After almost two years, we have been blessed with good health and safety. Even after visiting jungle and mountain villages, the orphanage where the water we showered in was murky with mud, and eating just about anything set before us, we have been free from any other-world maladies. We were feeling invincible to those things when Kevin came back from a trip in the Pacific jungle area. He wasn't actually in the jungle, but he was in a city surrounded by it. It is a place where contaminated mosquitoes frequently infect people with diseases like dengue, yellow fever or malaria. But little did we know that there were other evil unseen enemies lurking in and on numerous other exposed places!

There was a massive but no doubt beautiful snowfall this week in the state where our families reside. I called my brother and boasted about going swimming while they were holed up with 12 to 14 inches of snow outside their doors. My brother commented about how he loves the different seasons. Frankly, I was just a little jealous since I love the snow and I enjoy the changing seasons with the colors and smells that are distinct with each one. There is excited anticipation in the air as the fluctuation of the temperatures signal the change is coming. It is one of the things I miss the most about our stateside home.

As many of you know our grandson came to live with us recently. He is the middle one of our three wonderfully special, and might I say the most beautiful, grandchildren in the world! It is hard to imagine that the oldest will soon be thirteen! If it were not for the truth of their ages and the pain in my joints, I would not believe myself to be a day over 30! But, alas, the years are stacking up and, though I do not feel it in my heart, I am beginning to feel it in my body! But it is grandchildren, I am convinced, that keep the sparkle in our eyes and a grip on our hearts. | | No comments for this item |

It was early in our relationship when Kevin and I were taking a walk. It happened to be the night before trash pick up in our area. Some of the people had their trash out by the street for the trash collectors. On our way back home we were just around the corner from where we lived. Kevin stopped in front of a house and picked up a lawn chair and handed it to me. “What?” I said feeling embarrassed. He said, “These are good chairs and we can use them.” With the lawn chair in hand and Kevin carrying the matching chaise lounge, we headed home. I walked as fast as I could, fearing someone would see us. | | No comments for this item |

Amazed and humbled….again. We shake our heads in wonder as we watch a local church in this city pull off massive crusades, do radio and television programs, manage an elementary school, send missionaries to the indigenous and do social outreaches. Two weeks ago God filled the same plaza we used in August with approximately 25,000 people. There is a shopping mall on one side where people were gathering on the verandas to listen. On the other side is another store similar to a Super Walmart where more people were gathering at the open areas to listen and watch. There were many healings and about 4000 salvations. | | No comments for this item |
