Day 73 ( 2650 miles)

Central Arkansas sure is different than eastern Arkansas. There is a lot of big beautiful churches. Saturday night I slept along side a big Church of God in Benton. I was really hungry so I ate at an all you can eat. I got sick. I've had an infection in my mouth for about 5 days. I had a fever and was real tired. When I left Benton I got lost and went around in circles. Sometimes you ride into a community not knowing there is no way out except the way you went in. A man a Baptist church explained how to get back to the main road. Twenty miles down the road a lady yelled at me and said " what does your sign read?" I stopped and we had hamburgs, potato salad and a very nice meal. She was from the Church of Christ, and he was a Seventh day advent. I avoided conflicting with them on the idea of losing your salvation. Some times we really believe the same thing its just how we word it. We all felt God's love and forgiveness, and are grateful for all he is doing in our lives. Last night I spent the night in Hot Springs AR. The National Park Camp ground was 10.00. As I was riding on the way to the camp ground a lady gave me 10.00 out of the window of a moving car to pay for it. Curt and his wife, were both from Hot Springs and encouraged me to visit there. It looks like rain, I left the sign in the tent, its taking a day of rest. Yesterdays sign read " thank you for giving to the lord you will be so glad you gave". Out of the teaching in Matt 25. This ref was on the bottom as well as the cross. I'll probably spend one more night here. Please keep on praying love, Daniel
