...and as we were setting up

This should not look like this.
After our hair thinning trip through New York City, we were setting up at St. Paul's in Westport. We noticed our tire stabilizers did not fit properly. Dave noticed a bit of the spring works was hanging down where it should not be. The connecting shackle thingy just gave out. You can see it dangling down in the picture.

God provided a shop in Bridgeport who specialize in springs, just 13 miles away.  We did have to drive our broken house 13 miles at 15-20mph on city streets to the shop. We had to take that unlikely route because of all the low bridges in the area. Let's just say there were MANY upset drivers who were late for something.


Before we travel we always pray: God be with us as we travel, that our house may not unravel. One of the shackles broke and there were two more nearly broken. Our RV could have lost the rear axle altogether on the New Jersey Turnpike. Instead, we were gently informed on the green grass of a friendly churchyard, with an honest repair shop just down the road. Thank you, God.


It should look like this.
