New Orleans and Gulf Coast

Please continue to pray for the thousands of people affected by hurricane Katrina. This is a terrible disaster for the people who have lost their homes and loved ones. Pray, not only that the people will be able to re-build their lives, but that some will come to see their need of Christ through this experience. There are so many people that don't know Christ, and time is running out.

The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. -- Luke 10:2

fears, trials, and endurance

This kinda goes along with what Lisa was talking about, about fears we have. But it's focussed differently so I'm posting it here instead of in reply to hers. The fears and concerns I've recently begun experiencing have to do with the people I'm leaving behind.

HA! THIS is the REAL Jungle :-P

The majority of you guys are packing up and shipping out within a matter of weeks! ((teardrop)) Almost immediately after training, so much information, so little time... so little space in our little brains to remember it all! :-s It's like when your mom still dressed you as a little child; making sure all the buttons were aligned, tying your shoelaces, adjusting your hat, buttoning up your coat, patting you on the back and shoving you out the door. (ok, at least some of us can relate...) All the while the thoughts trying to be reconciled in our mind: half about the excitement of the opportunity for a new experience, and half dirt scared of the unknown.

Saga of the Missing Wallet

It all started that Wednesday evening. The plot was laid. Everyone was on cue. She suspected nothing. We climbed into the vehicles and headed for the beach. Good, she wasn't driving. We could relax, but only for a minute...

Back to School...oh the Joy!

Hey ya'll! (Can't you just hear my southern accent coming back?) James said to "count it all joy" so I'm counting...but that doesn't mean that I like it! :0)

greetings and salutations!

Hey everyone! For those of you whom I haven't run into on MSN since the end of training, how's "normal" life treating you? I can't tell you how much I miss all of you, and your wonderful company. I have nothing but the warmest memories of our time together during training, and hold each of you in very regard. You each hold a special place in my heart. It's my hope and prayer that the same can be said from each of our perspectives. When trials come and the world feels cold and lonely, I encourage you to let these memories that the Lord has given us warm you and comfort you. Let them be an ever present reminder to you of your loving Father in heaven, who has not neglected to give you companions who love and cherish you with deepest affections.
