PNW Peeps

Dang! I was just wondering about you guys this morning. Hope all is well. You guys will be missed
I'm pretty bummed, but things just keep stacking up faster then I can knock them back. I blew an air spring on our truck during a trip a couple weekends ago, right at the trail head. Pushed forward to the camp site then, had to drive back home with no rear suspension and disintegrated bump stops like 200+ miles. Rushed to get it fixed for a trip this last weekend, noticed it pulling left, the front LCA bushings are shot. Plus I think the rear struts are blown from over compression because no bump stops. We ended up not going and I tweak my back somehow on Shabbat, and I have been useless since...I literally sat down and when I got up I could barely move.

Do you get the feeling that the enemy doesn’t want you there?

Actually this ones on me, I saw the bump stops when I did the rear brakes after coming back from the last PNW meet (driver side had galled up on the way home). Was looking into what I wanted to replace them with, life happened and then I forgot about it. Fast forward and going through a rock valley 3 weekends ago and it came back to bite me. I didn't realize the airsprings are not fastened in, but only sit on the perches...the bump stops actually keep the axle form over articulating and over extending the airsprings, which is exactly what happened. Too much articulation on the axle, allowed too much droop on the opposite side, airspring un-perched and when the axle straightened out it didn't realign, twisted and got pinched (boom). I actually got it on video, thought we blew a tire.

Funny thing is we actually did another trail the weekend before the incident that had me articulating pretty good, but all wheels stayed on the ground for that one, we tetered a couple times on this last one, but that could also have just been because no rear suspension... As for all the other stuff though, I certainly feel as though I am kept inundated by the advesary, and some of those other things did keep me from getting to finalizing the truck sooner. The Most High is faithul though and keeps me provisioned, all things are done on his timeline. Hopefully the next meet will be soon, I should hopefully have this sorted within the month. I was very much looking forward to meeting Pauls congregation, if you guys do a live stream or video call maybe I can join in. Just let me know.

I’ll miss visiting with your sweet wife! Hopefully everything smooths out for you guys.
Thank you for the kind words, I will relay them. YAH willing we will be at the next one.
 
Also, if you’re looking to fellowship with a congregation that accepts biblical polygyny, The one I attend is in Bandon Oregon. I will also link their YouTube channel below.

Does Messiah the King merely tolerate polygyny, or actively promote it? If they promote it, are they involved in any way in helping to plant other churches? I am not TO, but I might be willing to join such a church that does either if it were here in the Central Texas area. I know of a Messianic congregation near where I live, where I attended a Sukkoth, and there is a TO church here in Georgetown as well. Unfortunately, the Messianic congregation has a female rabbi, and the TO congregation is anti-polygyny.
