July 19th Hope Lutheran St. Charles Mo. (Greg from St. Mark)
Finally on the Road! I don't like all the last minute planning for trips like this so for me the first high point of a trip is the moment the doors close. Then it doesn't matter what you forgot, because the trip has begun. For those of you that got an itinerary from us we really aren't gong to san Antonio, that was 2006. Mostly a road trip today. We had a pleasant surprise when we loaded at Our Saviors, the driver (Rich) was with us when we went to san Antonio in 2006. He's a great guy and good driver so I knew we'd be in good hands. Rich uses a GPS he calls Bertha. The problem with using a GPS, is that you tend to ignore road signs and believe the GPS. Bertha sent us on a few wrong turns. None so far cost us too much, except the tree branches and funny stares from people as we drive through a residential area. We stopped at a park for our first lunch, but we drove through a campground first (bertha). We discovered that Hope had a service at 6:00, so we decided to make it in time to worship with them, but taking 60 people to a rest area, and one "emergency" bathroom break caused us to get to Hope just before 7. Chris (OSLC) had a friend make taco in a bag for us. It was fabulous. Our sleeping quarters were a gym floor. We finished the evening devo and lights were out at 11:30.
Three or four of the boys from OSLC are musicians, and led the music. Lots of fun for me to backup some good players.
