FIRST SNOW....BRRRR
We awoke to the beauty and wonder of the "First Snow" of the year.
There's something magical and pure about the "new driven snow".
We arrived in Worcester yesterday. Had a good journey the whole way. THANK YOU for your PRAYERS!
We've met with the Funeral Director and the service for Helen will be next Tuesday, December 14th, in Milbury, MA.
We've been going through old photos and remembering this precious lady. I'm eternally grateful to Helen for bringing Cindy into this world.
This is a sad time....but a sweet time knowing that our dear Helen is with our Lord Jesus.
As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

A CLEAR ROAD & EXPENSIVE GAS!
Cindy, Ari and I drove 729 miles yesterday enroute to Massachussets. Gas got higher and higher.
A fill up costs us over $50!!
However, the road was clear with no delays.
We stopped to rest in Poukeepsie, NY, a very pretty city, on the Hudson River.
We'll continue our journey today and hope to arrive in Millbury, MA this afternoon.
We THANK GOD for traveling mercy thus far and trust Him to bring us safely to Cindy's family.
PLEASE remember Cindy and her family as we mourn the loss of Helen, Cindy's Mom.
As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!

WHOA.....
Folks, I AM NOT taking Ivermectin for Covid-19!
I'm taking it for a couple of wicked spider bites and it's working great!!
I'm just THANKFUL to have finally gotten a good and proper diagnosis (parasitic infection) on the spider bites. THANK YOU Dr. Steve for nailing it.
There.... "That's all I have to say about that".... (a quote from Forrest Gump).
So, in the meantime, Cindy and I are looking for a used, but functional, camper to give to a couple who need a place to stay.
The temperature is dropping into the 20's tonight. If you know who may have one (in the East TN area) and wants to donate it, please let me know. You may call me at: 1-321-544-7757. And...it is Tax Deductible.
Well, certainly didn't mean to stir up a hornets nest (on Ivermectin). We have plenty of work to do and a lot of folks who need help. No time to "squabble".
And....THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

FINALLY.....SOME RELIEF!!
You may recall, 6 months ago, I got bitten twice by a large spider in Haiti.
After going to multiple doctors to find relief, my good friend and great doctor, Steve Badolato 'nailed' the diagnosis.
My answer is IVERMECTIN and treatment has begun and relief is already coming.
THANK YOU DR. STEVE!!
BTW, IVERMECTIN is also a remarkable treatment for Covid-19 & BEYOND.
I don't understand why folks criticise a treatment that is so effective. Perhaps we'll never know.
In the meantime, I'm rejoicing in this wonderful development.
That old spider bite (the spider actually bit me twice!!) put me through "hell" for the last 6 months.
PRAISE GOD FOR RELIEF!!!
As always, THANK YOU for your faithful prayer, love and support!!

Love the fact that the City leaders plainly proclaimed, that indeed....CHRIST IS BORN!!
Suffice it to say, we love it up here in the Mountains of East TN. Many are not afraid to proclaim their faith in God!!
We're expecting our good friends, Dan and Charlene Andrews later today. They'll be spending the week with us.
You may recall that Dan & Charlene provided me with a very comfortable & adequate base of operation following the Louisiana Hurricane.

Oh, the headlines blair about 'OMICROM' and frankly, I don't know what to think.
So many "mandates" and conflicting and confusing statements coming from so many directions.
As for me and my house, we're going to serve the Lord and do what we can to help as many folks as we can.
We're going to LIVE LIFE & TRUST GOD each step of the way.
There, that's my thoughts for the day.
We're looking for another old, used, but "liveable" travel trailer for a family whom our Lord has brought across our path.
If you know of anyone in the Knoxville to Sneedville area, please give me a call at 1-321-544-7757.

MORE TESTS.....& A WARM PLACE TO STAY
As is usually the case...."one thing leads to another". After meeting with my Doctor, we've had more tests done to investigate some "suspicious" areas.
Again, we're standing firm for complete healing and the more evidence we find, will simply verify the miracle of healing.
In the meantime, we're busy serving the Lord. We're ready for...."The Next Mission".
I PRAISE GOD for the strength HE has given me during this time.
Meanwhile, Cindy and I are blessed to have Dr. Sam Winn and his wife Sheila as our guests here at the "Retreat Cabin", for the next few days.

WE'LL SEE.....
In the last 72 hours, there have been extraordinary news reports on this latest Super Varient, "OMICROM".
There is no question, the world is on edge and very apprehensive about these "mutated varients" that are popping up around the globe.
Here is what the W.H.O. is saying - "OMICROM" POSES VERY HIGH GLOBAL RISK...WORLD MUST PREPARE FOR IT
Of course, the W.H.O. misread many critical points when COVID-19 first appeared.
Here's another story that just came in regarding 'OMICROM' - WARY, WEARY WORLD SLAMS DOORS SHUT...FEARING OMICROM VARIENT
That is why, we will "wait and see" what develops.
However, one thing that I completely agree with this latest news from the W.H.O. is that we must PREPARE!
By that I mean, having an extra stock of food and means of getting clean water and batteries and medical supplies and prescriptions and extra cash, etc, etc.
Of course....don't forget to stock up on EXTRA TOILET PAPER!!
Why not take a look at your emergency inventory and stock up on areas that are short. You'll not regret doing this.
Today is called "CYBER MONDAY".
Why not add to the "Cyber Deals" extra PREPARING SUPPLIES!
One thing is for sure.....BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN VERY FAST.
You don't want to be caught short and 'wishing' you had stocked up when you could. Remember the Parable of the 10 Virgins in Matthew 25.
The WISE Virgins stocked up on extra oil when they could.
Just thought I'd share these tidbits of wisdom with you.
Above all, put your trust and faith in our Lord Jesus! He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will be with us until the very end!!
PRAISE GOD!!!
And, as always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

Of course, we should take precautions and use sound judgement regarding this latest outbreak.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! & AN AMAZING ACT OF GENEROSITY
First of all, Cindy and I would like to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Oh Folks, we have so much for which to be THANKFUL!!
I'd like to share a wonderful story with you.
Last night, I witnessed an amazing act of generosity and kindness.
It began with Cindy and I meeting a couple who were in need of a warm place to stay on a very cold night.
We were able to help them a bit. But there is so much more to this story.
While we were in Sunday School, we mentioned the plight of this couple and requested prayer for them.
At the same time, our good friends, Paul and Kathy shared how they were finally into their home, after living in a Camper for months.
I asked what they were going to do with the camper. Well, a long story short, Paul and Kathy DONATED their 28' Keystone Sprinter camper to Toby and Amy.
Last night, they picked it up and now, they have their own, warm space to sleep.
PRAISE GOD!!!
Paul and Kathy, THANK YOU for your generosity and love in behalf of our new friends, Toby and Amy!!!
Well, on this THANKSGIVING DAY, we PRAY that you are BLESSED by our Lord Jesus!!
And, as I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!!

ROUTINE.....
A good cup of coffee and a warm fire makes for a sweet routine here in the mountains of East TN.
What a great "foot warmer" and a "movie" to boot.
Many times, when I get up and sit at the computer to write the blog, I have absolutley no idea what to write about.
I just sip the coffee and on chilly mornings, watch an "episode or two" in the wood stove. I quietly ask our Lord to give me something to write.
Then.....I just begin plunking out something and thus...the daily blog.
Over 11 years and not missed a day....and still counting.
THANK YOU for meandering down this road of life with Cindy and me.
Next week, we should get the test results and plan our strategy. PRAYER is the foundation and TRUST is our strength.

NOT GUILTY.....
We, like the rest of the nation witnessed an incredible courtroom outcome.....NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS.
There was certainly a lot of pressure on the Jurors who took their time and came to the conclusion of self-defense for Kyle Rittenhouse.
The evidence that was revealed during the trial certainly supported the outcome....in my humble opinion.
Again, our nation is pretty much split. Some are rejoicing at the outcome and some are angry at the outcome.
Now, we PRAY for PEACE on our streets.
On another note, I came across this article on Haiti.
It is extensive, and gives many relevant facts explaining the tragic situation in Haiti.
Here it is: CHRISTIANS IN HAITI WORRY ABOUT THE RELEASE OF THE KIDNAPPED

AWAITING TEST RESULTS....
First thing is....I'm THANKFUL for excellent medical care. May we never take that for granted.
There are so many around the world that DO NOT have access to adequate medical care.
After the tests, now I wait for the results. The PEACE of God is keeping me, for I am in HIS HANDS.
In the meantime, working on "this old house" (101 years old). Have some mysterious water pressure "anomalies" that we're running out this morning.
Time to go buy some plumbing supplies to help solve the problem.
As always, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

ON THE ROAD TO KNOXVILLE....
This morning, I'll be driving from Bristol to UT (University Tennessee Medical) for some additional medical tests in Knoxville.
Part of my cancer treatment involves regular "surveillance". Recent tests indicate little or no growth of the cancer. PRAISE GOD!
However, additional tests (CT Scan & Bone Marrow) gives us good "bench marks" to go by.
I'm THANKFUL for these medical procedures that give so much vital information and for an excellent Medical Team.
Above all, I'm also THANKFUL for our Lord's HEALING!
We're STANDING & BELIEVING for complete HEALING!!
I'm extremely THANKFUL for your invaluable prayer, love and support!!

ELECTION DAY IN VIRGINIA....
Our PRAYER, is that the elections being held today will be honest and go smoothly.
We PRAY that our Lord puts HIS CANDIDATE into the office of Governor in Virginia!
Otherwise, it's cold and rainy here in TN / VA.
Kind of a miserable day to go out and vote.
If you live in Virginia, and you're eligible, we urge you to VOTE TODAY!!
Bristol, VA/TN is right on the State Line.
Meanwhile, been busy at the Bristol Air BnB.
Today, we're re-piping some of that old plumbing in this 101 year old house.
However, we're pleased that "This Old House" has good bones and will serve us well.
And as I say every single day and mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your precious prayer, love and support!!

WHO REMEMBERS TENNESSEE ERNIE FORD??
Well, we have to go into our "way-back machine" to recall this great singer who loved our Lord.
Little did I know, that when I chose to go to Anderson Street Church yesterday, it would be the "Home Church" to Tennessee Ernie Ford.
Just a bit history here. "Old-Timers", such as I'm becoming, certainly recall that rich, down home voice of Tennessee Ernie Ford.
Well, Anderson Street Methodist Church's Pastor, Paul Griffith delivered a POWERFULL message on Faith and Healing yesterday morning.
After Church, while I was speaking with Pastor Paul and his wife, Kathy, they pointed out that this church was Tennessee Ernie's 'Home Church'.
He even recorded an album at this lovely old church.
I found myself singing " 16 Tons" all afternoon until Cindy and Ari arrived.
BTW, if you've never heard 16 Tons, here's a link to this old classic - 16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford
And just to balance it out, here's Tennessee singing "THE OLD RUGGED CROSS"
Well, Cindy and Ari arrived safe and sound yesterday afternoon. So glad to see them!!
We're looking forward to enjoying a day together here in famous Bristol Tennessee, "The Birthplace of Country Music". More on that later.
As I say every single day and truly mean with all of my heart, THANK YOU for your precious and faithful prayer, love and support!!
