A Special Guest....

We had a special guest that drove up from Chatanooga, TN.  Eric Jackson, and now pastor of a church near Soddy Daisy, TN wanted Steve to go with him to Illinois to check on a mission job for drywall.  The Church of God there bought an old newspaper building - and now need to remodel it into a church.

Eric arrived early just prior to leaving with Chris to the emergency room, and prayed for him before we left for the ER and they left for Illinois.  It was definately not a typical busy morning.  In any case, by evening time we had all come back together again to share our day - and I cooked a throw-together meal before Eric began his trip back down to Chatanooga.

The flight for them was smooth and quick!  2 hours there - 2 hours home.  Otherwise it would have been 14 hours to drive!
It's always wonderful to see Eric and Amy Jackson.  Their family always reminds me of my daughter and her family.  We miss them all so much!!!  It was a really GREAT visit - but far too short of one!!!
