And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15 (KJV)

Our Travel Storybook

  • Upon retirement in 1998, we got our first 5th wheel trailer and enjoyed getting out and experiencing the beautiful natural world as much as possible. But in May of 2023, we decided to end our RV camping life, and sold our final trailer. We now plan to concentrate on flying to destinations that are not practical for us to travel to in a RV. We enjoyed our RV travels, but now we are moving to a new phase of our exploring the world around us.
    • Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any vertue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. Philippians 4:8 (NKJV)
