Road Trip Playlist 2014 #14

Review of June 18...

Fun day with my great Sacramento hosts Wayne & Claudia.  Wayne took me on a brief downtown history tour including a stop at Sutter's Fort.  Afterwards, we had a great lunch at a Mongolian BBQ with Pastor Rhodes & Jolene.  

The congregation at Antelope Road Christian Fellowship were another great group of supporters with whom to share. Asking great questions, they were really engaged throughout the presentation.

While I received a good reception on the west coast, back east, Keli and the kids gave their first presentation at 12th Ave Church of God in Alabama.  According to Keli, the kids all did great and everyone appreciated the presentation.

Now it's time to turn in the rental--goodbye Dodge Charger, you served me well.  I'll have to explain later how I ended up in that instead of a smaller rental, but there's no time, got to run to the airport while this road trip takes flight...keep reading to find out why, & the song of the day...

and now..., continuing with the 2014 Playlist...

Today I bid farewell to California and fly to Portland, Oregon today for a bit of an extra trip to Oregon.  Most of our support comes from Oregon, and no one has been more helpful to us in the planning and details of this home assignment than Jack Hansen.  Jack has met wit us by Skype, exchanged dozens of emails, and been an active "middle man" in coordinating our schedule and desires with several churches in the area.  He not only did the legwork on renting a van during our Washington & Oregon weeks, he also raised the funds for it to get it reserved and waiting for us next month when we return.  I could go on and on--Jack's been a great help in many areas, so I'm looking forward to hanging out with him for a few days before sharing with 2 congregations this Sunday.

I really enjoyed the Pacific northwest a few years ago, and I'm looking forward to spending a lot of the summer there.  Though this brief trip is great, it will be even better when I return with the family in July.  Speaking of family, I'm inching closer to seeing them again :)

And, after two months of heat, I'm looking forward to the cooler temperatures--even if it is only a little cooler.  So today is full of positive events--it could be one of the best days of my life...which leads us to the band American Authors and their recent hit, "Best Day of My Life"...
