Washington D.C. Here I Come

Yes, a trip to D.C. My wife, Susan, is already near there doing a training week for her job. This is her third trip like this. I will be going tomorrow to meet her at the airport there and then we will go to a hotel near all the national monuments and museums.

I have never been to D.C. Susan has just been through a little, looking through the bus window, for her work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife. So, we are excited to get away for a weekend to see the capital and Smithsonian, and all the other monuments. There is so much history and so much Christian heritage that made this country great. I was watching a show on Abraham Lincoln yesterday and it will be awesome to see his memorial. He stood on Bible Truth during an incredibly difficult time with the Civil War and signing the Emancipation Proclamation to free the slaves. It would have been easy to cave in and just go the easy way, but he stood for Righteousness.

But, I digress. It will be a good break for us to spend time together as our lives have been so hectic. Susan is usually gone to work with travel 11 hours a day. This does not count the hours she puts in for church ministry. So, we are busy, but thankful for God's provision.

It is suppose to snow tomorrow. I believe I will fly out before the snow comes and slows down the airport. It is suppose to be a six-inch snowfall. I am going to have to give my son, Grant, some pointers on snow blowing, today, before I go.

I hope to give you some photos of our trip next time. It is exciting as we have always wanted to see the Capitol of our nation. I understand that there is so much to see that it could take weeks if you tried to see it all.

We all need to remember the great triumphs of our nation and great heroes as they persevered through great trials. This gives us confidence that we will overcome the financial recession that we are experiencing and by putting our trust in God again, He will see us through.

The faith of our founding fathers is important to us as it was to the Apostle Paul when he spoke of Timothy's heritage of faith.

2 Tim 1:55 I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. NIV

We need to be reminded of those that stood in faith believing God and His Word to direct them through the adversity they faced. This will cause a faith to rise up in us to overcome the trials we are facing today.
