What a shock...

...to be in the hot, sandy Sahara Desert one day and the next, a blizzard in Colorado!  We had no boots for the boys, so we tied plastic bags around their feet, put socks on their hands and let them out into the 2 feet of snow that had fallen our first night there. 
We spent two months in Colorado, spending time with my (Maureen's) family and praying about where God wanted us to go next. 

Oklahoma City is Where We Ended Up

We Bought a House in Edmond

Family Scripture for 2009

Psalm 121
I lift my eyes up to the hills- where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 
He will not let your foot slip- he who watches over you will not
slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber
nor sleep.  The Lord watches over you- the Lord is your shade at 
your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon
by night.  The Lord will keep you from all harm- he will watch over 
your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both
now and forevermore.

Thought of the Day

And why are we in Oklahoma again?

Latest Lesson

Sometimes life doesn't make a whole 
lot of sense. Like the blind man whose
vision was restored the first time but 
things were still a little fuzzy... What 
is needed in this moment (or day or 
week or season)? Trust. Trust in the 
One who WILL touch again - who 
WILL make it clear eventually. Trust.  
Even if it is a "fuzzy" trust.

So For Now...

We're here in Edmond, Oklahoma.  Very much still impassioned for the nations, very much still wanting to impact the world.  Brian just returned from Mexico, Spain and Morocco - great trip for him, reconnecting with old co-workers and friends. And he loved being back in North Africa. I was jealous!
