I’m at a loss for flowery words.
Church was really good this morning.
The chairs were left in place for the memorial service this afternoon at 4:30.
Joel and Linda came over for church and took us out for lunch afterwards. I stayed true to my resolve to eat ‘right.’
We rested.
Memorial service for Keith Tiffany at 4:30. It was a beautiful service. The hall was full.
We rejoice that Keith is with the Lord and perfectly healed.
We pray for Carol.
Don and I walked over to visit with Carol Tiffany about the Celebration of Life service to be held for her husband, Keith, tomorrow at 4:30 PM.
On our walk, we saw this Italian made scooter. Strange looking vehicle but more stable to ride, I suppose.
The owner chats with Don and describes the operation to him.
This afternoon was our monthly CRM meeting of area chaplains. We all met a Dennis and Sally’s RV park, Alamo Rec Veh.
DAILY VERSE
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.Psalm 91:1
DAILY QUOTE
If you want to hear God's voice clearly and you are uncertain, then remain in His presence until He changes that uncertainty. Often, much can happen during this waiting for the Lord. Sometimes, He changes pride into humility, doubt into faith and peace. - Corrie Ten Boom
We were so impressed by a local couple, Roy and Cindy Cervantes, who visited our meeting to introduce us to their ministry: Praying For Peace in the Valley. Roy is a Border Patrol officer… for 23 years. Roy and Cindy are very concerned with what is going on across the border and spreading into the Rio Grande Valley and have organized praise and prayer events across the valley, inviting praise and worship teams from churches to lead these events with them. We were thrilled at what Roy was telling us and will share it with the Valley Chapel church at our park.
Eddie Bevill gave our devotional.
This is Dennis’s typical, “here’s a challenge for you” look.
The CRM ladies firmed up the plans regarding the upcoming God’s Worthy Women Retreat on February 19th.
After the meeting, the group moved to the indoor swimming pool for the baptism of chaplains Fred and Leila Pruess (pronounced Price). 
Praise the Lord!!
After a birthday party for December and January birthdays and anniversaries, we departed.
Very good meeting.
Bible study was excellent this morning as we studied more about heaven. We studied the significance of worshipping God in heaven and rehearsing here on earth.
We walked over the see Jake after Bible Study, but you know we always stop and talk to someone(s) along the way. This couple was on their way to the Hamburger Joint in Donna. Do you notice the two little things hanging on the back of their Honda by the license plate?….
…these small crescent wrenches are for when they travel with folks riding Harley’s. That’s a really cute idea, but they don’t look like they’ve been used, do they? :-)
It started… I could barely hear it, but it started. I personally prefer the quieter motorcycles.
May God provide safety for this nice couple as they ride.
We finally made it to Jake and Bonita’s. Jake has been in the hospital with excruciating pain in his back. Bonita sometimes plays the organ and piano for church.
Next was a stop at Clarence and LaVerne’s, but they weren’t at home. Clarence had a “spell” Wednesday night and missed choir rehearsal on Thursday and Bible study this morning, so we wanted to check on him. Guess he’s doing better or at the doctor.
We went to Jason’s Deli for lunch. I love going their and eating healthy. I can have a salad the way I want it and a cup of soup and Don can add an ice cream cone to his meal. You read correctly… I did not eat any ice cream.
Next stop, Sun Harvest, organic foods and nutrition grocery store. Here’s the result of that stop, prepared for dinner tonight:
Tonight, we went to the main hall to listen to the Cruisers, a 50’s band, and to watch the dancers. I took a few night pictures while waiting for Nancy and John, who had picked up our tickets and were going to sit with us.
This is the outdoor pool and hot tub area.
The pool and hot tub were empty because everyone was at the Cruisers concert.
When the music started, the floor was full.
There goes my 87 year old buddy, Cal (in the cowboy hat) and his bride of 67 years, Billie.
All around the floor they went, time and time again. Cal would never sit down, but Billie needs a break once in awhile.
Our friends, Monte and Lyla, could sure cut a rug!
Some really enjoyed getting into 50’s costume. Notice the rolled up jeans and the saddle oxford shoes. Bye-bye!
We stayed until Don’s back wouldn’t allow him to sit any longer in those chairs.

What is that in the top of this tree? A bird nest?
That’s kind of scary!! Click on this picture for a larger close up. I’ve never seen this growing in the top of one of these trees and none of the other trees here have this.
At any rate, it’s not pretty.
But these are.
The small chapel/prayer room looks so much better since all the over-grown shrubs have been cleaned out. Next… power wash the walls.
