THE HEAVILIN HERALD
APRIL, 2009
Someone once said, “There is
nothing more certain in life than change.”
I believe we are living that
quotation. At the beginning of this month, we
were still in Morro Bay, California. Then we
changed our location to Redlands, CA.
After two weeks we changed to Yuma, AZ,
and we then changed to Casa Grande, AZ
for the weekend, and yesterday we changed
to Phoenix, AZ to visit Marilyn's cousins, and
we will continue to change until we
arrive in Peculiar, MO where we will be for
about a month before we change our
location again.
Along with our locations, the
weather has changed as well. In Morro
Bay we experienced a lot of rain, and in Arizona
we are experiencing a lot of very warm weather
and sunshine.
In Morro Bay we said goodbye to
many of our friends and to the church we
regularly attend in Cambria. In Redlands we had
a chance to see many of our dear friends and
attend our Home Church. In fourteen days we were
hosted to five lunches and five dinners!
In Casa Grande we visited
Marilyn’s cousins, Jim and Geordina Willett, who
winter in Casa Grande. We enjoyed attending the
Chapel in the RV park and were surprised to be
joined by about 400 other RV dwellers.
On Saturday, Marilyn’s cousins
took us to watch more than 50 skydivers who
landed right in front of us. Having a front row
seat to all of the action was really exciting.
Then we were able to watch people flail around
in a wind tunnel. These were both new activities
for us.
We are slowly working our way
back to New Jersey. We plan to be there by the
end of June.
We have made many new friends
this year because they found us on the internet
after reading Marilyn’s books and we plan to
meet them on our travels East.. We are so
grateful that the ministry of her books
continues.
Some of you will remember in 2005
when we were able to select memorial cherubs at
Precious Moments in memory of our boys. We have
loved receiving pictures and notes from people
who have stopped by to see the statues. Well,
one of the changes that has occurred
recently is that Precious Moments is rearranging
the walkway design and the cherubs are no longer
needed. We have been given the option of taking
possession of the statues which weigh 300 pounds
each! Now can’t you just see us storing three
300 pound cherubs in our rig! I think we have
found a home for them and now we are working on
the shipping that will be involved.
We are adjusting to all of the
changes that have come upon us
recently. Our recent changes have been
minor compared to some many of you are facing.
I am reminded of the verse in Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares
the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm
you, plans to give you hope and a future.
In this time when change seems to be in
control, we can have confidence that Jesus does
know about us and He has a plan for our future.
Glen and Marilyn
