Yes, you read it right!  We have a 'new' van. 

It's a 1999 Ford Club Wagon F150 12 Passenger (11 seatbelts, we need to replace one).  Thanks to some donations and a generous loan, we were able to purchase it from a seller in Franklin, NC.  It's in great shape and everything works!  God has blessed us far beyond what we ever expected, and we are extremely grateful.  God is working on our faith, and we are learning to trust Him more and more.

Now we are on the way to visit family in Florida.  We stopped at L's brother's house to visit he and his family.  We also made a stop by two cemeteries where some of L's grandparents and relatives were buried.  It is interesting and touching to read the variety of gravestones, and the epitaphs people chose.  Rather tear-jerking to see the grave of the soldier that died at 21 years old or the three week old baby, but it's a good thing, I think.

Well, not much time tonight, maybe more tomorrow or the next day...
