Before i forget....

I just wanted to say a big thank you for your generosity in supporting us. Weither it be through kind words, financial support or packages sent to us, THANK YOU. We know these times are tough for all of us.

I just wanted you all to know we are continually amazed by God's provision (through you) for us. Although at times things look bleak and news from home sounds bad, God comes through. Please do not stop believing this for us or yourselves.

As far as packages---we love them--- if we have not thanked you for one it isn't because we are ungrateful but it is probably because we haven't received it! (Drop us a note if you sent something out.)

Ok folks, off to the village to give a exam on Genesis, part one. This group is eager and applying the stuff to their lives. It is exciting and humbling to be here and do this work. Thanks for your part in making it happen...and continue to happen.

Later,
Kevin

Anniversary.

Usually a happy time of cake and games, presents and fun. Today i remember Tabitha. It has been five years now and life has continued to test, challenge, entertain and grow us. Thankfully during the same time God has been faithful and guided, goaded, comforted and loved us.

It was with great joy i held her and moments later with great sadness watched her go. But I now find myself content, strangely, no longer bitter at her maker or angry for only giving her a incredibly short life. As time goes by i think it is easier to rest in the knowledge that those in Christ who pass before us are indeed in a better place. The pain is still there but the need for understanding or reasons fades. because truthfully, the reasons are always elusive and some of the biggest questions are not answered here.

She is buried in Ohio but still lives on with us.

Happy Birthday little one. Until one day....
Dad
