Weekend Getaway

Here is the update I promised of the weekend getaway. Aaron and I decided to take a trip to Gatlinburg for a couple days. We rented a cabin in the woods and it was beautiful. It was decorated in "cowboy" attire with pictures of John Wayne, and Clint Eastwood and other Hollywood Western Icons as well as horseshoes, deerskins, deer heads, comfortable furniture and very spacious. One thing I remember was that the table was set with ceramic plates and matching bowls; but, the bowls were so large and deep...ready for a bowl of homemade chilli or stew. Mmmmm.

Friday we looked around in Pigeon Forge and found a few good deals. We went out to eat and went to see the "Miracle" show. It was a show. Then on Saturday, we went to Gatlinburg and hunted for a few things that we were after. I found my funnel cake, and my frogs. Then Aaron and I found some great Christian T-Shirts that were solid and held to the Word of God. That is something we have been really wanting to find.

What was really great were the many opportunities we had to share the Gospel and leave Gospel tracks. It was truly a blessing! Also, we were able to meet with a gentleman who ran a Bible translation museum and fellowship with him for about 3 and 1/2 hours. Another blessing from the Lord!! In talking with him we found out that his first wife passed away with cancer. It was good to talk to someone else who has gone through what we are going through now. He shared with us a couple things that had happened during his wife's fight with cancer such as coming completely off all medical intervention and choosing an all natural course of treatment and the Lord giving her another 6 years to be with her family. It was truly amazing. What a blessing the Lord bestowed upon us on this trip.

And that was our weekend getaway...long overdue post.
