It was a blessing to have burgers with my fellow blogger Gary Fultz of garyfultz.com yesterday. Gary lives in that area of the USA that in the winter becomes a frozen tundra. He was on his way to another place in Nebraska for an outdoor adventure with a friend and he stopped by my city to have lunch with me. I waited outside the restaurant for him and when I saw a pick up truck pull in the parking lot, I knew it had to be him.
Our conversation was a mix of getting to know each other, sharing our mutual faith in Jesus, talking about blogging, and some laughter. The blessing of meeting a fellow Christian blogger is that it means meeting a brother for the first time. Gary has some poignant stories from his life that he shared with me, so check out his blogs to read them.
One of those stories involves his daughter and how a medical person and his family came to Gary’s church and ended up becoming Christians. That is a story I will leave for Gary to tell in his blog.
Gary had fun regaling our server with stories about winter and ice fishing in the northern lands of Minnesota. Our server kept coming back to hear more. I may have told him a few jokes. At one point I said, “you must have a grandmother praying for you.” to which he replied in heaven. I told him, “God has a purpose for you.”
Thank you for lunch Gary. It was fun and great to share fellowship with you.
Now that I have a much better car, I might make road trips in the future to visit bloggers.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
Nice! Glad you enjoyed time with Gary.
Thank you little sister. ๐
How was your weekend?
Momโs in the hospital but in between visits I was able to get rest. She had a bad reaction to the methotrexate.
Sorry to hear that. Prayed for your mom
Thank you
I can only image the wonderful conversation you two had! I hope to meet some of my blogger buddies in person, too.
We had a fun and edifying time thanks.
Glad you two had a great time together, Big Bro! ๐ Great pic of you both.๐๐ค
Thank you Renee. We did have a great time together. How was your weekend?
What a delight to get to meet Gary in person and enjoy lunch together. May he the first of many bloggers you get to meet in person!

Thank you Kristi. Blessings ๐
It really was a great time over some good burgers Matt. I wonder how well a blogger convention would go over?
Something to think about.
Im still in Nebraska with extremely spotty internet.
I think I understand your comment, Gary, but with the spotty internet it came out, โ?$&;: burgers ($;(&@ Matt :(:/($@! blogger convention. Iโm in brother!
Ha, must be a Nebraska thing
or a David’s computer thing haha
I have thought about a blogging convention. Google Mahoney State Park Nebraska and you can see photos of a location I thought of for one
I have thought about a blogger convention in Mahoney State Park. It would be a good location for one.
What a wonderful time you got to share with Gary ๐
It was a wonderful time. Maybe one day I will meet Manu too ๐
Youโll need an airplane or a boat.
๐๐
Like David said, we are indeed quite a distance away, all we need is a plane or a boat ๐
To both of you~this made my morning! I would totally not intrude,โฆbut perhaps wish I could at least pull up a chair! God bless you both!
You can pull up a chair anytime little sister
Sip sip hooray! โ๏ธ
Love it!! Whereโd Gary end up traveling to in Nebraska?
So nice that you got to visit with a fellow blogger and brother in Christ! It is wonderful when we get to meet up over food and pleasant conversation. Maybe one day I’ll get to meet up with you, dad, if you travel across Canada. I’ll need a coffee maker, or you’ll have to put up with peppermint tea. ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐ Love you dad. ๐โค Have a wonderful week!
This is lovely
Hopefully you will make it to Las Vegas, sometime.
That was nice. It must have been wonderful to meet another blogger. It seems as if you both have a lot in common. May the Lord bless you both.
We had a fun lunch. How are you little sister?
As little under the weather but I thank God for strength and life
It is wonderful that the two of you got to meet! Kindred spirits find much to talk about!
Thank you
We had fun ๐
Matt, thanks for sharing your blessed rendezvous with Gary. The Lord continues to bring people into our lives, one by one. May your week share more of His gifts.
It was a wonderful lunch. I hope to visit the far west of Nebraska some day to visit you and your family but I need to figure out the stage coach route ๐

It was a wonderful lunch with Gary thank you Richard
