Weekend Woundup and Weview #29

This weekend has been a great blessing to us. We were very happy to experience the presence of the Lord in the services and to enjoy some time with our dear friends in Texas. Praise God for His help and praise God for our friends!

We worked long hours on the house last week and we kind of dreaded the early morning flights Friday and the busy weekend away. However, it was a super blessing to us all the way around. We had great services, great fellowship and a few days of much needed time away.

In fact, I needed the rest more than I realized. We were up by 3:00 AM Friday morning so we took a good nap in Sweeny Friday afternoon after our flights. Then I slept 6 hours Friday night, took a two hour nap Saturday afternoon and then slept 6 more hours Saturday night.

That is an awful lot of sleep for me and I savored every moment of it. I am writing this late Sunday night after preaching Sunday morning and then spending the rest of the day traveling. I think I can lay down and sleep some more!

We appreciate Pastor Larry Lamb and his folks for receiving us very warmly as they always do. Our first visit there was probably in 1991. We did not visit south Texas during our years at home from 93 to 99 and while we were pastoring in Kansas from 99 to 2003, but we have enjoyed many revivals with them over the last 26 years. We always wish we could stay a little longer.

They built a temporary ramp for Odie to use while we were there. Cool!

The flights from Dayton to Atlanta and then to Houston were nearly perfect. We had know trouble with the transfer in Atlanta and both flights were a little early or right on time.

We did have a few hiccups at Hobby Airport in Houston on the way back and the rest of the evening was a little rough around the edges all the way through. We had three gate changes in Atlanta, the plane that was scheduled to take us to Dayton was having trouble and we finally left on a second plane about an hour behind schedule.

We did arrive in Dayton all in one piece so that is the important part. 

That wraps up our weekend. Thanks for stopping in to read today.

Weekend Woundup and Weview #28

This is our view out the front door of the evangelist's quarters in Sweeny, Texas.

We have had a wonderful time here in Sweeny this weekend. We have one more service and then we are headed back to the barn. I hope you have a super great Sunday.

Thank you for reading.

Flying the Friendly Skies

Hey Friends,

This is Odie reporting in today. This week we had a change of scenery. We are spending the weekend with Pastor Larry Lamb and our friends in Sweeny, Texas. It is great to be here again for a quick visit!

We had a wonderful service tonight. It is great to see people seeking God and God blessing His people. It is a small congregation of folks here but we have outstanding response!

We had to fly in order for this trip to be possible. I love flying and we had wonderful flights yesterday. Thanks to Delta airlines for getting us to our destination safely. I am thankful that yesterday was a smooth travel day! 

I am grateful for the Wright Brothers who invented flying. Dayton, Ohio was the home of the Wright brothers. Their invention has enabled us to go many wonderful places. Air travel sure makes long trips a lot easier. I flew for the first time 20 years ago this spring. I was so scared to fly but after one flight, I was hooked. 20 years later, I love flying on trips when the opportunity arises. I have crossed oceans to far away places and have flown many miles across my beloved homeland of America. 

I enjoy having a window seat and snapping pictures. We had clear weather yesterday so I took several shots I thought that were worth sharing. Here are the pictures from Dayton, Ohio to Atlanta, Georgia.

I took the pictures below as we were preparing to land in Atlanta. Can you see the other plane?

After a good layover in Atlanta we boarded another plane bound for Texas. A short plane ride later we were in Houston. Here are the pictures from Atlanta, Georgia to Houston, Texas.  

Are you tired from the long journey? I was ready for a good long nap. If we had driven from the barn to the church in Sweeny, it would have beren 1146 miles. We will repeat the trip tomorrow night. Keep us in your prayers.  I hope you enjoyed the pictures. 

If you missed the house update check out Thursday's post by clicking here. A lot is changing and happening. I am so excited I might burst from happiness. Thank you to my amazing family and friends for working so hard!! You all are incredible!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a blessed weekend.
