Well, we’ve reached the mid-way point in year 10. To me, it is just as exciting and rewarding as it was the first time we served at the Havins Unit so many years ago. I guess you could say we serendipitously (the word of the week) found ourselves in a place where He needs us to serve. The rest is history and all glory goes to Him.

It was a beautiful weekend to be on the road. Our journey, as always, was interesting and full of surprises ranging from an unlocked trailer door, to a battery scare, to a speeding ticket. You just never know what is in store with this group. Sometimes I wonder what might happen next! It is always interesting. It is big fun serving with From The Dust.

It’s my turn to come up with the new word(s) of the week…Hirundo Rustica. Sounds like a delicious Italian dish on the menu at your favorite Italian restaurant…or maybe not. This is the name for 1 of 636 recognized (Texas Ornithological Society) bird species found in Texas.

A special “Thanks” goes out to all at the Boyd Unit for a great visit. The staff and CO’s were extremely kind and helpful. Approximately 265 attended services on Saturday and another 175 on Sunday. We witnessed 18 responses to the Lord’s message.
