Keeping Up the Travel Pace

Panama City Beach, Florida:

Following our stay in Alabama we headed down to Florida for a concert in Panama City Beach. It just so happened that we had no concerts for the few days following which allowed the family to spend a little time out on the beach.


The Gulf of Mexico.


Ready to have some fun digging in the sand.



The seagulls came in droves once they started discovering we had food for them.


Sometimes feeding the seagulls can be a little risky though. Getting splattered from one of the gulls is never a good thing! But thankfully there was plenty of water around to at least get most of the birdy residue out of Laurissa's hair. ;)


 One of our many "home away from homes."
The Walmarts down here look a lot different from the ones up north!
And inside is different too! Nothing quite like having a whole section stocked full of big fishing gear, tackle, and huge live bait.
It's too bad we didn't have our Florida fishing license.


It looks like these girls found themselves a new friend! ;)


Starting to make our way up north again! This time we sang at a neat little church in Macon, GA.
The people there are always so friendly and kind to us.


Thanks again, Church of the Wildwood, for giving us the opportunity to minister at your church. Y'all were a blessing!


Gospel Express Ministries:

Once again we attended the Gospel Express Prison Ministry held in the state of South Carolina.
What a blessing it was to all meet together for a special service and orientation Sunday morning!



Like the crusade in Alabama it was a packed, full + intense four days of ministry in various prisons across the state. 
Each one was SO special in its own way!  Every single prison had many people hungry and thirsty for the word of God and His teachings. We all came away very humbled and blessed.


Heading North:


On the road again; and this time we're headed to Kentucky!


Along our travels we came across a huge dam.
Stopping the bus we hopped out and did a little exploring.


Making our way across the dam.
Even though the whether was a wee bit soggy we still had a lot of fun.


Looking down the HUGE waterway. 


In Elizabethtown, KY we had an opportunity to sing at a soup kitchen for the homeless.
The room was packed full!


The time there was really good! Such a blessing to give a "cup of cold water" to those who are thirsty. It reminded all of us to never take for granted the blessings we so often take for granted; family, our music, time with each other, a place we can call home to go back to. So many things to thank our loving God for!


Making our way through Jefferson City, Missouri. 
fIt just so happened that the GPS took our bus right by the capital!


Sometimes we just need to take a break from traveling to get out and stretch our legs. 
One of these places was at a little antique town in Missouri where there was an old train station. 
All of us had a great time watching the trains go by (especially Dad, who's loved trains ever since he was a young boy!)


Another place we stopped along the great Missouri River. 
The water looked so cold!


We all had fun tossing rocks in and trying to hit the mini ice burgs floating down the river.



Until next time...

"Receive my instruction, and not silver; and wisdom rather than choice gold
For wisdom is above rubies; and all the things thou mayest desire are not to be compared to it."
Proverbs 8:10-11
