Sunday Night
Today I had off and it was nice to relax and attend all the services at church.This past week was very special as Evangelist John Van Gelderen came for Revival services Sunday thru Friday.I was really blessed and encouraged.About 10 soldiers total came during the week and one came forward and trusted Jesus as His Lord and Saviour! His name is Andrew Williams and he left for Iraq with his unit the very next day.I gave him some tracts for Christians and encouraged him to really live for the Lord.I have known John Van Gelderen's family for many years:his father,Wayne,Sr.taught me in Bible college and I travelled to the former Soviet Union with him about 15 years ago.Wayne,Jr.,was my pastor while I was in Bible college in Wisconsin.I am grateful for the love and service to God of the Van Gelderen family.Yesterday,I took a long walk just by the base where the old hospital complex was during WWII.I walked prayed,read the Bible and went thru a hymnal as my custom is.The weather was cool and comfortable with another beautiful Indiana sunset.Right now I am at the base I-net Cafe as I type[still with 2 fingers!].I frequently have to avoid this place because of the terrible movies that are shown here.I really cannot stand bad movies and the World's influence.I am so glad that I have a home in Heaven[John14:1-3]that will not be taken away!!!Looks like I will be working this Thanksgiving but over Christmas I have an approved pass[permission]to return to Minnesota; but only for 4 days.

Weekend went well
Friday I enjoyed travelling and Sat.I was very busy hustling from one unit to another.Altogether about 25 soldiers came for the special Thanksgiving dinner at church.I had to make 2 round trips with the church van.PTL they all enjoyed it[so did I].Church was great Sunday with more soldiers coming.I drove up to Indy.Monday was very nice in the Nashville and lake area. Wonderful time alone with the Lord worshipping Him!

Free Day
I woke earlier then 0500 and got up to exercise. The news helps to relieve boredom in the gym although sometime I bring my Bible or a book to read.It's now 9:30pm in the comp.lab[almost time for bed].Last nite the movie paying was so vain and bed i just left after a few minutes!Today was OK. I was able to get some letters and cards mailed and enjoy quality time at the library in Edinburgh.Later I walked fast along some pretty country roads in the are.The fall colors are beautiful! Great and edifying times with the Lord.Tomorrow back to work and then the early Thanksgiving dinner at church[New Life Baptist]in Franklin. Praying for at least 50 soldiers to come.Sunday after work I plan to be back in Indianapolis and the Monday enjoy my day off in the country.The Fall weather has been delightfully warm!
