LIKE A BRIDE, WAITING FOR HER GROOM, EVEN SO COME LORD JESUS

    In the last two weeks, we have had 10 people get married, of which the last two, David and Luzma renewed their vows on their 25th anniversary. Every one of the weddings reminded me of believers waiting for the groom to come to the Wedding of all Weddings, when Jesus Christ Himself calls us to the Wedding Supper He is preparing. The brides were all dressed in white, nails done, hair, beautiful wedding gowns were adorn, makeup, perfume, man these women were ready!!!! They spent countless hours getting ready, all for that special moment when they turned the corner to walk down the isle and meet the groom. They prepared, and thought about nothing else until that day arrived. They were consumed in thought and deed with the realization that soon they would be getting married. Isn't that what Jesus has called us to do? Every day I think about the coming of the Lord. Every Day! Does that make me weird? Does that make me an end time fanatic? Does that make so heavenly minded that I'm no earthly good? I think the answer is a resounding NOOOO! I'm just getting ready, I'm looking forward to an event that will last for eternity. How about you???
    As we get ready to head to Mexico today, I'm excited that by days end, WE WILL HAVE ELECTRICITY AT OUR PLACE IN MEXICO!!!!! All the parts and cables and connectors are sitting in our Community Center and the crew will come today and install it. 8 years of running generators at all of our events, weddings, outreaches. Well no more, Lord willing!! When all is said and done, the whole thing costed us about $3000.00. That is to buy transformer, cables, boxes, connections and wire our house, Carmelo and Ruths house and the Community Center. We had a donation of $2500.00 that we thought would be enough, and as most projects, cost overruns sent the costs higher. We received a $500 donation a few days ago which is a generous donors monthly gift. It is an automatic draft from a bank, and the next day, we got another from the same donor, so I called to make them aware of the apparent double donation and said I would return the second five hundred dollar donation. They quickly responded and said rejoice in Gods provision. So we needed the extra $500 for the cost overrun.
    There is a group coming in a few weeks from Vail, North Carolina. Hulls Grove Baptist Church. They will be building a home in the colonia for a family in dire need of one. Ernie, if you read this I have to tell you we have to switch from the original family to Donaciano and Aquillina. A Senior citizen couple that got married a couple weeks ago. He is on crutches with half a foot missing and a very nasty, leaky house. We had hoped to have it built by now, but it hasn't happened.
     A pretty cool morning event in the sky this morning, a crescent moon smiling over a morning planet. I even got Paula out of bed to come and see. ENJOY YOUR DAY, AND KEEP LOOKING UP. THANKS FOR THE PRAYERS AND DONATIONS THAT KEEP US GOING TOWARDS THE FINISH LINE.
