Day 6 Lynchburg, VA roundtrip

154 miles

We met Jack and Carolyn at their church for Sunday morning Worship. Beautiful service and church. We enjoyed lunch at TRUSS, a remodeled warehouse that is now a fancy and quiet restaurant. We’ve had a very enjoyable brunch and our conversation was so fun.

We first met Jack and Carolyn on the Trans-Atlantic cruise in 2012 when they were attending a worship service. They gave us the idea and the importance of organizing a worship service while on a cruise ship - which we have done many times since and have enjoyed meeting new friends this way.

We’ve kept in contact over the years. We’ve exchange Christmas cards and emails. Several years ago when we were driving to Colorado Springs, we stopped in Wichita Falls and had lunch with them, then one year, the Hills were on a Panama Canal cruise and we were their “excursion” as we met them at Puerto Quetzal and drove them up to Antigua for lunch and back to the port.

So, it was rewarding to visit with them again, since they have moved to Lynchburg a few years back.

But it gets better than this. Carolyn says, “hey you should join us on our cruise to Barcelona!” I said, “It’s in leaving on October 21?” “And is it NCL Sky?” You Betcha. We gave each other “high-fives” and bellowed out, “I can’t believe this?” It is so cool that we’ll be on the same upcoming trans-Atlantic cruise with friends we haven’t sailed with in over 10 years.

Our conversation around the table was God-honoring, challenging and full of laughs and gratefulness to God since we can not control the circumstances around us and we can only Trust Him.

Glenn and I explored “the old city Cemetery” in Lynchburg, looking for a letterbox, but didn’t find it. We took the long way home, back to the Schroeder’s home where we are staying.Leer más
