Truck at night, lit up, with cross on front

     The purpose of this outreach is to visit the nearby Pilot truck stop each Sunday morning, reach out to as many of the drivers as we can and invite them to worship with us. We speak to them about Christ and the salvation he offers and pray with and for them. We give them our tract and offer a free new testament.
     This is not about bringing large numbers of folks to join us, it's about doing God's work as farmers. We plant the seeds and the Lord and the folks we speak to do the rest. We meet at RBC at 8:30a.m. and leave for the truck stop at about 8:45a.m. Back in time for Sunday School.
     Please feel free to join us if the Lord moves you so. You will be most welcome.

If you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat!
     "Lord, if it's you, tell me to come to you on the water." -Simon Peter.
   Peter may have been the first one out of the boat, but Jesus' invitation to walk on water is for you as well. That's where you'll meet him: out where the sea is high and the footing impossible. As a follower of Jesus, you want to go where he calls you. But walk on water? What does that mean?
    ~ Walking on water means facing your fears and choosing not to let fear have the last word.
    ~ Walking on water means discovering and embracing the unique calling of God on your life.
    ~ Walking on water means experiencing the power of God in your life to do something you would not be capable of doing on your own.
   Expect a few waves to slap you in the face. Failure comes with the territory - but so does the strong hand of Jesus, pulling you up when the bottom drops out. And so do brilliant successes and rewards that far outweigh any of the risks.

How to Winterize Your Car

By eHow Cars Editor

Winter can be rough on cars, so unless you live in a warm or moderate climate, here's a list of things you can do to make sure your vehicle is ready for the upcoming cold season.

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

Gloves
Blankets
Windshield Wiper Fluid
Wiper Blades
Kitty Litters
Small Snow Shovels
Auto Emergency Kits
Flashlight(s) and extra Batteries
Ice Scrapers
Tire Gages

Step 11

Don't put off a 30,000-mile full service, if your car is due.

Step 22

Flush the cooling system and replace the coolant, if needed.

Step 33

Replace the windshield wiper blades. Put windshield washer fluid in the windshield washer reservoir (plain water will freeze).

Step 44

Have the battery serviced (clean the battery terminal ends and add water) and load-tested to check its ability to hold a charge. If the battery is more than 4 1/2 years old, replace it.

Step 55

Use a tire gauge to check the tire pressure. Air contracts with cold, and the tires may become low as the temperature drops.

Step 66

Make sure there is air in the spare tire and that all the proper tire-changing equipment is in the trunk. Check the lug nuts and replace if worn,

Step 77

Make sure the tires are in good condition. If you are not sure what this means, ask a mechanic (in a shop that doesn't sell tires) for an opinion.

Step 88

Check the lights, heater and defroster.

Step 99

Keep the gas tank as full as possible to prevent moisture from freezing in the gas lines.

Step 1010

Get a brake check if you haven't had one in the last six months.

Step 1111

Put together an emergency winter kit for the trunk of your car: blanket, extra boots and gloves, ice scraper, small snow shovel, flashlight and kitty litter (for traction when stuck in the snow). I'd add bottled water and some preserved foods (candy bars, jerky, etc.).

Funny but...
A.A.A.D.D.
KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ!
Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Somehow I feel better,even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think,since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm ,and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye--they need water.

I put the Coke on the counter and discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk,but first I'm going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter,fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the f lowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers don't have enough water, there is still only 1 check in my check book, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled, because I know I was busy all darn day, and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail...

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!
