Kansas

We (W.A.C.C.) Bible Class teachers took our Bible Class to Sabetha, Kansas this past weekend. It was good to meet old friends, relatives, and make new aquaintences. Kansas is beautiful in the late spring. Green covered rolling hills. The crops off to a good start. The wheat fields starting to turn golden. Cattle grazing pastures. The weather was pleasant and they enjoyed an overnight rain.
The bus trip was relaxing and fun and the students seemed to enjoy the weekend and the activities that were planned for them by the Sabetha Bible Class. Christian fellowship is a wonderful blessing.
Our bus driver was a nice, middle-aged, black lady who has been driving a "coach" for 22 years. She was wearing her drivers uniform with pants. I invited her into church before we left to use the restroom, and we invited her to attend services with us in Sabetha. Her answer was, "No, I don't step foot in a church in pants." "I was raised in the old school of respect for God and Church." I told her she just earned my respect. She had her Bible with her and she worshiped on her own on Sunday. At the end of the trip, she complimented the behavior of our group. As an old farmer teacher, it has been a privilege working with co-operative, well behaved teenagers. God Bless you all!
Jenny, Heidi, Wendy, and some others went along to visit relatives and friends. I should have watched Heidi a little closer because she said she wanted to go back to Kansas before we even got halfway home!:)


Blest be the tie that binds, Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds, Is like to that above.
Before our Father’s throne, We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares.
We share each other’s woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows, The sympathizing tear.
When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again.
This glorious hope revives, Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day.
From sorrow, toil and pain, And sin, we shall be free, And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.
