Sunday morning Elizabeth, Emily and I went went to the Bethany Methodist Church, Jonesville.  We had a crowd of 32 even though the electricity was off.  I preached from I Kings 8, the subject was "if we fall away from God, he is there to reunite with us.  Following the service we went to the Jones’ home for dinner.  Following dinner we return to are home till time for the evening service.  We were traveling to Oak Ridge to the Trinity Methodist Church, when our truck died.  It has a problem with the Alternator or Battery.  I was able to restart the truck by popping the clutch as I rolled down hill.  We were able to reach the Trinity church and met with the great people there.  We sang traditional Harvest songs and I preached from Matthew 13 1-9, The Parable of the Sower and the Seeds.  I encouraged the people to consider what kind of soil they are.  The Lord was there and hearts were turned to God.

When it came time to return to Jonesville, the truck would not start the men of the church and community after several good pushes got the car going and we traveled home.

The reason we did not take the boat, was because I am still learning the canals and shallows.  With the decline of the truck I will have to spend more time studying the waters.

God is Good!
