God's Hand in Ruth's Work...

While we were busy planning and making preparation in anticipation of our train travel to Texas to visit family we encountered an opportunity to live in faith when Ruth received a layoff notice from her job of 7 years at Korvan/Oxbo. After the initial shock and some spontaneous decisions which Ruth is so good at (Not!), with even a job interview thrown in, Ruth said goodbye to co-workers who surprised her with a farewell potluck luncheon on March 22nd, complete with balloons, flowers, etc. which Jack also got to share. What a way to go! We already had reservations for our trip so we packed in 3 days and made it on the train on the 25th. God gave us a respite time as we traveled 1st class with meals included going from Everett to Chicago where we had an overnight stay, then on to Austin, TX.
