“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

This entry is being written shortly after 2:00AM on Tuesday morning in London which means it is shortly after 8:00PM on Monday night in Alabama.  We are leaving the hotel at 4:30AM heading to the airport in order to catch a flight to Spain.  More about that a bit later.

Rita Broome had surgery Monday morning and did well.  She is one tough cookie!  Pray that her recovery goes well and that she does not over do it!  Translated – no McKemie Place for her tonight!

Let me ask for a personal prayer request.  My dad met with his oncologist yesterday morning and the news was not real good.  Dad has cancer, and lots of it, in both of his lungs.  He received a chemo treatment yesterday but is going to get one that is “as bad as it gets” today (Tuesday).  Would you pray that his body can tolerate it?  Thank you.

Today was a good Monday for us.  We basically did nothing in the morning and then made our way over to the wedding of Nicolle Matheu and Mikey Carter at 2:00PM.  Nicolle is Guatemalan so everything started late.  It was a beautiful wedding in a beautiful location.  We missed the reception meal as we had to catch the last direct train back to London.  The meal started way. . .late!  LOL!

I am excited about heading to Spain tomorrow and visiting with Pastor Mario, Amuy and their children.  We are scheduled to come back to London on Wednesday night late.

I trust that all is well there.  I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.

Good morning from Cheltenham, England.  These past two days have been a bit of a whirlwind for us.  I had “plans” as far as making connection while on the flight from New York to London as the airline boasted of free WiFi for the duration of the trip.  However, we never had a connection for even one second.  We then literally hit the ground running as we wanted to make a worship service at Hillsong Church in London before boarding a train heading to Cheltenham which is where the wedding takes place later today.

I did get a quick word that Pastor Alex did a nice job in our services yesterday.  I knew that would be the case.  I thank him for his service to the Lord.

I am aware of the volcano eruption in Guatemala.  GRACE Mountain has received a fair share of the ash but outside of that all is well.  The most important thing is that everyone is well on the mountain including the team being led by Bro. Johnny & Miss Judy Tucker.

Deidra has shared that someone in Pastor Max Lara’s family is missing because of the volcano.  I will not speculate but do ask that you pray for that situation.  The village of El Rodeo was one of the places affected by the lava flow.  Pastor Max is very involved in that village and pastors a church located there too.  The bodies of the deceased, which now totals twenty five, have been taken to Alotenango.  GRACE teams have built many houses in that town over the years.  So, pray for all involved.

Not sure what the plans are for blogging from this point forward.  I do pray that you will have a great Monday/week with Jesus.
