Egypt Update #7

He's home! Jim and his team arrived safely around 2:00 p.m. today. We've had a wonderful afternoon...Jim hasn't stopped talking about all that he saw, heard and did in Egypt.

As we were driving home, he got choked up when he was talking about going to the mosk and watching a man and two his sons. He said that the father was showing his sons how to pray and the sons were just soaking every word and action up. We have men in our country who will show their boys how to "be a man," how to play ball, how to get good grades in school and some how to treat a lady BUT there are far too few showing their sons how to pray and be a man of God.

This trip has obviously had an impact on Jim and I can't wait to find it all out.

Thank you again for all your prayers for Jim and the team's safety. Please continue to pray for Josh and his family. They have a lot of work to do. So apparently do we.

Never have I felt more secure in a friendship than with her. Then there was a turning point and it all changed. When I look back and try to figure out what went wrong, I go over scenarios in my head and what-ifs but I always come up with the fact that it really doesn’t matter how it came about but that it has happened. I must deal with it. Yet, every Sunday I grieve like one whose family member has died. Certain songs I hear just bring the hurt back to mind and I find myself grieving all the more. 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...

All Things

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 How often do we wonder what God's plans are? How often do we think that He is not paying attention to the "trivialities" in our lives? I confess ... I am confident in the message of Romans 8 but yet I am weak and doubt time and time again. God, help my unbelief. Infuse me with your Spirit; grant me confidence each day.
