Liljoentx asked if I could make a pic with all of Zeb's Commands so here it is. More crowded that I would like but I wanted to leave the patches big enough to read.

Uncle Zeb says, "DRIVE!"
Uncle Zeb was an encourager. He helped instill courage in me and others.
I had to relocate to Phoenix, AZ from Jackson, MS mid life all by myself with little money, no contacts, no help. I was nervous about driving by myself from MS to AZ. This was in 1994. No cell phone or GPS, just a map. I told Uncle Zeb my concerns. He barked at me and said in a very firm voice," DRIVE!". I said," I do not know if I can do it". He said," DRIVE!". I drove. That trip turned out to be good for me. I had a flat tire and before I could get out of the car, a trucker with an 18 wheeler was at my window asking if I needed him to fix my flat. He did and followed me to a truck stop and oversaw the repair and guided me back to the Interstate. He would take no money. Inside his cab was a pregnant girl he had picked up. She was about due, had little money and was trying to get to California to family to help her. I said to him, "Since you will not take the money, will you give her money for food?". I think about that trucker now and then. I hope he has many blessings coming his way. Had not Uncle Zeb encouraged me I maybe would not have made it to Arizona where I live today. Thank you, Uncle Zeb, for all you did for me. |

Peggy what a wonderful story, I think the Zeb story collection has already begun here Catherine, i am glad he was able to give you the courage for your shift to AZ, i too made such a move, in fact quite a few of them but one of them was to Fountain Hills, AZ, and that was part of a life changing part of my life too. We never know what our voyages may bring us, but the most important first step is to leave port...and head out to the open sea. Captain Zeb is there ahead of us all, and his example stands as a beacon to guide us all. God Bless you all, family and comrades. and that is a fine collection updaed pic Gryphon, what a fine fleet of commands he had
