“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)
Regular schedule on our campus this morning and evening. Friendship family, please be faithful.
I am doing something today that I have not done since January. I am going to board a plane and take a flight to Houston and then one to Guatemala City. There are a boatload of things that need to be handled for GRACE Ministries as well as Colegio JET. Deidra has been making decisions but is ready for me to assume the leadership position on several issues. She has me lined up to meet, meet and then meet some more.
Flying has obviously changed drastically since March. I had two tests on Monday for the virus. Both came back negative. Let me say what a huge help Todd Stork was through this entire process. I could not have asked for a person to do more than Todd has done to get me tested and to get the results back in a timely manner. Thank you Todd! Todd has always been about as nice of a guy as you could possibly meet. I am most grateful to Todd and to the nurse, Tammy, who “rammed” that Q-tip up my nose – LOL! Actually, she did an excellent job and was very gentle.
I also want to say a huge “thank you” to Mike Borja who drove over from Long Beach, MS this past Saturday to help with the loading of the container. Mike is a great friend and I literally first met him while he was leading the loading of a container bound for Guatemala.
Nic Gray from Bay Minette also drove over to help with the loading of the container. Nic has no expertise in this area but heard there was going to be a free breakfast so he decided to come. Nic is a great guy! The best thing about Nic is his sweet wife, Annie. Thank you Nic!
The weather forecasters are now calling for daytime highs in the seventies and nighttime lows in the forties and fifties for the Gulf Coast. The forecasted low for Friday night is forty two degrees. Hallelujah!
I plan to blog while in Guatemala. I hope to catch us up on some of the happenings there. By the way, Deidra has posted some good blog entries recently on shininglightabroad.com. You would do well to read them.
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
