I took a few days R & R and drove to Mustang, OK for a conference. About 1,200 miles, round trip.
This was a conference hosted by G3 Ministries* and it was about the doctrine of Cessationism.**
It was just what I needed. Got to listen to and meet some of my favorite preachers, AND, when you are in an auditorium of about 1,000 other like-minded people, there are no strangers.
You can make new, life-long friends. Talking with people sitting around me refreshed my soul.
Two of those people were Mark & Julie from Michigan. They were too much Fun! Not only do we have a common spiritual belief but they actually built their very own ukuleles!!
And, we were staying in the same hotel so you know we HAD to have an impromptu ukulele session in the lobby one night.
We were a hit! I should have brought my TIP jar! Ukuleles bring people together! (Lisa, The Ukulele Fool says "Spreading the Ukulele Love." Find her on Facebook HERE. Also find her on Patreon HERE)
The conference ended mid-day on Saturday. After a quick lunch at WhatABurger (in honor of my grandson, West, who thinks they are The Bomb) I went in search of a quilt shop. Had to get my fabric fix. There is only one in Mustang,*** (Actually it is in Yukon, the town next door.) Threads of Tradition. HERE
Where I met Rockie! She was such a delight! Turns out we had more than just quilts in common. We stood at the counter and chatted for the longest time...until her customers pulled her away. She made my day!
The next morning, rising before the sun, I headed back home. What to my wondering eyes did appear in Springfield, MO?
If you need gas and it's lunchtime....you want a Buc-ee's!!

** The gifts of the Spirit ceased when the Scriptures were complete. Suffice it to say, it's complicated.
*** Mustang is a suburb of Oklahoma City, were there are several quilt shops.
