Lee Craft, aka the Monday Morning Racer.

Matthew 5:45 CSB — “...For he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

We've had to cut the Great Western Trip short.

Meaghan Craft and I woke up this morning in Albuquerque with the intention of catching an 8:30AM service. Travel south to White Sands National Park. Then stay over in El Paso.

Those plans were interrupted when we turned the corner from our AirBnB and I noticed the truck door was open. A thief busted the window on the rear passenger side door and proceeded to loot.

Their haul? Well, in short, it wouldn't be an understatement to say everything. If it pertained to my equipment involved with Monday Morning Racer, save a few insignificant items, all gone. Nearly $20,000 gone in streaming gear, cameras, laptops, and more. I'm completely wiped out!

Police did process the scene. The lady officer even helped with offering plastic and tape for the window. Insurance called. All the actions you're to perform done.

Meaghan and I went on about our day. Caught the 11AM service at Del Norte Baptist Church. Began driving home to Tennessee. Have stopped at the Big Texan for Meaghan's first time because we're still on a trip and we're going to do the things.

Yes, I'm mad, frustrated, disappointed, questioning - all the emotions. I'm also thankful that it wasn't more and ultimately we're both safe and sound.

What stings the most, is that Meaghan and I had worked hard to get a lot of debt down. Seems that work eroded in moments. It also stings that my hard drives are gone. Years worth no longer in my possession content wise.

We prayed for the perpetrator and or perpetrators. I hope ultimately God uses this all to his glory and that those who did such a thing repent and place faith in Jesus Christ.

Rebuild time.

By the way, we were in decent neighborhood and I thought I had hid things well enough. I'm aware of Albuquerque's reputation. Nonetheless, it's all gone.

There are more important matters in life, though. The Lord is faithful

We realize this is a lofty goal. Every bit helps, and we greatly appreciate the support provided both financially and spiritually.
