Melody Mountain Hotel

 Oh the memories that flooded in as we pulled up to Meacham, OR!!!  On our way to Spokane (yes, I’m a little late with this post), I just couldn’t pass up stopping to see my cousin, Lon Thornburg, and his family who own and run a huge piece of property called Melody Moutain Hotel.  It has been [...]

The Body of Christ

Jesus has brought us to an amazing church here in Spokane.  We made contact with Jacob’s Well  over the internet and they welcomed us into their small parking lot last night with arms open wide.  As soon as we rolled in we knew it would be the perfect spot for us and God has confirmed [...]

Greasehunts

So we made it to Spokane.  We are currently (Saturday) staying at a church called Jacob’s Well.  Last Thursday Tim and I went on a greasehunt to try to find enough grease to make it to Spokane.  We found two 15 gallon containers to store it in, borrowed Dan Bingaman’s Toyota truck (thanks Dan, I [...]

Getting Dirty

Former Gang Members Tatoo Removal: Boise, Idaho

 

From crosswalkers to gang bangers, Jesus can use us all!

So, we were wondering how to sum up the last few days and realized how much has been happening!  We thought maybe a summary of all the people we’ve met might be interesting.  So, here is my attempt!
Tuesday:  Met Bob, Cori, and Timothy (their son) at the Burns RV Park.  Bob has been walking a huge [...]

Appointments

After making our way back to Eugene for what we thought was a detour, we learned how deliberately God is directing our steps.  The Fidanzo’s rig needed some final work to run on vegi, so instead of going east from Portland, we decided to go south and then east from Eugene.  Tim and I showed [...]

We are off!!!

Here is a run down of the past 5 days:
Thursday – finished up school, and really, I don’t remember that far back.  Took back our second brand new laptop because it wasn’t working with the cellular card (I got to know the guys at AT&T on a first name basis).
Friday – Began the Tetris game trying [...]
