Vacation 2010 – Day 21
Wonderful church service this morning at Central Church in Lenexa, Kansas. We met Becky Nichols there. After the services she showed us around the building which is HUGE. They have an average attendance of around 600 in two services. After that she drove us to the...
Vacation 2010 – Day 20
God granted Sharla and I an extra hour and a half sleep this morning, by apparently keeping my alarm from going off. We were scheduled to call her sister, Lois, when we were up and ready to go (about 8), so we could plan breakfast. But all of a sudden I woke up to...
Vacation 2010 – Day 19
We left our motel near Hebron, Kentucky (a VERY nice place!), and headed southwest. Our goal for today was to get to Sikeston, Missouri, where Sharla's sister, Lois, lives, by way of Mammoth Caves, Kentucky. Sharla had been to Mammoth Caves once before, and wanted...
Vacation 2010 – Day 18
I didn't get the blog updated yesterday, because we got in at midnight, and were both totally wasted! Yesterday we had a half-day of speakers, and then were at the Creation Museum again for about 4 hours. After dinner, we went back for a special after-hours...
Vacation 2010 – Day 16
Day one of the Answers for Pastors Seminar. Very, very good! We got to the church where the seminar is being held WAY early. Planned a 30 minute commute from the motel, and it turned out to be 8! Even though there was a lot of rush-hour style traffic, it turns out...
Vacation 2010 – Day 15
We spent today at the Creation Museum. What an amazing place! This was a spectacular day, and we can both recommend the Museum unconditionally. Everything is so well done, and so carefully plotted out that you can't help but be stirred. I understand that many...
Vacation 2010 – Day 14
Went to a Christian Missionary Alliance Church this morning. Very good - kind of reminded us of our church back home. About the same size, the same friendly atmosphere, and even the pastor's preaching style! Overall a very good worship service, a very good message...
Vacation 2010 – Day 13
Today we slept in a little. Both Sharla and I were very weary. We decided to devote most of the day today to Hershey's Chocolate World. It is kind of a Disney meets chocolate bar infomercial of a place that really was very enjoyable and entertaining. (Sharla said...
Vacation 2010 – Day 12
Today we went to Independence Square in Philadelphia. What a wild area of contrasts. In this 20 square block area there are the huge tall buildings of the 1700's (Like Independence Hall), which max out at about 5 stories, surrounded by 20 story skyscrapers (many of...
Vacation 2010 – Day 11
Slept in a little bit this morning. Not surprising since both Sharla and I were really wasted after so many late nights and early mornings. So it was 11 a.m. when we finally hit the road for Philadelphia. We decided to stop in at Valley Forge, which is just west of...
