Get in on the Blessings

Ok so Sister Pat had asked me if I knew anyone that had a stove for sale for a Missionary Bro. Sage. Well I had seen one here at our warehouse, but the boss was out of town on vacation. I told Sis. Pat about it, and she got all excited willing to pay for it, I told her not to I was going to try something. I was going to go before the church to see who could pitch in, you know so they can be in this blessing. She looks at me with this serious look, & tells me, “You mind what God tells you to do”. So I told her I would keep her posted if not her & I would split the difference, hey I want in on the blessing, hehe. So my boss came into work today, and I asked him straight forward I told him if he would sell it to me so I could donate it. I told him it was for a missionary that needed it, so he just looks at me, & tells me, “He can have it”. Amen isn’t God so wonderful, so now a missionary will have a gas stove, yay. Can’t wait to tell Sister Pat.

Traveling

I was watching the travel channel the other day, when I hear a voice I recognize, as I look up it is Bro. Sammy Allen at a Bar-B-Que joint in Lexington, Kentucky called Monks. Well I quick ran to tell my wife because they showed this clip before they went to commercial, so she tells me to call John so I did, & sure enough it was him. It was so cool to see someone you look up to on TV. Then just yesterday watching the travel channel again, when I saw a place called Hebert’s or something like that in Maurice, Louisiana, then I said hmm I think I have been there sure enough I have. They had this traducky, yes traducky , it was on with the show with strange food. Well it was a rabbit, a duck, & a turkey all d-boned wrapped into one gymormouse hunk of a turkey looking thing. Well then they show the boudin, which is good, then a placed called Soups which is the same owner they just have a restaurant, Then it hit me yes I know where that is that’s where Melinda had a ladies meeting once with the other church in Abbeville. It was so cool to see these places on TV. Oh yeah then they showed some Nutria rat that lives in the bayou, john told me once they were called neutral rats, they showed some people who catch these rats & eat them, then he had a surprise dish & it turned out to be Squirrel. Made me miss those cracklins they sure are good, oh before I forget they had to had an interpreter for the Cajun brother, The Host seemed not to under stand him, seriously have you heard the real Cajuns talk. It is like our tex-mex language all made up. Then I got that feeling of missing Louisiana, or Oklahoma, but Nah it was that feeling of just getting away from it all here, just traveling. But in the end no one can really leave the valley without missing it. So till my next though or wishful thinking I was on vacation somewhere.
