Considering what a dry summer we had this year in South Central Arkansas and all over the state for that matter, we have had some beautiful fall color this November. I think we are at our color peak this week prior to Thanksgiving. I am sharing some of the pictures I have taken. Some are flowers in our yard, trees in our yard and trees in the neighborhood - all of which are a reminder of God's handiwork when he made our planet and His blessings to us each day.
Gil and I look forward to Mama and Judy coming Sunday prior to the holiday next week and possibly Aunt Sue as well. Then on Wednesday we will see Pat, James and Emma come to our house for Thanksgiving this year and stay several days with us.
Gil just returned from his last prison ministry for 2010 from the Benton Work Release Unit. I am also including a picture of him on his motorcycle.

Visit with Dan Niemeir and Family
After the Colors Rally, we headed to Muscatine, Iowa, to visit Dan Niemeir and his family. We had a lovely drive there, about 14 hours on the road over 2 days. The fall colors were pretty and the weather nice for the most part. We did have a scare one night in E. St. Louis as we were awaken at 4 am by the tornado warning siren but God spared the area where we camped.
Our visit with son Dan and his wife Mandy and their children was a very nice one indeed. Dan is progressing nicely as God heals his body after a motorcycle accident in July this year. He will be going into the hospital first part of November to be fitted with leg braces so he can continue physical therapy on his feet and begin walking again. We pray for and expect a full recovery for him in God's timing.
We enjoyed visiting with the grandchildren, Katelynn age 15 and Jacob age 8. Grandson Mitchel visited us there as well. He lives nearby with his father. We were truly blessed by this visit and wish Dan continued success with healing for his entire body, mind and spirit. Praise God!

CMA Colors Rally 2010
The Christian Motorcyclists Association celebrated their 35th anniversary in Oct. 2010 on Iron Mountain, Hatfield, AR. Gil and I camped in our RV spot that we sponsored six years ago and enjoyed the church services and seeing friends that we meet there annually. We also looked at many homes for sale in the area in anticipation of moving to the Mena area once our home sells in Camden.
The Iron Mountain campground was filled to capacity as was the worship center which covers an acre of land inside the building. There were over 3480 bikers at this event. We have outgrown every facility at this point but CMA does not use credit to further the ministry. Donations only support the local Iron Mountain facilities and will be expanded only as God adds to the financial support. The only fundraiser by CMA is the annual Run for the Son project held every May.
It was wonderful to hear once again the testimony of fellow CMAers around the world as they attended the International Rally in conjunction with the Colors Rally. We also enjoyed the sermon my Herb Shreve, CMA founder, who is now 77 years young. He inspires us all as he preaches God's word and encourages us to continue to change the world "one heart at a time." Praise God!
