2nd Day

Yeesh I'm exhausted after today.  I'm not used to being on my feet all day. 

This picture shows me in action putting labels on the mailers.  These packages were being sent to the "New Friends," or people who have signed up for the first time for the VOM newsletter.  The envelope also included a free copy of, "Torchured For Christ" by VOM founder Richard Wurmbrand.

I spent most of the day working with two Pastor's wives, both who are retired, Chong and Norma.  Chong is lightning quick reflexes, I noticed I was unable to keep up with her.  Both of them have been serving at VOM for 4 or 5 years now (they couldn't remember exactly).  Norma is across from me in the picture.

I had some good discussions with Norma about how God leads people in their life.  She gave some good testimony's about how her husband and her got the calling to pastor their church for 30 some years, than got the calling to retire, and than even got the calling how to spend their retirement time.  Amazing!

I was asking some of the guys/gals my age if anything was going on tonight: church gatherings, bible studies, movies... anything??  Nothing. 

So anyhow, I asked Norma if she knows of anything going on.  Norma and Chong go to the same church and had service tonight.  Works for me!!  Chong picked me up outside of my hotel after work and drove me.  At the church service there were only about a dozen people.  All of them 70's and older!  I found out that Norma has been married for 58 years.  Another couple was married for 67 years.  Is that even possible?

Another guy approached me and started telling me about how the Lord saved him.  Praise God!  He said that he had recently died for 4 minutes and came back to life.  I responded that, God must need you down on earth still.

The service started, and Norma got up from next to me, and sat in front of the piano.  She played, and we sang 3 hymns.  The pastor preached on the Prayer of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:9.  I was the only person that followed along on an iTouch Bible app.  I hope nobody thought I was sending a text message during church.

Last night before bed I was reading about my great-great-great aunt, and her mom and dad. It's an autobiography about how they lived during the late 1800's homesteading in Kansas.  I've taken a break from it, but started reading it again last night.  I prayed God would give me a landmark so that maybe I can drive through KS on my way back home to IL/WI.  So I started reading and came across a few towns they lived in.  Praise God!  My Great^3 aunt lived 7 miles west of Cheney, KS.  Her dad/mom moved to Kingman, KS.  Aunt's sister got married and moved to Murdock, KS.  The amazing thing is I'm currently on the top of OK, and those towns are on the bottom of KS!
