Long time, no post

It's been almost 2 years since the last time I posted. Lots of exciting changes going on in my life right now. God has been answering prayers that I've been praying for years about and opening doors for me. If I remember to I'll post the exciting changes that are happening in my life later. I'm just not ready to right now. We're currently rehearsing for "The Centurion" at Truth Tabernacle. It's an Easter Presentation that we've done a couple of times before and this year there are a couple of new songs. Regarding some of the things that I've posted before, I still have my die-cast car collection (which continues to grow) and I'm currently driving a 2016 Ford Fusion. The crazy thing about the Fusion is that after driving a 2014 Ford Focus for 2 1/2 years, and having some mechanical problems, I decided to upgrade to the Fusion. I found out afterwards that my brother had just traded his Ford Fusion in for a 2016 model, since his lease was up. This is the first time in our lives that my brother and I have the same year, make and model vehicle. Of course his Fusion is white and mine is bronze fire. Well, like I said, I'll try to remember to post the exciting changes when everything has come to fruition. Right now they are a work in progress. Until then....

Emmaus 1:64 scale

Here's my 1:64 scale collection. This is my largest collection because the 1:64 scale is the easiest to buy at department and toy stores. It's hard to see but there's an armadillo in front of the green car holding up traffic.

Emmaus 1:72 scale

Here's my 1:72 scale collection. Complete with a Disneyland Monorail and Star Tours vehicle. The white and blue restaurant is called Rory Maclaine's. I named it after my friends, David and Stephanie Barnes', son. The building in the foreground that is blocking the road is supposed to be a Pizza Hut.

Blogging from my cell phone.

I just downloaded an app that will let me post blogs from my phone. How cool is that.

End of an Era?

Well, it seems that almost everyone I used to blog with has quit blogging, except for Laura Berrier. Of course I was out of the picture for awhile myself. Hopefully some of my other friends will return to blogging someday. Meanwhile......

New Car

Well, after debating for the last 4-5 months on what to do with the Dodge Caliber when I paid it off, I finally made a decision. The final payment was made on October 15, 2013 and I traded it in on October 26, 2013 for a 2014 Ford Focus. I realize that many people would disagree with trading in a car that was paid off for a car with a payment, however, the Caliber's transmission was going out, there were 5 more motor mounts to replace (I had one replaced), and the trim on the outside was deteriorating. In Europe the Dodge Caliber was voted one of the worst vehicles built in the last 20 years. If only I would have known when I bought the car. NOTE: This post was originally created in 2013. I'm just now publishing it 2 years later.
