Good services with David and Stephanie Herzog and John Mark Pool. We're currently in Tulsa attending the Glory and Fire Invasion. We're pretty tired but we've been enjoying the teaching and ministry of the conference.

Heatwave
Ok, I'm not trying to complain, but we've had an amazing heat wave. It's very uncomfortable and I don't care for it.
"The National Weather Service put 18 states stretching from North Dakota to Texas and East to Ohio under a heat warning, watch or advisory. It said as many 13 deaths in the past week in the Midwest could be blamed on the effects of the heat. In Oklahoma City The city is on pace to break its record for days at 100 or above — 50 set in 1980 — with triple-digit heat possible through September. The city is on pace to break its record for days at 100 or above — 50 set in 1980 — with triple-digit heat possible through September" There have been at least 13 deaths connected to this heatwave and I'm really surprised there's not more.

Boomer Sooner!
We're getting ready to make a trip to Oklahoma! There's a conference this week in Tulsa, with John Mark Pool and David Herzog, sponsored by Holy Fire Tabernacle. Lane is determined we're supposed to go and I'm not so sure. I don't have a leading one way or the other, so I'm following along in faith. I am excited to get to go so I can see my mother, son, granddaughter and sister, I've been feeling family-sick(kind of like homesick) and it will be wonderful to see them all again.

Good News, Bad News
OK, we were told when we moved close to World Revival Ministry that we could expect both blessings and challenges in our spiritual life.
Yesterday was an example of challenges with a blessing thrown in. When we originally thought we were going to be traveling in our RV throughout the 50 states of the Union we joined the Good Sam's service that would provide road service for our vehicles. At the time we weren't really aware that it covered our cars also, but that is a bonus that we've appreciated more than once now. When Lane was on his way to work the car made a loud and grinding noise, causing him to immediately pull over. He had to have the car towed (that's the blessing part, because we still had towing coverage) to a mechanic. The Good Sam representative had a tough time finding anyone that would take our car to work on it because they consider it too old. The representative finally found someone to work on the car but as soon as the tow truck unloaded our car there, the manager came out telling Lane that they "would not" work on the car, it was too old. I've never heard of a car being refused because of age and it makes me wonder, except that's a whole 'nother conversation. Thank goodness for Google, I was home and able to search online and found a mechanic shop that was rated highly, however he was too busy but still recommended another shop that would accept our broken car, now is the part that is challenging. The mechanic called today and advised us the car would cost $1500 to repair, that is more than we paid for the car. We're down to one car, the truck, and it makes weird noises and the transmission jumps. We are trusting God to provide or to keep the truck running, we have a lot of opportunity to practice living and walking by faith. =}

Sometimes 7/13/11
Sometimes things can be overwhelming. Sometimes it feels that the load you've been given to carry is too heavy. Sometimes you feel that you're too old. Sometimes you feel that you're too tired. Sometimes it feels that you're all alone. Sometimes it feels like running away is a great option, but you can't run from God. With God you're not alone, can't be overwhelmed, His yoke is light, you are eternal. Sometimes you need to remember that!

River Market, Corn 7/9/11
We went exploring our new city today. We had heard of a market downtown by the river that hosts a farmers market on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. We enjoy fresh vegetables, or at least I do and Lane tolerates my preferences so I'm always looking out for fresh produce, especially locally grown. The River Market of Kansas City is a big project! There are restaurants, stores, spices, fresh veggies, fresh-cut flowers, many things to tempt you to spend. We arrived there late but as it turns out that's a good time to get bargains! The people selling fresh produce don't want to take their vegetables home to spoil, so they drop the price. We bought a bag with 40 ears of corn on the cob for $5.00. Now I'm going to be searching with Google to find how to process all of those ears of corn for freezing. I wish we knew some people in our new town to share some with! I did buy some other things, green beans, tomatoes, a cucumber, and jalapenos. There were a lot of herbs there too, the smell of the herbs and spices were wonderful!

Prayer 7/7/11
Recently we attended church (July 3) and heard a message by Frank Seamster, after the message people went forward for church. Lane and I went forward and Lane was prayed for twice while I was waiting, the prayer warriors were moving through the throng and while I was waiting for Lane asked Natalia Seamster (the minister"s wife) to pray for me. Natalia Seamster was a very powerful prayer warrior. She prayed for the lying voices to be silenced and for any effects of lies to be removed from me. She prayed and told me not to listen to any lies to only trust the word of God, not to even trust "facts". As she prayed she told me that we would enter the gates of the tabernacle and run to the altar where we belonged. The prayer hit me very hard she would move her hand from my forehead to my stomach, then back up again. The prayer brought on tears and the catcher had to hold me up.
