I’ve about decided to give up on posting pictures here. Will just put them in my Facebook album. Hope you’ll check them out there.
But here’s one that will give more evidence that we are still on the road and not making very much time since we stop to check out (and take pictures) of anything that interests us. Even had to go back down the on ramp and up the off ramp to get this picture. No problem out here where we were the only on/off traffic since the last tourist missed the turn 
We’ve had such limited access to the internet that I’ve found Facebook is the best way to upload pictures. I’m learning more about this new generation of teens. For example, the average teenage girl can talk on Papa’s iPhone, text on her cell phone and still carry on a fairly decent conversation with the old man.
And another thing… Location, distance and civilization is determined by BARS… not the kind they sell booze in – the number of bars on her cell phone. ”I can’t believe anyone could live out here without bars, Papa!” And the incredulity of her voice was bordering on panic.
Thank you for praying with us. We have had the opportunity to share the Gospel with many along the way and fellowship with a delightful family from CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ) who were staying in the same motel with us. Pray that we will see and seize every opportunity to share our Lord with folks along the way.

Private Sam Watkins, 1st Tennessee Infantry, CSA, was a scared young man when the hoard of yankees, outnumbering the Confederates by almost 2 to 1 assaulted his position. He rose up over the earthworks and fired into the wall of blue uniforms. His musket ball passed all the way thru one soldier and into the man behind him, killing them both.
Before he could reload, an enraged yankee confronted him with raised rifle. ”Damn you, Reb. You just killed my two brothers. Now I’ve got you!”Before he could pull the trigger, a hand grabbed the gun and snatched it away.
Private William A. Hughes, Watkins’ fellow soldier and good friend lost his hand and had a badly mangled arm as a result of his action. After the battle, Hughes was sent to the back to recover. However, after painfully suffering many days, gangrene took his arm and then his life.Hughes was eventually awarded the Confederate Medal of Honor. But the greatest honor that he could be given was that paid him by his grateful friend, Private Watkins. He testified of his friends love: “nobody ever loved me as much as my friend William. He gave his life to save mine!”
Over 1,900 years before the battle on that Georgia mountain, Jesus Christ told His followers: ”Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)And then, Jesus laid down His life for those friends. AND FOR ME AND FOR YOU!
