ROAD TRIP WITH GREAT REWARDS

I have to admit, I love to travel and especially I love to drive, but this week of 3000 miles sitting in the jump seat of a truck has been a real challenge. Sitting there unable to get behind the wheel of Ricks big rig was boring to say the least, but the scenery and weather has been fantastic. We arrived Monday morning at Green Thumb Seed Company where they had bagged up the beans that Joe Warner brought them last month to donate to our ministry and had us loaded in less than an hour with 600 bags of pinto beans and an extra 133 bags of black beans that someone else had donated after hearing of our ministry and the need to feed the poor and orphans in Mexico. So after loading the beans, we headed for Joe's house about 150 miles west of Oldham, S.D. where we loaded the beans. Joe gave me directions , one of which was you come to this gravel road and go west on it approx 18 miles, yea 18 miles on a gravel road with Ricks nice clean truck. It wasn't too bad though, and it was sure worth the ride to meet our hero grower and donor of the beans Joe Warner and His wife Barb. The temperature climbed to 62 degrees in the middle of South Dakota in January and we were loving it. We had lunch at Joe and Barbs and then loaded up three totes full of corn that we will drop off at a friend of Rick in Waco, and he will grind and bag it for us. Blessing after Blessing flows when we say YES LORD !! Rick has been praying about getting another truck for his ever growing ministry transporting donated food and other things, and while we where in S.D. someone called and asked Him "how much will a new truck cost" and Rick told Him about $150,000.00 dollars not pesos, and the caller told him to go ahead and get what he wants and He'll pay for it. Wow and Wow again. God causes people to be good to us AMEN. Well we are in Texas with about 550 mile to go and we had to shutter down for the night, So Adios
