Simple Pleasures on the Road

Yesterday I stopped for the night at a truck stop just a little ways out of Tulsa Oklahoma, so I called up my good friend Jim Rogers (who just happens to live in Tulsa) to see if we could get together for a visit.  It was great fun to get to see him and we enjoyed a good breakfast together at I-Hop.  Next time you're at an I-Hop I recommend that you give their "garden stuffed crepes" a try - I think they are really good.

Jim and Virginia gave me a really nice gift of a "Daily Light", a thoughtful gift for anyone, but especially for a busy truck driver.  It was a nice surprise to get to see him.  Next time I'm through here I hope to have enough time to go see their home.  It sounds like a really nice place for them to spend their autumn years.  Of course their final home is being prepared for them in a city set on a hill far above all rule and authority.  The radiance of their King illuminates it and there is no need for the sun there.  It's a place of endless delight that we will enjoy forever.

Well, I've got to get this truck moving, I need to slip over into Minnesota today and be ready for my early morning delivery in Minneapolis.  I spent last night in Iowa, at a truck stop about 60 miles north of Des Moines.
