I arrived at my host's home on Friday, May 29 at 5:30 p.m. and got settled in. The picture is the home of Gene and Carol Yeazell which in seven years has hosted (according to Gene) over 600 guests! It is a beautiful home and a beautiful area.
This morning and early afternoon I was given a tour of the area of Gene and Carol to help get a feel for the "lay of the land." Later this afternoon then I loaded up my bicycle and drove to the Blue Ridge Parkway (only about 15 minutes from the Yeazell's home). I rode 14 mountainous miles- and I was done for the day. That was on top of a short hike earlier today to a waterfall (see picture) in the DuPont Forest.
The rest of this evening is being devoted to reading and journaling. Tomorrow I preach at His Way COB. They worship at 3:00 p.m. and I've been "forewarned" to expect worship to last 2 1/2 hours. That' OK with me! I'll share some pictures of that tomorrow.
Some really good news- my sister Lori and her partner Steph are visiting in Ohio with my mother and stepfather this weekend. When I spoke with Lori last evening via the phone she confirmed what I've been hearing in my mother's voice in my phone calls- since my mother has been taken off a number of medications she has vastly improved. Lori said she looks 20 years younger. Praise God!
