We're At The Border

We are settled into a campsite in Yreka, CA.  We've been told for leave purposes the "local area" is the OR/CA border to Fresno.  We are technically still in the local area and will continue the trip when leave begins tomorrow. 

We had a huge dinner at Black Bear Diner. EVERYTHING from the breakfast burrito and pancakes to the chicken dinner was appallingly large. 

The only snag of the trip so far is the new Adventure in Odyssey CD is stuck in our car stereo. This is very disappointing. We are in the middle of Volume 53....the trip goes much smoother and faster with Odyssey playing.  I think I'll find some pliers in the a.m. and try to pull it out before we finish the trip. We've also discovered one item we left behind - praying that's all. 


Game time! Story Cubes


Michael "watches the passes" via live cam and checks weather forecasts - The weather advisory for travel north of Roseburg, OR (the last bit of our trip) has been lifted! 

 It should take 4 hours or less to reach OR - but since we are pulling a trailer we are required to drive 55 mph. In any event we'll be there tomorrow afternoon.

Withering Roots

Other seed fell on the rocky soil where it did not have much soil; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of soil And after the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.  Mark 4:5 - 6

Sometimes things dry up and wither through no fault of our own.

However, shallow or unhealthy roots will always cause a plant to wither.

It's a theme I continue to see in Scripture. It is vitally important we take the time to disciple new believers. It is important our roots go deep into Jesus and His word.

What am I doing to strengthen my root system?

What am I doing to help others strength their root systems?  You say you aren't a leader? Are you married? Do you have friends? Do you work? Are there others in your workplace? Do you have a room mate? Do you have children? This is your circle of influence.

Are you root bound? Are you all tangled up in yourself and not giving a thought to those around you?

Yep, more on this tomorrow.
