody had one. She called all over southern Ohio thinking she could pick one up the few hours we we going to be there before flying out. She found none around home. She called the Walmarts and AT&T stores in Montana with no success.

When we arrived in Montana Bro. Nathan Jeffreys told her that Best Buy had plenty. (Bro. Nathan is a member of the Best Buy Geek Squad) We went in on Monday and finally bought one. As a bonus, there is no sales tax in Montana so she saved some money there. She is so happy to have it.

Her first smart phone was a Blackberry Storm (Four in one year) then a Droid X that lasted one year. I kept trying to convince her to buy a real phone and now she is so glad she did. The camera is really good. I took some pictures with it right along side my iPhone 4 and her pictures were very noticeably better. It is faster as well and has some great new features. We hear that some people are having trouble with the batteries but hers seems to be OK.

She also switched from Verizon to AT&T and joined our family plan so she will save quite a bit of money as well. That is always a good thing. Her number stays the same so if you have her number you can reach her as normal. She is covered by our unlimited texting and calls to and from mobile phones so call and text away!

Welcome, Odie, to the iPhone family. It's about time! Lol

Pastor Anthony Munoz - Stanford Medical Center

On Tuesday Pastor Burris and I drove over to Stanford, California to see Pastor Anthony Munoz and his wife, Sis. Rose. Bro. Anthony is battling cancer for the second time and is in a very critical phase of his treatment at Stanford Medical Center. 

I cannot begin to comprehend all the process but this is how I understand it. They have given Bro. Anthony a lethal dose of Chemo to burn all the bone marrow out of his body. Today they will transplant the stem cells that were taken from him previously. If all goes well this will rid his body of all the cancer. 

Please pray that Bro. Anthony's body will respond properly and that he will have no side effects. Pray for the whole family that God will strengthen them physically, emotionally and spiritually. I know God is able to help them through this. 

These are pictures that Bro. Anthony has drawn on the whiteboard in his room the last few days. Praise God for a sense of humor on dark days.

Amazing Grace Tabernacle

We started revival on Sunday for Pastor Jared Burris at Amazing Grace Tabernacle in Atwater, California. We started with Pastor Apprciation service on Sunday morning and I really enjoyed that. Bro. Jared is one of my dearest friends so it was a privilege to honor him as an outstanding Pastor. Praise God for every man that has a Pastor's heart in these troublesome times.

Revival kicked off Sunday night and we have had two great services so far. We had visitors from fellowshipping churches last night but I forgot to take pictures. Here are a few pictures from Sunday and two from Odie's phone tonight. I will try to post more later.
