LIFE IN JOHNS WORLD

Well I am a Happy Camper tonight(literally) Nug and I are out in the Motor home .Granted it is parked in the driveway.But one can dream of being Camped along a lake. My niece and her Husband arrived today.Along with their two Kids,Connor age 6 Hunter age 3.They drove from Texas.We have not seen them in three years.My Sister Trisha(the one that had the hurt leg) couldn't wait to meet her Grandson Hunter and get reacquainted with Connor.My niece Misty with whom I nicknamed her" Nelly" (After Nelly Olsen on Little House on the Prairie) was glad to be back home.She grew up in Grandma &Grandpa's house.She looked around at the changes that Dad had done and the new ones I'm making to the house.

On thursday.I rode with Elias ( My Pastor) We took some of the youth. To Ceres a small town near Modesto. A Church there puts on a re- inactment of Journey to Bethleham.

Finanlly it was our turn, They use about 100 acres to recreate the Journey that Joseph&Mary took to Behtleham.We went in groups of 32.Two woman dressed as Bible charaters Sarah &Ruth were our guides..Our first stop was a man dressed in Bible Character ,As he walks out of his tent he explains to us to pass the Jordon river, And to beware of the the Roman Soldiers.So we began walking ..And The Roman soilders appeared on horses and on foot.They yelled at us and asking us where we going,Sarah spoke for our group.She said we are trying to get to Bethleham.The Romans made us stand shoulder to shoulder,One of the Soilders stopped at me.
