Let's start with a tech note. I got a new laptop about 3 weeks ago. It is an Apple MacBook Pro 15" with 500 GB SOLID STATE memory. Talk about blazing. It take 10 seconds from being Powered Off to being Turned ON and up and running. Everything loads SOOOOOO quickly. It's amazing to work with. PLUS, it has the retina display on it. I have NEVER seen a screen that is so sharp. Everything seems to just POP off of the screen. I highly recommend solid state memory in your next computer. If you don't like Apple you won't be able to get Retina Display. If that's the case then get a PC notebook with a video card that is 4k UHD (Ultra High Definition).
I think I've shared on this blog that I am a LITTLE BIT of a TV-aholic. So, when the 1 to 8 splitter (1 HDMI input, 1 HDMI output and 7 CAT6 outputs) that was fed by our Winegard DirecTV Trav'ler antenna went bad it was "Katie bar the door time." I got hold of David Bott (an A/V genius) that is also an RVer to get a handle on what to do. It necessitated my ordering a replacement splitter from Tiffin. I also replaced both of the HDMI cables that went from the sources (the DirecTV antenna and the BlueRay DVD player) to the 2 splitters. Now I'm happy again.
While we have been here in Tucson, AZ, I also have taken the opportunity to wash the Trekker. We used the formulation given to us at Tiffin for our washing solution - 4 ounces of Baby Shampoo; 4 ounces of Vinegar in 5 gallons of water. The rig just shines. It's such a beautiful home to live in and to drive down the road. E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E we see (even other Tiffin Owners) comments on how "lovely" and "unique" our rig looks. "They all look so much the same, but yours is beautiful." I think anyone that gets a customized paint job (like us and the Botts got) gets more compliments about our rigs and the way they look. Today, I took about an 1 1/2 hours and cleaned the aluminum wheel rims and shined the tires. POP! POP! POP! Looking sharper than sharp.
On to our Port Lavaca church of Christ sojourn. We had a great team of 11 sojourners. The dates were from March 16th to 26th. On the 21st they had a Ladies Day at which Irene was the primary speaker. The theme she developed was "Christ in You, the Hope of Glory (Colossians 1:27)." They also wanted to have a Gospel Meeting from the 22nd - 25th. I taught Sunday morning class and preached both sermons on Sunday. David Johnson preached the Mon, Tues, and Wed night sermons. They were all based on the names of well known Hymns. Mine were titled: Holy, Holy, Holy; Why Did My Savior Come to Earth and Nothing but the Blood. David's were Jesus Loves Me; Old Rugged Cross and He Lives.
The Ladies Day attendance was knocked down some because of torrential rains they had in Port Lavaca that morning. Those that did make it had glowing, rave reviews of the material that Irene had presented. The gospel meeting was VERY well attended. The church there is growing and doing an excellent job of presenting a positive image of Christ to the community.
We leave Friday or Saturday for Kayenta, AZ. This is a second time we will have been there. We worked with the church for 2 weeks in 2013. It is on the Navajo Indian Reservation. We will be with Greg and Cathy Ryznar there. They are 2 of the sojourners we are closest to. They are very loving, focused, humble and willing to serve. It's always great to be "in the building" with them.
