Psalm 65

We had "church" as we drove this morning. We sang "This Is the Day that the Lord has made." We read a devotional and its related Scripture. Then we read all of Psalm 65 together, then memorized this: "You formed the mountains by your power, and armed Yourself with mighty strength. You quieted the raging oceans with their pounding waves, and silenced the shouting of the nations." (Gavin is helping me get it right as I type this.)

God delivered us from possible trouble on Saturday. A passing motorist alerted us to a problem with the camper. We discovered that one of the tires had thrown off at least half its tread--down to the tube! Why the thing didn't blow out, causing loss of control and a possible wreck, we don't know. We drove very slowly to the next exit, where there was a truck stop. The staff put us in touch with a mobile tire specialist, and three hours later he had us fixed up and on our way. Being Saturday afternoon, with most such stores closed, it was wonderful that he could track down the size we needed. We're all thankful.

We can see the dim shapes of mountains ahead as I'm typing this. Tomorrow we hope to arrive at Bryce Canyon. We first went there in 1973. We pulled in after dark during a magnificent show of shooting stars. We set up the camper and went to bed, waking up in the morning to a vista of gorgeous red rock formations right outside our plastic windows. We've been there since, always with the same sense of wonder. It will be fun to see the children's reactions.

I'm feeling very well--rejuvenated, actually. Wish you could all accompany us on this trip. Care to join us at the campfire tonight?

Love,
Carol
