Sunday in West Virginia

We made it to Parkerburg, WV. today. We left Statesville around 9am and arrived up here at 5pm. We took our time coming up here since we couldn't get our rooms until 5. I have met with my workcrew (#21 if you're interested) and told them the once again proverbial "good news / bad news" about our home.

Good news - Very little scraping to do.
Bad news - We have the largest home in our area. Rut-row.

The home owners have been told that they will be fined by the City if they do not have their home painted. I guess that means we're providing a kind of "civic service" for the City. So if you get a chance, don't forget to lift us up in prayer. The Temperatures are forecasted in the 90’s which is high for this area and there is a 40% chance of t-storms all week long. Now for some pictures:

Saturday night at the Roadhouse Restaurant with from left to right: Josh, one of our AIM guys, Lee, Chuck, yours truly, Anthony, Phil, and Dusty - all AIM folks.

Taken for the inside of our church bus. The girl standing on her seat in the black is Kir.

On our church bus, Anthony and Dusty, both AIM (Adventures in Missions) students assigned to our (yes, West Cocoa is a mission field) church.


Anybody want to fire up the old C.W. McCall 70's song, "We got us a convoy." Picture of our church bus at a rest area in Virginia.


A picture of your truly at the same rest area in Virginia.

Comments:
I was impressed with how you were able to keep your chest so expanded in that one photo. Is awesome the right word to use there?
 
Thanks for sharing the pictures, and I'm glad you and yours made the trip safely. Prayers have been said for your collective strength, vitality, health, patience, and a cool breeze across your faces as you work in that 90 degree weather. :)
 
That should be "Chuck and me ..." on the tugboat picture! Couldn't resist.

Where's Barb? Did she stay in Florida this trip? Hope you don't get any of those storms ripping apart the midlands.
 
Hope you all the best in your ministry brother. The church bus pics bring back the youth ministry days memories. I've spent many hours on a church bus with teens.
 
Brady - My ribs still hurt.

Judy - Thank you for the prayers. In my 6 years attending the Mid-Ohio Valley Workcamp, this is by far the hottest its been here in "wild and wonderful" West Virginia.

Greg - Where would we be without the "Grammar Police." Barb stayed home in "quiet and unassuming" Florida.

Keith - I might be a freak of nature because I enjoy the teen bus! It rocks!
 
Those are some pretty rest stops in West Virginia.....

Looks like you all are having a great time.
