LIONS, TIGERS AND BEARS, OH MY!

  Remember that scene from the Wizard of Oz? They were freaking out as they walked down the road, allowing thier fear to take over thier emotions.  With the nut bags running and ruining our country, we too can be susceptible to fear. But take heart my friends, God is not freaking out about it.  In fact, He promises that all things are in His plans and ultimately Righteousness and Justice will prevail in a lost and dying world. I'm sure His heart is grieved at the way the unbelieving majority of people are acting. Lawlessness is what is going on and it is indeed 🤪 crazy. 

   On a joyous note, our daughter Kristin was baptized on Palm Sunday. A step of faith spontaneously moved her while at church. Since then her whole family is turning towards God, a answer to our prayers. We can't wait to get to Illinois and spend some time with together. 

   Paula and I drive to Melodys Orphanage once or twice a week and today was the day. We stopped at Way of the Cross ministry in Harlingen TX on the way and much to our delight a couple of guys from Illinois were there. Woody and Mike were loading up a van with food, to take to Mexico and preach the Gospel. We left and headed to Melodys for lunch and a quick visit. It's always a joy to hug and kiss everyone there. 

   As some may know, Melodys is looking for a permanent place to live. A few places have been offered, but at a cost way to expensive. Paula and I have offered the community center and the house we have there, if God doesn't provide some place else. We could build on and make it work for them, so stay tuned!!!

   Thanks for the prayers and support 🙏 that keep us busy. Another load of beans has been donated to us, this time from Michigan. We haven't got a trucking quote yet, but I'm sure it's over$4000.00. God always provides so we're not walking around freaking out,  but we are those who trust in God's goodness and provision. 

   We've been taking lots of beans and rice to Mexico lately and next Saturday we have another outreach to give out food as well as gifts for the kids for the Day of the Child, Mothers Day gifts for the women and Father's Day gifts for the men. We'll celebrate everyone that day.
