The boys carrying Dottie up the walk way.

The installation of the three new playgrounds is finished. It will be a blessing to children for years to come. We are grateful for this gift and the teams that tore down the old and the teams who put up the new.

I gave my testimony to the visitors that are here on campus from Woodlands Methodist in Texas.

Yesterday was truly a blessing. Being able to have lunch in a nice restaurant with the group of young people who have grown up to be strong Christians just warmed my heart. It was a five-star restaurant, and they were so kind to Dottie. Two of the waiters carried Dottie up the stairs.

Dottie did well physically and just had a wonderful time. The older children raised here and now doing well in their communities just thrills her and I. They said we had not gone out together for over 2 years.

There are so many children raised here and now gone into marriage and jobs which is such a blessing to Dottie and me.

I love this next name for Jesus March 16us. In Matthew 11:19 it is written “The Son of man came eating and drinking, and the say, Behold a man gluttonous. A winebibber a FRIEND OF PUBLICANS AND SINNERS.” With these words, Jesus condemned the Pharisees, for criticizing Him for associating with people whom they considered the outcasts of society.

But Jesus took their criticism as a completement. He came to the world to save sinners. He said in Mark 2:17 “They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Jesus also was a friend to 12 ordinary men.
