Well now, Stop #17 is done. Fargo, North Dakota took me by surprise in that I now know how much I’ve been blessed to live in the State of Virginia. I mean the Blue Ridge Mountains and Virginia Beach as bookends. Now I’m sure GOD blessed North Dakota with beauty that even I may be able to see, it’s just that I have not seen it yet. In fact I didn’t even have one picture that I took so on the way out on Saturday evening I stopped to take two pictures. These should be put in the tourist information brochures.

Visitor Center, I'm the only one there and it's not much bigger than my truck!

  Okay the real highlight the week was when I parked outside the Wal-Mart and watched dozens of people stop to look at The JESUS Truck and take pictures. It was so cool that I went there most every evening. Coming in at a close second was the first two days that I spent at the shopping Mall delivering invitations by personal delivery to peoples shopping bags. (Invitations to accept the gift of GOD!) Along the way I would strategically place a few invitations throughout the stores and some in places like inside appliances, jacket pockets and even in manikins hands. On the second day I received a call from brother Kris in Louisville, Kentucky. He asked, “where are you right know?” I said, “I’m at the mall” then he told me that he had just gotten a phone call from the authorities at the mall getting on him about leaving the invitations around the mall. After Kris was able to convince them that it wasn‘t him they put 2 & 2 together and figured that it must be the person driving the yellow truck with the Cross in it.

  So when I returned to my truck I was greeted by the mall security and two police cars! Talk about a stress test! After I was told not to do that anymore, that I had to leave the property for the day and after the nice police officer checked with the police in Richmond, Virginia they let me go. Oh they had to be sure that the M class on my drivers license allowed me to drive the truck as well as a motorcycle and if not that they would have to confiscate me and the truck. Well the Bible says to be anxious for nothing and that patience is a virtue, both of which were hard that day. So finally they said I could and so I did.

  Just to let you know, I did not go back to that mall anymore. Why? Well although they told me that I could come back as long as I didn’t leave anymore invitations around, I know that they will still be finding invitations during the Christmas shopping season and I think it would be a stretch for me to believe they would believe that I didn’t do it after I was told not to. This I call wisdom.

These are about 300 yards behind the truck and I bet they can hold alot of Cool- Aid!

  So back to the boring stuff. By Wednesday I was ready to leave town. Fargo is the biggest town in the state. There are no hills, trees and a lot of dust. If the rest of the state is much like this than I wanna go home. I mean Heaven or Virginia! Well I can’t do what I want to do as GOD called me to go to the 50 States with One True Story JESUS! I even tried to reason that I made up the part about 4 towns in each State, when that didn’t work I asked how about 4 weeks in the Dakotas combined? GOD didn’t buy that one either. So I’m in Grand Forks, North Dakota my second of 8 stops in the Dakotas. At least someone planted a few trees around town here, Praise GOD!!!

  This week has begun and I’m hoping for more than last. I am confident that this one will be unique as has proved to be the case with all the past. I do know that the Lord is with me and in that I find rest for my soul.

  In closing this short and dusty story; hundreds of people this week in Fargo have had the gospel of Jesus Christ brought before and or to them by invitation. Please pray that the seeds planted this week will help bring many to Christ.

  Please know that I miss many from home and those that I have met along the way. I am in much gratitude for the kindness you’ve expressed in words and deeds but most of all I’m grateful for your continued prayers.

  GOD willing I will update you again about this time next week.
