10.30.2022 Remember Saintalien? He's the young man we met on his bed in the Dominican Republic who had been badly injured in a motorcycle accident. He couldn't afford an operation to deal with the bone sticking out of his hip area. Thanks to the Lord and a generous donor, he was able to go to the hospital last week to begin the process for surgery. He returns again this week and then the surgery will be scheduled.

October 2, 2022 Does headline news send you reeling? It does me. Sometimes I just want to shut down my emotions and not care. Wars, floods, hurricanes, famines, politics, sickness, on and on and on - and all at the same time. How easy it would be to stop caring - to just worry about myself, my husband, my children, and my grandchildren. It's all too much.
