HAPPY 46TH
ANNIVERSARY!
That’s right,
it has been forty-six years since we said “I Do.” We’ve had some major
traumas and some deep hurts and disappointments, but we can both say “God
is so Good.” We never imagined we would have the privilege of enjoying
this wonderful life of traveling and serving the Lord. We are indeed
grateful.
Since we left
Keswick at the end of September, we have enjoyed traveling through
Lancaster and the Amish area of Pennsylvania. We attended Noah, a
wonderful production by Sight and Sound. I had the privilege of speaking
to a Compassionate Friends Chapter near Philadelphia. We visited our
friends Art and Carol, Katie and Jason, and Harry and Janice. We had the
wonderful opportunity to visit with my cousin Steve’s daughter Monica and
her family. I hadn’t seen Monica since she was a tiny little girl and now
she, her husband and their four year old son all live in a wonderful old
house in the beautiful countryside near
Lancaster.
We also spent a week in
Gettysburg.
We spent time with our friend Cindy and visited Central Presbyterian
Church right on the circle in Chambersburg.
We then drove to
College Park,
Maryland, just a few miles from Washington, D. C. Although we have been to
D.C. several times before we visited the
new

WWII
memorial, the FDR memorial and the Holocaust Museum, places we had not
been before. Our hearts were saddened as we saw the toll 9/11 has taken on
D.C. Security was everywhere. It is not possible to get closer than about
two blocks from the White House. Years ago Glen and I toured the inside of
the White House, but now tourists must strain to just get a glimpse of it.
When we were at the
Holocaust
Museum, a guard announced everyone must evacuate a room where we had been
sitting in booths listening to taped wartime conversations. A woman had
left her purse in one of the booths and no one could go back into the
room, not even the owner of the purse, until security had checked it out
thoroughly.
We are now
parked on my cousin’s property in Goodrich, Michigan for a few days. The
trip from DC to here was full of color. 
Please pray
for Glen. He had another bout with his neck and back today. He was in such
terrible pain, we were able to get him in to see a Chiropractor this
afternoon. The session gave him great relief and he is doing much better
tonight. He will see the doctor again on Thursday. Please pray with us
that he will have continued healing and that our schedule won’t have to be
altered too much.
We have had
two special days of celebration this week. On the 25th we celebrated our
46th wedding anniversary, and on the 24th our granddaughter Kate turned 17
years old!

We had our
first ride in an Amish buggy this week, and Kate now has her driver’s
license. I am sure she will do fine if she can just find a way to keep her
parents and grandparents calm.
