Heading Off For Another Peacemaking Weekend

Published by at 7:11 am under Happenings

We are headed off today for another weekend of teaching Biblical peacemaking principles.  This time we are traveling outside of our usual territory of Iowa and Missouri.  We’re going to Kansas.  It will be about 6.5 hours to get there.  But the kids have become veteran travelers.  With all the electronic crutches available today, it’s not that hard really.  I remember when having a Mattel electronic Football game with red LED’s that lit up as you mashed the buttons with three rows to choose from as you blipped your way across the little screen made for hours of mind numbed entertainment.  That’s nothing compared to today!

Anyway, we will be seeing our old friends, Tim and Linda Johnston, who used to attend church with us before they moved away.  They saw us at camp meeting last summer and Tim’s brother Tom attended the peacemaking sessions we had there.  Tim was convinced that his church could benefit from learning these things and was diligent in making sure that we got scheduled to come out there.  His persistence paid off and we are on our way.

It’s rainy this morning and I understand that the weather is pretty snowy out on the great plains – so this could be an interesting trip.  We’ll update you when we get back.
