Egypt Update #5

Just a quick update - I was able to talk with Jim earlier today. He said "Things are going well. Please tell everyone to keep doing what they're doing."

So, keep praying! God is good and I can't wait to share with you all once he gets home all that He has done!

Love you!

Post Script to Holy vs. Hypocritical

I thought I should define why I am lonely because for those that know me, I am very blessed.

I compare many women I meet to her and they come up short. I’ve heard the saying, “Time heals all wounds” and have foolishly said it once or twice myself. However, I am not sure that it will ever heal...I can only pray that o...
