How right will they be?

The purpose of writing today was to catch you up on the last month or so of news, including a couple of photos. Photos are still safely stored in the camera and my time is running short for today. It's almost Sunday, the long day in our week...two sermons and a Bible study in three languages. I never feel prepared enough, so I still prepare at this hour.

But for those of you who faithfully follow this blog, I felt I ought to put a bit of something on, just to let you know we are still forging ahead, thankful for the health and stamina the Lord has given us. Our stamina alone would not be sufficient, I assure you.

It's about 11:15 p.m.; it's raining, but the real rain is supposed to hit us between midnight and 6 a.m. The forecast says we're due to get more rain (50% more) than we did in the bad storm of February 2010. Check the archives for February 2010 and pray we don't. You'll see what I mean if you read those posts.

We'll let you know how right the forecasters were.

Sunday, 9:00 a.m.: Bright and sunny. There's the difference between weather forecasters and prophets of the Lord for you.
