Sunday

Today is Sunday and a travel day.  It has been a struggle to go to church each Sunday.  First you have to find a church nearby and then you have to find a church with enough parking for the Rollin ACE.  It is much easier to tap the snooze, roll over, and say it is too complicated.  But we didn't.  We got up, walked the dog, showered, got beautiful (me not Chris), unhooked the utilities and headed to a 9:30 service in Tupelo.  It was in a residential neighborhood, lined with trees, and not much parking.  We did find a library a block away that had room.
The service was good but the sermon was great and hit home.  It was about keeping the Sabbath.  He talked about God creating the world in 6 days and resting on the 7th, then the commandment--keep the sabbath.  He reminded us of the days when nothing was open on a Sunday. But now our children have sporting events even practices on Sundays. The message to us was clear...we need to plan Sundays into our travels.
After church we headed to our next stop.  We were starving and we were in the middle of nowhere.  I got on my trusty trip-advisor to find a great place for lunch.  There was a #1 restaurant just a few miles off the highway.  Best southern food ever!   We drove tree-lined roads (trees are not friendly to motorhomes) to a very small town square.  Amazingly we found a place to park.  Walked up to the restaurant to find it was closed.  They were keeping the Sabbath.  Ok God...I got the message.
Lunch was a ham sandwich in the Walmart parking lot.  Then we headed to Pohattan, Arkansas to Lake Charles State Park. It s a beautiful park and we have a pad on the lake.  The road here was narrow, winding, and no shoulder.  Guess who happened to be driving.  Chris asked if I wanted to trade drivers when we turned off the major highway but it was only a mile away and how hard could it be?  Well, it was the longest mile I have ever driven.  Next time we will trade.
It is very hard to post pictures on the blog.  I have to work on that.
Peace my friends.  Barbara
