WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY

Thursday was wet wet wet all day didn’t stop raining until about 5pm and then we spent another hour at least drying things out that had gotten wet. But we were really surprised about how little things did get wet. Was only in a couple of corners. But for the most part we stayed good and dry….I sure am glad that we brought our heated mattress pad….that is a lifesaver…it is suppose to get down fairly cold for the next couple of night.

Have heard some wonderful sermons the few days and nights… really inspiring ….they said tonight that by the time Friday nights there is suppose to be over 4000. Bikers here. Can you imagine that sort of camp site. All the tents all the bikes all those bikers. Wow…amazing. I tried to take some pictures but there is no where that you can get to really get a good angle to show the magnitude of it ….

Hopefully tomorrow will be bright and sunny for us ….but I can tell you all the soggy weather the devil throws at us , doesn’t make a bit of difference. …Seems that every year there is a day at least that it rains and tries to mess things up but we just do a different service…

Tomorrow , Friday, we are riding out to a place that is an orphanage for special needs kids ….will eat lunch and everyone will donate to them ….Bikers are generous to a fault especially to kids ….so they do pretty good …there will probably be at least 500 bikes going out there….

We were suppose to go to the middle school today but their school was torn up last year in the tornado and they are spread out every where….so I think they are coming out here tomorrow after noon …

There will be rides and games for them to watch and participate in …like being the flag people and such..

JANET It is hard to imagine that many bikers all in one place isn’t it? But it is true I wish I could let you all see how many tents and people and bikes there are here. Is amazing.

The meals that are made for us we all go at the same time and get in lines usually about 4 of them and away we go…it sometimes takes 30 minutes of standing in line…but then a lot of people go out to eat they go to town or somewhere and a lot of them cook for themselves at their campsite…

The seminars are all decided before we ever get here and then you are given a list of them and can decide for yourself what you want to go to.

Friday nights are a big concert from usually a named gospel group or singer. Last year was Dallas Holmes, I cant think of who it is this year lol I cant find my pamplet either so will tell you all later. Im sure they will be great.

Even a lot of the town people come out to the concert and to the church services at night too.

Keep praying for everyone here as it is a wonderful life affirming time.

RENEE it sounds like you are having one wonderful time …im so glad that you got to go there ….I know you are anxious to get home to that baby tho….how is it that you havent ever seen your sister? Just wondered …you know me nosey….hope you all have a safe trip home. And that Larry gets another project soon….He evidently is self employed then huh? That always sounds good but isn’t sometimes.

JEANIE=RAE::: yes you can overcome all the old cravings or at least daily overcome them . It is just a matter of your saying NO I wont…and realizing that nothing tastes as good as being healthy and free feels

You have to realize that those foods that we ate before arent good even tho they might taste good for a moment they don’t taste good in afterthought…you know those afterthoughts of (why did I eat that feelings???

Overcoming those old demons are what will keep you at 3 years , 5 years and on down the road from gaining your weight back….. You will do well just have to determine what your choices are….my passion now is fruit …I was like you breads and pastas and potatoes were mostly my demons. But I have found substitutes. And I like them better. Green veggies are great now …and seems I crave the veggies and fruits now like I use to crave the bad things.
