Fellowship

Friday noon we headed west for the weekend. We encountered some heavy rain and some hail on the way, but the trip went well.  We spent Friday night in the suburbs of Kansas City with my sister and her husband.  They took us out to J. Alexanders for supper, where I had an excellent prime rib dinner.  We visited late Friday night, slept late Saturday, did a little shopping, and then headed for Sabetha and Bern Kansas for the rest of the weekend.

We were in Bern for Micah and Olivia's wedding on Sunday.  We had a supper, singing, and good fellowship Saturday evening at the church. It had been a long time since we've been in Kansas, so it was great to get to see so many people we haven't connected with in years.  We stayed at a cousin's house in Sabetha Saturday night and had a nice visit, and then went to another cousin's house for breakfast Sunday morning.  We enjoyed a blessed day in church, a nice wedding and reception, then we changed clothes and headed for home.

The weather was beautiful Saturday and Sunday, so it was a nice driving .  Some people don't like to travel, they just want to be at their destination.  Not me, I enjoy the journey.  I like driving, sightseeing, watching the crops, and viewing the countryside in general.  There are historic towns, old grain elevators, and machinery dealerships to see.  We crossed three major rivers; the Illinois, the Mississippi, and the Missouri.  The rolling hills of Missouri with its woods, rock formations, and farms, and the rolling farmland of Kansas with its mix of crops and livestock make for an interesting drive.

Missouri had the cheapest gas, so we filled up three times on our trip.  The cheapest we paid was $3.17 per gallon.  Gas at home was about $3.39.

Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
