Weekend at Harrison

Some pics of our weekend away with BB. We stayed at the Resort and had a fabulous time as always. Weather was great and we laughed a lot and came home and said, "I can't wait to do that again next year!"

Funny story. Years ago I attended a large Pentecostal church pastored by 2 lady Pastors. One of them was always trying to play match maker. She loved nothing more than to see young people she had nurtured in the faith get together, marry and produce children for the Sunday School.

One girl, Kathy comes to mind. Kathy walked with a limp and was a little self-conscious about her disability but Pastor V kept on telling her she was praying that God would send just the right man into her life. Kathy had a bit of an attitude and said, "well, just so you know if God wants me to get married He knows my address and He better just send someone to me because I'm not going out there looking."

Sometime later Kathy was living in a basement suite in a house owned by a lady who attended the church and liked to have girls she knew from church rent the suite. Before Kathy came Virginia. Before Virginia there was me.

Anyways.......Virginia had moved out but not all of her friends knew that. One Saturday night when Kathy was home, there was a knock at the door and a young guy was standing there who knew Virginia and was hoping to visit with her. He had caught a ride into town and gotten dropped off so he was there for the evening. Not knowing what else to do Kathy invited him in.

Yup, God knew her address and knew who to send her way. It wasn't long before Kathy and the guy who dropped in to see an old friend got married.

Saturday I was in Harrison Hot Springs and I saw them together. They've been married 20 years.
