Ron left just after breakfast this morning, even though his flight was scheduled out of Latrobe at 5pm. He stopped to have coffee with his son Matt, then stopped at his son Dustin’s Tire Shop. He also visited his good friends Judy and Joe – who live right by the airport. I, in the meantime, went to work, got gas for the car, and came home to cleaning up the BB&B: sweep, changed bed sheets, laundry, Wet-Jet the floors, vacuumed. Being a Proprietress is not easy! 🙂

Yesterday’s trip to Ohiopyle was indeed fun. It was chilly, windy and a little rainy, but there were moments of calm and even sun. We walked around and took pictures, and found things we didn’t know where at the park. We finally found a picnic table in a gazebo behind the pizza shop and had our supper there before heading home. The drive home was beautiful, as well. Such amazing views.

I’m not good at selfies – but see the falls over my shoulder???

Cucumber falls – there was a family with 2 tiny kids down by the bottom of the falls( not in photo)! Seemed crazy to me!

Wonderful view going home down the mountain – look at the clouds and mountains!

I will share Micah’s message – Walking with Jesus. We don’t see or understand what Jesus is doing. He has our best interest at heart, but we don’t have to understand what is happening right now. The Devil blinds our eyes so we can’t see the truth. Exercise your faith to strengthen it – just like your muscles! He read the passage of the stranger on the road to Emmaus and noted what hindered the men to recognize Jesus as they walked. 1) Impaired vision – Jesus meets you where you are. We don’t see what his plan is. When you have Jesus do you really need anything else? 2) Inaccurate view – We don’t see the whole plan, or who Jesus is. The men were sad and disappointed that this ‘man’ did not know who Jesus was. 3) Unanswered questions – only God can work it out. 4) Incredible vanishing. THE LORD IS RISEN INDEED! We should be EXCITED to tell the news. Let the scriptures open your eyes. Your spirit bears witness, and you KNOW the truth of who He is. Recognize Jesus. On a daily basis he gives us himself.
