50th Post!

Yeah! 50 posts, I can't believe it. Fun, fun, fun! I just wanted to say what fun I have had posting to this blog. I am quite a talker and when I don't get to talk, this blog is a means to "let it out!" I f I have any regular readers, let me just say thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. I pray that the experiences that I write about speak to you in some small way. To those bloggers whose blogs I read, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. Your insight in each blog, more often than not, speaks to situations I am dealing with at that very moment in time. I love how God is using this 21st century tool to provide enrichment to my life. Soli Deo Gloria! For the Glory of God Alone!

The point is that you have to choose one and stick to it. Join me in my health journey !

I'm not apprehensive for what he will be doing; he is a wonder at what he does. I am apprehensive how I will handle things at home and church without him plus get to work and be sane. But, I have to say I have wonderful parents and in-laws that will take care of me. Having said that, that's not really what this post is about. For the last couple of years Jim's heart has been burdened because our church has not been sending. I have had a similar burden. This week as I was preparing my Sunday School lesson, I came across the following quote by Mendell Taylor, "The Church must send or the Church will end." While I see that we are responding in a small way by sending Jim to Egypt, it simply cannot begin and end with him. The Great Commission was not a suggestion...it was a c...
