Image via Wikipedia God is doing miracles for Charlie. Two weeks ago he came out of a 12 day coma . You prayed last Tuesday that he'd get home ASAP. He arrived home in the UK the next day! Yesterday, he made his 1st post-coma steps. Our Facebook prayer partners prayed for better Sousse Church atten.. .. read more..

Even If....
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
Yesterday started out just like normal, really hot and the air heavy, kinda suffocating. About 2 PM, an intense windstorm passed through. Wait, did I mention it was a SOUTHERN WIND?!?! YAY! Remember, we're below the equator, so the further south you go, the cooler the temps are. And when the wind bl.. .. read more..

Phone and Pizza
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
The last two weeks have been pretty eventful with summer camp one week, and moving to a new house the next. After two years living in a home without a phone line or internet, we have moved to a house within Santiago's city limits. A phone line isn't the only benefit; we are just minutes away from D.. .. read more..

Grumbling
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
I've just been reading through Exodus and it never ceases to amaze me how much the Israelites grumbled. God would do something loving, wonderful, miraculous. A little further in the journey they'd hit a tough spot and they'd go straight to complaining again. I'd judge them if I didn't relate to the.. .. read more..

Rain came---
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
We had about 10 minutes of rain on Sunday morning and then a very definite storm the night of Sunday to Monday. Then, this morning it even "spit" out a few drops. We are so grateful for God's love by sending even a small bit of rain. It has perked up not only trees, grass and flowers, but also the s.. .. read more..
Ezekiel 33:6 Watchmen
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
Do we take heed to the Lord’s word in Ezekiel 33:6? “But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blo.. .. read more..

January Car Fund Update
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
For the past several months we’ve been mentioning our need for funds to purchase a car in our new country of service. Our goal is $25,000. That’s not a magic number or anything, and probably won't allow us to buy a new car (vehicles are much more expensive in West Africa), but it's our goal. If we .. .. read more..

I have somehow found myself in possession of an FBI background check that cannot be authenticated, for various reasons.
