Shirley

When the electricity went off I climbed the water tower for the first time in years to see if we had water in the tanks. Dottie was not happy but God evidently takes care of fools. However we did lose water Tuesday afternoon. Abraham got it fixed. Some…

80th Birthday

Trees fell on the electrical lines in San Lucas and all of the surrounding villages were without electricity for over 12 hours. I worried and prayed about the water because we run it on a generator when the electricity is off. Oscar did a great job and we…

The older girls

The teenage girls went to Adam's home where they were blessed. We have two couples here for a short period of time. God's original design was for families to be fruitful and multiply. (Genesis 1:28) This is why Satan fights so hard to abort children. Children are a…

HUSH

Dottie and I went shopping. We do not do that very often alone. What can we do for those who are hurting? First we need to bite our tongue. Remember Job's friends? They needed to shut their mouths but didn't. We need to open our eyes and ears.…
