I Feel Drained . . . or is that the Battery

On Saturday, August 18, we headed for Raleigh, NC to visit a supporting church. One Sunday morning we left the house for church, but when we tried to start the car, all we heard were the annoying clicks of the starter trying to do its job without the benefit of an electrical impulse. Our host gave us a jump start and we headed off to church.
Along the way we got confused and had to figure a way out of the labyrinth parking lot of a catholic church! We had a good laugh and finally made it to our destination.
After the morning service, we were to follow someone to dinner, but once again the car would not start. Another jump start and we were on our way. Following dinner, we needed yet another boost. Fortunately, there was a garage nearby which had the battery we needed. Normally, we would not have transacted this business on Sunday, but our donkey was definitely in the ditch. Our supporting church then paid for the battery! What an extra blessing! The Lord was certainly good in allowing us not to have a problem where help would have been more difficult to obtain.
On Monday morning we headed out to PA and arrived just in time for Mom's home cooking. Now that is timing! After a very hot July in NC, we are now enjoying a cool, rainy time here. The creeks are running full, so we hope to dry out soon. We have seen several deer and a dozen turkeys in the fields behind the Pfaunmiller home. That's a good sign as hunting season draws near.
