(The Master’s College) I wanted to go see the landslides at Malibu, so that’s where Bob and I headed this morning….and ended up at Venice Beach. (It’s south of Malibu about 20 miles) It was warm enough that we didn’t put on a jacket even in the morning, and got up to 94 degrees before the day was over. We sat on the beach and watched the surfers in the morning, and then after lunch we walked the beach, and found a whole lot going on…I’ll include pictures. ALL kinds of people..we learned that it’s one of the more liberal beaches. [View Full Entry]

Good Friday (The Master’s College) Friday~~Tour Day. This morning we left at 6am (that’s in the morning. Our lifestyle doesn’t mess around with 6am very often!) to go on what turned out to be the best tour we’ve ever been on. We traveled for a little over an hour to go to place that passes out food to people who then distribute it to the needy. We circled for prayer before we left the campus (we always do before we leave as a group) and got to the distribution point in time for a little introduction, and then their prayer time, [View Full Entry]

(The Master’s College) Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We've been without internet for the past week (the college kids were on spring break, so they took that time to work on the computer system.....talk about suffering!) But anyway, I'll get some entries on as quickly as I can. Saturday we went with Wayne and Lois to Solvang; a village about two hours from here. It is a Dutch town settled by a group of people from Pennsylvania, whose goal was to keep their heritage alive. The buildings are of that style, as well as the clothing in the stores, and the food [View Full Entry]

(The Master’s College) Wednesday we (all of us) went to a piano recital by two of the college students. They said they need to practice performing, and it’s much easier to do that with an audience, so they invited the RVICS. They played very well, and then they visited with us about their programs, plans and practice. They also told us about the Steinway piano they were playing on: it was the piano used by the composer of the melody for the Lord’s Prayer. The composer sat in an arm chair, laid a board across the handles of his chair (that’s [View Full Entry]

(The Master’s College) This blogging thing isn’t going so well now that the temperature is above 80 every day! The trees are blooming, the grass smells good, and the sun is shining. Our days are filled, and the projects are going very well, but sit-down-time-inside just isn’t happening! The men have finished all three houses (we keep telling them they do much better at painting than we do, and we’re going to recommend them for all the painting jobs!) Today they started work on an administration building. I worked in the Biblical Counseling office all of last [View Full Entry]

(The Master's College) Happy Birthday to my dear grandma! The Master’s College is north of LA, and I will tell you more about that later. The important thing is that we have cell service AND internet! And a new couple on our team: Kyle and Carolyn are from Illinois. Being back at a college is exciting. We’re on the north campus, and it's mostly music majors and biblical counseling. I walked along the outside of the classroom building behind us, there was music coming from every room! There are senior recitals scheduled almost every night we’re here~~also, sever [View Full Entry]

(Oak Glen CCC => The Master’s College) We finished work Tuesday, and Wednesday we all took a tour through the Fleetwood (RV) factory. It was interesting to see how the rvs are made, and was personalized because one of the people on our tour (but not an RVICS person) was having his unit built, and he got to look through it as it went down the assembly line, and was able to visit with the manager of each checkpoint. None of us ordered new RVs, but it wasn’t because we weren’t tempted! Thursday we all planned on leaving about 10…but [View Full Entry]

(Oak Glen CCC) I almost feel like I need to introduce myself again! We are well, and things are still terrific, however, I took a week off and went to North Dakota to visit my grandma, and other family members. (It’s REALLY cold in ND!) Getting back on track after that always takes a few days….doesn’t seem like it used to, but it sure does now! As of Thursday, the guys had finished their bathrooms, and are going to concentrate on the group bathrooms in one of the lodges. We are finished at noon Tuesday, so they’re not sure what all [View Full Entry]
