If the van could sing, it would be belting out "Lord, I was born a Ramblin' Van..." in this episode! Because Hadrian might love Skynyrd but I grew up in an Allman Brothers household (some of my only good memories of my abusive mother are driving around
This is where things start to get dramatic. In a good way! Ora pro nobis... we're officially on the Road To Rome!!
Beaumont is Janis Joplin country and Josh (the older brother) is a huge Janis fan. We miss him dearly. But he's not safe to have running around with knives, so it's best that he is where he is. Please pray for him to be able to
For more of the Good Old Dinner Party Club Days, see Underground SSSaints which is in the process of posting. It was here that Hadrian just straight up decided to leave, and I dithered between considering trying her (off screen) advice to go through influence channels I might have with
We were still waiting to see what news from our last remaining friend. But cancelling Easter was really the last straw for me. Bureaucratic schedule traditions do NOT supersede the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Your conference can wait a week! Might as well just put up some plastic bunnies and
The notes I wrote that night in prayerful preparation for Easter weekend have turned out to be very fruitful - just like our hotel picnic! For these posts, I am just adding my thoughts and memories on the fly. I wrote sometimes quite lengthy scripture journal notes on this trip, which

This comic doesn't show dinner because we had other things to discuss, but we got Taco Villa and it was good, but not as good in our opinions as Taco Bell or Del Taco. Also we had to pay, which was kind of a shock after days of
The Lord provided for us in our time of trial. Specifically, He provided tacos. We did not and will never complain! Amen. We also had salmon and rice and it was also excellent, because we do love fish, and we never made it to California to get fish tacos, alas.
Our 4Patriots solar generator inexplicably does not charge. Even on AC. Another thousand or so down the drain, but that's just par for the course of this journey into holy poverty and true happiness... I was honestly shocked when telling someone about this night of the journey and
Diablo's Cantina in the Luxor hotel has INCREDIBLE vegetarian tacos!! Because when you visit the wretched hive of scum and villainy, you HAVE to go to the cantina! It's canon. We didn't get to see Carrot Top or the jousting show next door at
They could not rush us out of that chapel fast enough once we said the word 'homeless'. Anyone who wants to talk about how much good the Mormons do for the poor and disabled is getting an earful from me. It's all propaganda. I've
