Zanesville Trip

Whenever we need to do "city shopping," we typically make the 40 minute drive into Zanesville. If we need "Big city shopping" we make the 70 minute drive north to Akron/Canton or the 80 minute drive West to Columbus. Today Karen and I headed to Zanesville for a quick stop at Hobby Lobby, a browse through Sam's Club, picked up some supplies at Lowe's Home Improvement, scouted the clearance items at Gabriel Brother's and then, for a late lunch, stopped in at Tom's Ice Cream Bowl.

We enjoyed the day even thought the wind-chill brought the temps down to 13 degrees and there were snow flurries on and off pretty much the whole trip. We found several bargains, researched some future purchases, picked up some rooted blueberry bush stock, and praised the Lord for His grace and goodness in allowing this vacation time. We needed the break and it's been a good time of relaxation for both of us.

Tomorrow is unscheduled so we'll see what the Lord has planned.

Thanks so much for checking in. We greatly appreciate your interest and involvement with our ministry! As we look to returning to our regular ministry duties next week, we're excited about how the Lord is working at MMS and at Fresno Bible Church and are thankful for this time of rest and refreshment in preparation for a full schedule in 2009!
