We had an excellent trip to Branson this past week. The weather there was very cold, 20’s and 30’s for highs with a strong wind, but was still enjoyable. We did make one change in our schedule from an outdoor event Wednesday night to an indoor one. It just didn’t sound like fun riding around in an open wagon looking at lights in 30 degree temps with a wind. The Chinese acrobats were a much better choice!!
The Lord always provides everything needed on these trips. We had two who had to stay behind because of last minute health issues, but we still had 21 go with us. We had a very close call on the way up. A mid-size SUV came across a divided highway trying to beat traffic and didn’t see a full-size pick up just two vehicles in front of us. The lady t-boned the pick up and spun it around 180 degrees. The pick up almost turned over but continued down the road for another 75-100 yards and immediately caught fire. Ken Clonts was driving and was able to get our bus stopped before hitting anyone. We then ran to the burning vehicle to get the passengers out. There was only a driver and she was able to make it out of the passenger side door just before we got there. Her truck was totally destroyed but both drivers were ok, with only minor injuries. We had to reroute, but still got to Branson on time.
This is the time of year when many are doing their year-end giving analysis. Remember that it might be more beneficial to you and the church for you to donate appreciated stock rather than cash. If you would like information regarding how to make this transfer, please contact Betty, Karen or me.
