Somewhere north of Wheatland (where highway 18/20 meets the interstate - Orin exit) we stopped for gas. And the tank would take only about three ounces of fuel. I thought that maybe the station's gas pump was broken so I went in and talked to the attendant. She agreed and so I moved to a different pump. It took about one more ounce of fuel.
Life started to get serious. Here we were a long way from anywhere and we needed to fill up. It looked like the Honda had a problem with the gas tank. I made an executive decision to keep moving south and so we stopped at Wheatland (ninety miles south) to try to fill up again. The tank took a whopping three gallons!
Both of us were awake on this leg of the trip. We had even stopped for ice cream that afternoon in order to get out and stretch our legs. We travel well together and like to talk. We also keep meticulous records of our trips. Kind of a quirky little thing that we do.
And there was no mistaking that we had travelled 216 miles on a little less than three gallons of gas (averaging 73.6 mpg). So what happened to us? Did God somehow have a divine appointment that we had to keep on His schedule?
We kept looking for His divine appointment but we never did find out what it was. When I look at these photos of Wyoming from that evening, I remember what we went through and I smile. God does provide. For whatever reason He is there for us. We don't have to know what He has in mind for us.
I wanted some kind of banner for our prayer chain emails, to sort of set them off as something special. So when I saw these photos I decided that this was what we needed. I removed some telephone poles over on the right of the photo and superimposed the crosses on the hillside. The cross should be on our visible horizon no matter where we look, don't you agree?
This had such a powerful impact on me as I developed the banner that I decided to re-work the website using this as a theme.
