Reflections

My time at MOP is coming to a close (1 1/2 more days for Hannah and I, 3 more days for Scott and Alex).  At times it feels like we have been here forever and at other times it feels like we arrived only yesterday.  Our brains, emotions, hearts, souls, and more have been challenged and pushed to limits we weren't actually prepared for.  I'll have to come back and share with you some of the things we have been discussing.  Going to need some time to process.

Did you know that 1.9 billion - not thousand, not even million, but BILLION people have no access to the bible?  How can we say we love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our mind and sleep at night knowing we aren't doing everything we possibly can to reach the world?  How can we frolic through life without a burden that is overwhelming?  I just can't get that to add up in my mind tonight.

So much more needs to be shared, but first I need time to meditate on it (and by the way, this morning's spiritual life session was on meditation).  After Honduras I'll share a little more.

The kids continue to have a fabulous time here and already beginning to realize that good-byes are just around the corner.  Pray for them as the goodbyes they will say in the next couple days are just the beginning of a life style of good-byes.

It's been good to be here and we are now even more ready to be in Spain.  Pray that our financial partnership comes in quickly.  Why not even pray about how you might join with us financially?  And yes, continue to pray for the sale of our house - because yes, we still own a house.
