Need a Bit of a Grin?

Driving in traffic today,  and have a little looky at the eye candy the Lord allowed me  in the middle of  a city that boasts over a million people… I mean, come on, what are the odds? Only God. And yes, I thoroughly enjoyed him  for a few brief moments… I bet he is  one…

From Uganda….

What a joy to be back serving beside our favorite missionary. The team is amazing…only God could have orchestrated and brought together exactly the group of ladies that were needed for this particular time in history!

Near Our Home
