Come ye who need rest

Ashboro Friends Meeting visited this weekend to bring a little Room Makeover Wonder to the Lodge.

The room formerly known as the "cooks" room is now a beautifully appointed guest room, due to their generosity and vision.  Given a jumping off cue working with existing paint job,  God and our "Friends" came into perfect harmony and serenity in this new/old space. 

 

Our room now named "la voile"  mean  "the sail"   

 

Taken from scripture, when Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water's edge. 

 

Luke 8

'Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's go over to the other side of the lake." So they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep.'

 

Jesus was busy, very busy.  He taught and healed and served and performed miracles.  Just after this scripture we read, about the "storm"  where He is called to wake up and "fix" it quick.  

 

In our many years of ministry we have found that Pastors and Missionaries often need to "sail away" and get some rest.  So we invite you to come,  down to the quiet rural Alabama, lay your head on a pillow.  Rest, for you don't know what storm God may allow to come into your path next.  

It is our desire to bless the weary and worn, those traveling through.  We are close to Mobile airport, 40 minutes off of I 65,  Gulfport MS, and Pensacola are all within reasonable driving distances.  While we are not the Hilton, we will do all we can to enable you to recharge and restore for a short while.   

The space has sitting space, private bathroom with shower.  Our lodge kitchen is available for your meals.  Several small town cafe's are available with in a 10 minute drive.  We are 1 hour from Historic Mobile, and 2 1/2 hours from the Beautiful shores of the Gulf.  (yes, they are beautiful here).  There is limited wireless email (you are supposed to be resting after all)  We are working on TV, but still have glitches there.   We have a library with vintage books of all sorts.   

Please contact us by phone or email to check availability.  251.829.6507

La Voile - Sail Away

I hope these pictures tempt you to come and spend some time with us

Back to School Bash

Rain, rain rain. Our Back to School Bash was rained out.  This didn't hamper lots of kids having fun on the giant slip and slide on Saturday.  Around 15 kids, upwards of 20 drifted in and out for 3 hours straight as they finished off our worn piece of  plastic from SOUL.

Mr Tim braved the weather and grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for 50.   The plans to eat outside were switched to indoors and everyone seemed to have a great time.
