Todays was visiting day for parents we permit to come in. This allows the families to spend time with their kinfolk. We need to place God at the center of our family. Families need to encourage and build each other up. I suppose you can say that this…

The weather is bitterly cold. Marlin and Olga are being prepped to take over the teams when Christine and Georgie leave. They both were raised here and have a heart for ministry. Most of the kids are so cold they are just snuggling together. Be proud of who…

We received a new child at midnight. The weather is so very cold. The college boys went to the water park. It is hot there. One-half of the older children went to their homes (if safe) for a week and the other half will go in a few…

Pastor Teddy T from Alabama stopped by on the way to the ministry that his daughter has in Guatemala. He brought crawfish pies and shrimp. A man after my own heart! Josue' and I went to the city to take care of business.

Josue took Michelle and Adela to a private hospital where a group of anesthesiologists examined Michelle so they can perform the eye surgery safely. They are concerned about her seizures. Then Billy took the new baby to another hospital with breathing problems. Praise God they sent him back…

England and Wales are minority Christian nations. The census in 2021 revealed 5.5 million drop in the number of Christians and a 1.2 million increase in Islam. We Christians are not doing a good job of sharing our faith. Twenty-two million said they had no religion. As we…

Al and Brenda's son, Billy, preached for me this morning and then they had a meal for Dottie and me. Life is more than money. One of the boys who left here has started a church. It blesses me to know some leave and make Christ the object…

We received three new children so I feel blessed today. There is a judge who for many years loved Casa and helped us so much. She has been promoted so we have lost a dear friend in the courts.

I took a "me" day and just listened to Christian biographies. I studied Rees Howells, George Whitfield, the Wesley brothers as well as Billy Sunday who once held a crusade for 7 weeks in my home state of Louisiana. As a baseball player who heard singing at a…
