The government backed off in that they are not going to cut off electricity & water for those who cannot pay. They did extend the quarantine & the curfew so we are looking at another rough week. The virus cases continue to grow but the death toll remains…

Bones

The government is acting like the democrats & republicans in the USA. The President had a meeting & locked out all of his opposing congress members. He wants to cut off all utilities for those who cannot pay their bills. This will cause unbelievable harm to thousands of…

The First Church

Who would have ever thought that we would live in the time of a pandemic? I am losing sight of what day it is. Being quarantined is certainly stressing & worrying about all of the children and staff at Casa is exhausting. Making radio shows is my solace.…

Wear your mask

The children are so bored & without any visitors it makes it worse. They love having their sponsors during these months. All of us that are 60 years old must stay quarantined. As you can imagine in a poor country like Guatemala people are already without food or…

Birthday girl

Dottie celebrated her birthday by ordering fried chicken. Georgie & the kids had ice cream & cake for her.  Each year we have celebrated her birthday by taking three days off & she just rests. Not this year! I continue to make radio shows. Bob said we received 9…

When you read this Monday morning I will now be married to a 77 year old beauty. For 3 months Dottie is older than I am. This is her first birthday we have not been able to get away for 3 days in our 57 years of marriage.…

Games

I want to thank the Lord Jesus for His protection over Casa, staff & children. Our state is one of four that is enforcing a stay at home & also prohibits driving from your state to another. The president announced that anyone breaking curfew or not wearing a…

studying by TV

 The children are receiving schoolwork on line as well as some elementary students receiving homework we download. The problem is they are so bored they do a weeks work in one day. There was another death via the virus but that is only the 11thdeath so we are…

I am so blessed with how the majority of the older children have responded in helping us since the government still has a stay at home order. We are putting stress on the small group of employees. There are so many staff members who cannot come to work.The…

Pitching In

We talked with all of the children & they are willing to help in all the areas where our paid workers have not been able to be here at work. Baby dorm, clinic, kitchen, etc. are areas they are helping. Guatemala has less than 300 cases & still…

The older children

Georgie’s daughter, Maegan, is a nurse & is on her way this week to NY City where she will be working in a coronavirus ward in Queens. The government is asking everyone who has no food to hang a white sheet in front of their home so they…

Thieves

Every church should be on their knees for the removal of this virus from mankind. It is so very silent here at Casa. The children and staff are so silent & bored. But we have food! PTL!! Our home was broken into while we were in church. We…

Danger

A friend of ours who attended our school years ago & is now a lawyer in Baton Rouge has been diagnosed with the virus. The USA sent a plane full of migrants back home to Guatemala & 44 have the virus. 27 Guatemalan children in USA custody also…

Looking at others

I believe that these months have become times of reflection more many people. I believe that many are looking at their lives as just what they are doing with the years God has given them. I also believe people are looking at the needs of others. If we…

I am blessed

Easter Sunday 12 children received Christ. Five more have come to me for prayer for salvation. It blesses me because it means they talk in their dorms about what I preach. God is so very good.   The government is not saying who has the virus because people are…

Who would have thought

Man thinks he has power. We fear other nations & they fear us. But God has demonstrated that He is in control. He has allowed Satan to attack the world. It is in the midst of this virus which falls on the just and the unjust. I believe…
