Tomorrow, we will have fireworks and a meal of tamales which is the traditional manner that Guatemalans welcome the new year.

I pray as we enter 2026 that God will bless us with an abundance of children.

Christmas there was a bus overturned and 15 died in the city. Saturday a truck overturned with also a loss of life of 2 men who burned to death two miles from our front gate.

The holidays around the world see far more booze and death than worship of Christ.

I am so happy that in our long life together Dottie and I never grew in separate directions.

We received a wonderful. Three large and beautiful playground sets worth $150,000 to $200,000 has been donated to Casa and has arrived at the port of Guatemala. A team will come to tear down our 3 playgrounds and later there will be another team to install the new playgrounds. What a wonderful blessing for our children. The three areas we now have are just worn down.

Another wonderful name for God is found in Psalm 24:7-10, “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the KING OF GLORY shall come in. Who is this KING OF GLORY? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the KING OF GLORY shall come in. Who is this KING OF GLORY? The Lord of hosts, he is the KING OF GLORY.”

This is the only place in the Bible where the term KING OF GLORY is used. As the KING OF GLORY, God is worthy of our praise. This is why David danced before the Lord. When you know Him as the KING OF GLORY you will want to shout dance and praise.
