YIPPEE YIPPEE, WE ARE HOME IN TEXAS

Howdy You'll:

First of all to bring you up to date on our final week in Coffeyville; There were only 12 present for our final Worship hour, as so many were either working or resting from the extra hours of the work (most were working in excess of 50 hours).

Was busy getting all the mail and paychecks distributed, just in case Judy's Dr sent her onto Oklahoma City, after her scheduled office visit on Monday afternoon. He was pretty pleased with her overall improvement. Although he still would like her to have further consultation with a more specialized Dr. Since everywhere he suggested to go was such a distance from Coffeyville, we felt it would be wise to just take our motor home and move closer to the area of the consultation, in case there is more procedures to get done. So of all of the possibilities we choose to have it done in Houston, Tx. at the Baylor University Medical Center.

On Tuesday morning we finished tiding up loose ends and getting the Endeavor ready to move. We pulled out around 10 a.m. and headed to Bartlesville, Ok to get medication and paperwork from Jane Phillips Medical Center, to hand carry to the Drs. at BUMC. We finally was on the road South around 2:30 p.m. We drove as far as the Indian Nations food/gas plaza at Antlers, where it had turn dark and was beginning to rain.

On Wednesday, the rain had stopped by daylight, so we headed into Texas. We made several stops as we weren't in any hurry. We pulled into the R&L Ranch at Rainbows End, near Livingston, Texas, about 3:15p.m. While Judy went into Wiehrs to visit, John got Litl' Red detached from the Endeavor and parked on the landing pad. John finished setting up just in time to go play Pinochle over at the Clubhouse .

The Doctor from BUMC, called on Thursday, and gathered some more information from Judy and scheduled her consultation for Wednesday the 9Th in Houston, which is only around 50 miles away from here.

While we are here, Ralph has asked that John take care of some more minor projects on their manufactured home. So that, card-playing along with all the other social activities should keep John busy that he doesn't get into very much trouble.

Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm were sure excited to see some familiar landscape, meaning that they may get some freedoms (Dad went and purchased a new tie-out today).

Our Holiday plans are to stay here at Rainbows End until after New Years Day and then head out to Sunscape RV Resort in Casa Grande, Az. We will be there during January, to assist, as needed, the CHRISTIAN RESORT MINISTRIES CHAPLAINS Don and La Von Baker. We then begin our next NOMAD projects in Tucson on Feb.4Th for 3 weeks, then go to Phoenix for another 3 weeks project. We will then hang around Phoenix area for another week or 10 days while Andy joins us to take in some of the CUBS spring training. Then unto Gore, OK for another 3 week NOMAD project. Then the plans at this time is to head towards Iowa for the Summer at ADVENTURELAND where John is suppose to be the overnight security officer in the campground there, while assisting CHRISTIAN RESORT CHAPLAINS Jack and Karen Gregory, with the ministry there.

You all may also keep up with us on a daily basis as we are now also posting on Facebook as John N Judy Long and also at Tweeter as ChaplainLong.

There are so many prayer request at this time that I need to organize them and make another post tomorrow along with the possibilities of some pictures.

We hope that you'll remember 'THE REASON FOR THE SEASON' and enjoy with your loved ones.

Again we truly appreciate everyone that prayed for Judy while she was in the hospital last month. We are also thankful for those of you that have enabled us to be out here full time by supporting us with your prayers, moral support of call,letter,and e-mails, also we want those, that financially support us to know that it makes the difference if we are to continue to stay out here on the road for Christ or not.

The closing scripture verse is Romans 12:1-8 also check out the CRM site as listed on the side of our blog, to find out more about CRM and how individuals can help.
