Finishing In Mississippi And The Road Home

Our last full day in Mississippi was Sunday and we had two great services at White Plains and enjoyed the fellowship tremendously. Pastor Ricky Boler has a ways to go before he is completely well, but he felt like he was able to preach the following Wednesday and turned us loose after Sunday. 

The folks at White Plains treated us so well and we enjoyed the eight services we were there. May God bless our friends.

Kelly Jo hit the ground running after church Sunday night and by Monday morning we were ready to roll. We sure do miss being in the bus at times like this.

Kelly does most of the driving on these trips and does a fantastic job. She is very hesitant about driving the bus though. If we keep traveling like this, I wonder if she is willing to drive a U-Haul truck? It looks like we need one for sure.😍🤣

We had already planned lunch in Laurel, Mississippi on Monday so we headed there first before pointing the Jeep toward Ohio. 

We met Pastor Kenny Morris and Sis Joan, Pastor Scott Morris and Sis Kim, Pastor Andy Stringfellow and Sis Tina and Bro James and Sis Faye Hunnell. It was so wonderful to see our dear friends and spend a few moments with them.

This was the very first time since the stroke that I had sat down with people other than my immediate family and tried to eat. I nibbled on a few green beans and greens. I did not dare try to eat meat.

It was not a super accomplishment, in the grand scheme of things, but it was a momentous occasion for me and KJo. I ate a few ounces of tender Ribeye a few days before, which put a big smile on my face!

Unfortunately, the bread is completely off-limits. 

Now a few pictures from Monday.

It took us parts of three days to drive 700+ miles and I felt the effects all along the way. As you may remember, I did not plan to travel this far all summer and I hope to avoid it the rest of the summer. However, doing my best to help my friend was worth it.

I should have plenty of time to recover. Thank you for stopping in today.
