Missing Evangelist

The nice truck and nice travel trailer, and with gasoline so high, diesel even worse, etc. leads me to believe he didn't know what to do. If, like someone said, they thought the town where he was going to preach was small, chances are, the church would not be a large one. So after the first night and perhaps a small crowd, and a small offering, he knew he could not make it. He may even have been behind on his payments. This is merely speculation on my part, but this keeps coming to my mind. Someone said his father in law had indicated if something hadn't happened by Sunday, they were taking their daughter and children back with them to Texas. Perhaps he (her father) had even co-signed for them. Perhaps he had even received some phone calls from the bank and knew there were problems.
Why leave his wallet and etc., but take his cell phone. The phone would have been a dead giveaway if he had been receiving calls about the truck and trailer. What does a man do when the only thing he has left might be soon taken away. Where would they live, etc.

My husband has told me I should have been a detective! lol We shall see!

I may be as far off as I can be, but time will tell.
