On our ride to Sandusky

My Azalea is doing the best ever!  All the rain must have been good for it

Our grass we planted around the trees and along the woods on both sides of the house is doing great.  This tree had the most dirt around it.  Now the grass is getting thicker and looking amazing.

My Clematis I planted last year is doing amazing this year too.  I can't wait to have blossoms on it which should happen soon.  

We went to church so Bill could pray with the elders over Pastor before the early service.  I walked around and visited with people. I was so happy to see Debbie D. there.  It’s the first time she has been there since she broke her femur.  We talked for a while, then I went to sit down and Hailey was there waiting for us.  I was so happy to see her.  The worship was amazing and Terry K, a retired pastor, gave the message.  It was good and was on serving.  We prayed at the altar for people afterward.  When we were done, I went into the Sunday School room and prayed with our prayer group for both services.  We went into the next service after that.  Hailey left after the first service.  The second service was even better.  We prayed after service for our friend Ashton and his girlfriend.  We were very happy to see her come up for prayer, because she hadn’t wanted anything to do with going to church.  She had even broken up with Ashton a couple of weeks ago.  I asked her if she had received Jesus and she told me yes.  She did a confession of her faith that Bill led her through and then we prayed for her.  She hugged me 3 times.  I am in awe of what God does and how fast he can change a heart.  We sure were rejoicing.  

We came home and I made scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon and toast for lunch.  After lunch, we relaxed for a little while, then we had to get ready and leave to go to Sandusky for our friend Rudy’s memorial service.  It was partly sunny and 63 degrees out.  We met Jim on the way and rode together. Rudy was a CMA member/pastor for a long time.  We met him when he bought our first motorcycle camper from us.  We had taken it up to Copper Harbor and stayed in it,  and then sold it shortly afterwards because Bill wanted to get a bigger one.  Rudy was a big guy, and Bill wondered how he would fit in it.  Today his wife, Diane, said they fit well and loved it.  We would always try to find each other at events and visit for a while.  His memorial service was so good as it was a celebration of his life and his service for God.  There was a video of the pastor who led him to the Lord sharing how it happened.  It was so good.  The memorial was an uplifting service with lots of encouragement to those listening to make sure they are making plans for where they will spend eternity and how Jesus is the only way to heaven.  There was a delicious meal prepared for everyone to enjoy afterward.  There was so much food and so many desserts.  

We sat with Dave and Konnie, Jim and another couple and had a great time visiting.

We rode the motorcycle home and stayed warm all the way.  The sun was out and it was 59 degrees when we left for home.  I talked to Vikki while we stopped at a gas station.  Peyton’s burn is doing better.  She had hot water spill on her back last night.  She had a sweatshirt on which helped keep her from being burned more badly.  So thankful she didn’t blister.  Any kind of burn hurts though.
