Taylor

We spent an enjoyable weekend fellowshiping and worshiping in Taylor, MO. We hadn't visited for many years, so when we received an invitation on an open weekend we accepted. We made new friends and renewed old friendships. I always enjoy crossing the bridge into the East Quincy/Taylor bottoms and driving west across the flat, fertile, farmland. Then, you hit Taylor and drive up into the scenic Missouri hills. I like the contrast. I've been to Taylor numerous times; with family, young group, and passing thru on vacations. But the two most memorable times I spent there where during the '73 and '93 floods. During the '73 flood, I helped evacuate a farmhouse and buildings. During the '93 flood, I helped do levee patrol and sandbagged levees. It's always good to see the resilience of the area and the people.
Missouri also has cheaper gas than Illinois.

It was a blessed weekend.

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:3
