Yesterday we had a chance to bless a single mom.

I got a quote from Harlan Global Manuifacturing

By His grace we can call this place blessed.

I have written about this before, how I look and say thank you LORD. I was talking with a couple of staff about different things that need some help or repair. The dinning hall's roof at the Camp is not doing to well. Tim looked at a couple of weeks ago and said, this needs replace as soon as possible. Then Sean ask to be able to move the turkeys to the front where Joey use to live. That needs a new roof too. The gazebo needs a new roof. Hey is there any one out there that would like to donate some money for theses three areas that really need help? Not sure what the cost is on them, but I know as I speak to Mark about them. He said not at this time.
Looking down this page you can see other items that are needed too. The train is up and running, but by looking at the under carriage you can see, she really needs a new one.
Folks all I can do is ask and that is what I am doing. I know pretty much every one out there is having money troubles. I totally understand, but I do know someone out there that has a heart to help is out there too. So like I said all I can do is ask and see what happens next. I am still blessed to be part of this place and today I will do my best to fix something else. That is why I am here and will be here until He calls me out or His return. (Jesus Christ)
So if you would like to help or know someone that has a heart for helping, please e mail and I would love to share more. toms@alcbahamas.org

Another dawn a breaking, yes train is up and running

This was our last get together with Patmos staff and family

Frankin Gardener and Kevin at Goodman Beach

My God is GOOD

By looking at the pictures below. You can see we have some problems. The bottom is rusted out. This train is held together by HIS HANDS. Just look at all that rust!
Okay now yesterday I took the two rear tyres off. (had a flat) I saw how there is really no way I can reuse this this rim. I took it down to a tyre shop, they laugh and said you want to do WHAT? I asked them to replace the tube inside? Ended up with, it will not make it. I talked with a couple guys there. One said try Jeitly. That is the buses they use here on the islands for their bus service. I stopped by a shop I knew of. The guy handed me a rim and said may it work. Now today I will try to make it work. I will need to cut out the middle hole and then weld in the small holes and redrilled them.
I will show you tomorrow what I need to do.
Now if you know any one out there that has a train they would like to give to us. Please e mail me at toms@alcbahamas.org
I would love to see what He has planned out for this poor ting.

Yes we NEED a TRAIN

I am back home.

Today is my last day in town here.

It is a bitter, sweet day. I am looking froward in going back to my home in the Bahamas. But it really was a good trip here in Florida. I saw family and friends and just reconnected.
The first picture is Luz and Leson weding, at Calvary Chapel Ft Laud. on Sunday after noon. Real nice turn out and just seeing how Patmos has done so much in these kids lives. Plus to see God's children coming to be wittiness to a good couple of marriage.
Next is Felecia and Tim, they live in the Bahamas too. Both of them work at the All Saints Camp. Which is right down the road of our place. On Tuesdays they both come over and help us out at the ALC. The place we are front of is called The Upper Room. Robin and her hubby Mark run this art shop. I am sorry that they were closed on Labor Day. Oh well next time.
The next one is looking down LasOles street. This place was dead.
Now you are looking down the place called New River. I remember walking along this area many times before, while living right down the road from here. It still looks great.
The last picture is the Good Year Blip. I saw it one day while driving around, but not this day. It is the Blip that they use for the foot ball and base ball games that are played on TV.
Folks I know there are so many folks I didn't see this time.
PLUS my e mail has not BEEN WORKING SINCE FRIDAY MORNING. I am sorry I have tried and tried. Today I will drive over to Calvary and see if I can see someone there that might be able to help me out.

Busy week-end. Labor Day too.

A beautfull day at the Pompano Beach

Well vactation has been so good.

Like I told you before, this trip is all about family and just getting caught up with them. I found where Bonita works, by His grace. Read the story below. Not knowing even where to look for her. I have not seen her for many years and have not been to Winter Haven the same amount of time. I serve mighty God. He is always listening and wanting to help us. But we try to do our own ting.
I got to her home and she was not home. So I drove around and just checked out things around the area. I left note on her door. I drove back to her house and she just walked in. We stayed up and just talked and watch a couple of shows. She loves the show called Big Brother. Told her all that has been going in my live and she did too. Got up the next morning and went to Denny's for breakfast and I took her to work and we parted. I really hope and pray we will stay in touch. She doesn't have a computer. She has been told by a friend that she will get one soon.
Now I left there and called my cuz, Greg. I could not get a hold of him. House phone was busy and cell, got answering machine. So I started driving towards where he lives. I got on route 4 and started my way. I tried to call and left messages. But when I got near the turn pike. I called again. Started back to Fort lauderdale. I drove back here and didn't have a chance to see him and his family. That is okay. I know there is a lot of things going on in his life and sometimes later on we will see each other.
You can see how the weather was coming back. Boy did it rain????? I am back in Fort lauderdale, Fl. I will be here until Sept 7th. (Tuesday) I fly back to my home in the Bahamas.
Just a note,PLEASE IF YOU HAVE NOT TALKED WITH FAMILY FOR A WHILE. PLEASE TRY UNTIL YOU DO. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW LONG YOU WILL BE LEFT ON THIS EARTH. JUST LOOK AROUND HOW PEOPLE YOU HAVE KNOWN ARE PASSING.

This young lady is my cuz, Bonita Schafer

Really was a over cast day.

Made to Clearwater and now in Winter Haven

Came in on Wednesday and spent the that day together with Deb and her hubby Jon. We went to a real nice place to have lunch and then just sat around and talked and just to reconnection. Then went over to my cuz, apartment Mark. Sat there and enjoyed some good talking. Then went to another place to eat some dinner. Mark is the manager of the Great Western in Dunee, Fl. Deb and Jon had a large room and I got the kid's room. Which was great. Sleep on this huge bed and sleep like a baby. mark had to work that night, so we all went out for breakfast at the motel. The meal was free, because of Mark, but we saw what the bill would have been. For the four of us, was $55.00. I was so happy to know that is was free. That was such a good time to see them and get caught up and then I left for my next place to visit.
Drove to Clearmont, Fl. This where our uncle Bernie lives. This place was beautiful and he looked great too. I am sorry but Mary didn't want me to take her picture. The reason was her hair was not fitted. But uncle Bernie was in good spirit and just came back on differ talks. I asked if I could take his picture, he told me it would cost me $25.00. I told him okay, but after I took the picture he said that is okay. Don't worry about it.
Then neat God story.
I am using a GPS. Dennis let me use it while driving up here. It sure was a easy trip. Okay now I drove into Winter Haven, ask God where now? I saw a parking space and parked right there. Got out of my car. Walked a little while and asked again, where? Look at the picture you can see where I parked and where the shop was. Two stores down and there was a corner. I looked and saw this small shop. Haircut Naturally. I walked in and ask a guy sitting on this sofa. Do you know Bonita? He said she just left. Then I found out Chuck her ex hubby works there too. I walked over to him and I just said WOW. I asked him her address, he told me and I set the GPS and I was there in 10 minutes. I spent the night here and just had time to see all that has been going on in her life. We are going out for breakfast and I am going to try to see her brother Greg next.
I am so glad that I took this time to see them and I will let you know what happens next.

I got over here in Clearwater,

I know this might be long but it is someone that cares for others.

Guess our national leaders didn't expect this, hmm? On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton , Colorado , was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.

They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness. The following is a portion of the transcript:

'Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers.

'The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart.

'In the days that followed the! Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent.

I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy -- it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best.


Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question 'Why?'
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!



' Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our 20 major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts.

'As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA -- I give to you a sincere challenge. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone!

My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!'

Do what the media did not - - let the nation hear this man's speech.. Please send this out to everyone you can. God Bless

I am getting ready to drive tomorrow, morning.

Yesterday I had a great meeting with Lysa and Pastor Jym at Calvary Chapel, Ft. Laud. Fl. They ask asked some questions and then I asked them and we are pretty much on the same page. We will see what our Lord has in His plans.
Later on I had a chance to have some time with a good friend,Rose. We went to my favor place Char Hut, got somewhat caught up a lot of tings that has happen in this last year. After a nice hamburger and onion rings and drink, we went to the movies. The movie What IF???? It really was a good and clean movie. If you want to see God's hand on someone live, CHECK this movie out. It really tugged on my heart and all the tings He has asked me to do, What IF? The real sad part was there was only one more other couple there in this big theater. We went to the Saw Grass. Man I have never been to the movies there. Big place. 14 showing places. Like I said pas this on to your friends about this movie, by looking I really don't think it will last to long in the theater. Go and see it!!!!!
Got back to the place I am staying at. Got to bed and just had a lot of trouble sleeping. I got up at 4am showered and went a 24 hour Laundry. My clothes are all clean again. I only brought a couple of shorts and t shirts. I have bought used clothes at, Good Will and Faith Farms. The picture above is a shirt I got at FF. Only a $1.00.
This morning I went to a Bible study and it was good. Pastor Jym taught on James 4:7, I don't have my Bible right now. I will read about what we talked about later.
Today I get a chance to have lunch with a couple I have know for many years. Missy and John.
Tomorrow I will be driving to Tampa to see my family. I really am looking forward in seeing them.

These are a couple of things I have been doing.

The first picture is a old friends, Charlie, Julie and Louse. I have known these friends for over 14 years. I was part of their Bible study and we use to do a lot of things together. I spent Sunday after noon just sitting around and getting caught up a little. They are doing well and it sure was nice to just talk to them.
The next pictures you see are at a park in Coconut Creek Park. Look at the sign above, It saids no animals aloud in park. You see just in ten mintues sitting there two families with dog walked right by the sign and not even think about what it said.
Then the last of pictures are of the guys I work along side at Adventure Learning Centre. Ed is the one on the left side, Andrew next to him. Ed is the one that set this up to tile the floor in our Media Centre. It sure is going to be nice at the end. We have had carpet in that room since they started this place. The carpet so worn out. So this tile is a blessing and will be easy to take care of it.
Okay I am here in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. I have been staying at Dennis and Donna's home in Deerfeild Beach, Fl. I am sorry but I don't think about pictures when we are just sitting around and talking or even watching TV. I promise I will get one or two before I leave.
Now my plan is to drive up to Tampa on Wednesday morning and spend some time with my cousins. I really am looking forward in seeing them. It has been since my dad's funeral (2002) I have seen them.

hey here are some pictures not sure what one is first.

I Refuse to BE Discourageed

I refuse to be discouraged,
To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted,
And here's the reason why...

I have a God who's mighty,
Who's sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who loves me,
And I am on His team.

He is all-wise and powerful,
Jesus is His name;
Though everything is changeable,
My God remains the same,

My God knows all that's happening;
Beginning to the end,
His presence is my comfort,
He is my dearest friend.

When sickness comes to weaken me,
To bring my head down low,
I call upon my mighty God;
Into His arms I go.

When circumstances threaten
To rob me from my peace;
He draws me close unto His breast,
Where all my strivings cease.

And when my heart melts within me,
And weakness takes control;
He gathers me into His arms,
He soothes my heart and soul.

The great "I AM" is with me,
My life is in His hand,
The "Son of God" is my hope,
It's in His strength I stand.

I refuse to be defeated,
My eyes are on my God
He has promised to be with me,
As through this life I trod.

I'm looking past all my circumstances,
To Heaven's throne above;
My prayers have reached the heart of God,
I'm resting in His love.

I give God thanks in everything,
My eyes are on His face;
The battle's His, the victory's mine;
He'll help me win the race.

I have not seen a sun rise since I left Bahamas.

Priest's Retirement Dinner

A Priest was being honoured at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.



However, he was delayed, so the Priest decided to say his own few words while they waited:



'I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs, and sold his sister's jewelery to buy a gun. I was appalled.



But as the days went on I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.'....



Just as the Priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk:



'I'll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived,' said the politician. 'In fact, I had the honour of being the first person to go to him for confession.'



Moral : Never, Never, Never Be Late....

I just received this form a friend Please take the time asnd read it.

Found it! Isn't this shocking?

WELCOME TO AMERICA.


Sent out first by a former NYPD SWAT team member.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE - IT IS HAPPENING!!!


This is an accurate picture of every Friday afternoon in several
locations throughout NYC where there are mosques with a large
number of Muslims that cannot fit into the mosque - They fill the
surrounding streets, facing east for a couple of hours between
about 2 & 4 p.m. - Besides this one at 42nd St & Madison Ave,
there is another, even larger group, at 94th St & 3rd Ave, etc.,
etc. - Also, I presume, you are aware of the dispute over building
another "high rise" Mosque a few blocks from "ground zero" -
With regard to that one, the "Imam" refuses to disclose where the
$110 million dollars to build it is coming from and there is a lawsuit
filed to force disclosure of that information.

This is in New York City on Madison Avenue, not in
France or the Middle East or Yemen or Kenya.

It sure has been a busy week around here.

I am not sure why but our Cable Bahamas goes out almost every other day here at the Centre. This is our main inter net user. That is why for the last week I have not been able to log in the put up some pictures and stories. You know how much I enjoy doing that.
Okay first tings first, The sign below is just a reminder about our tongue. It sure can praise our Lord BUT in the same breath we curse Him. The tongue talked about in the Book of James in the Bible. I believe this Book is my favor of all of the great Books that have been written, in the Bible. I sometimes don't realize how easy it is to gossip about others, Then how do we response when someone calls us out on the carpet. Just think before you speak next time.
Yes Thursday didn't start out to good. I was drive down the road and looked right into this guys eyes and said I don't think he see me? So right after that I felt this bump in the back end. This name is John Bain, really seems like a nice guy. We went down and did all the paper work at the police station. Boy that was a time to reflex and say help Lord. We were there for over a hour or so. Afterward Mr Bain called his friend that runs a body shop here on the island. He came out and said no problem, just have to find a tail light first. Well that afternoon I called around, no tail light on this island. I will be going over to Ft.Laud this Thursday so I can pick one up.
The next picture is a old friend named Frankin Garderen. I have know him for many years while here. We went for a drive on Saturday and visit some family members. The picture shows this is his sister, Pearl. Every time we have been there to visit she has always come out the stand there and they get caught up a little on all that has been going on in the rest of the family.

This is just one to the signs that you see around this place.

I had a fender bender, Thursday

This is Pearl and Frankin Gardener.

This is a story about a gentlemen that lives at the All Saints Camp, here in Nassau

Well friends, back from another amazing week in the Bahamas. Our team of 23 was stretched in many ways, but most important, there were 3 new converts and 5 baptisms. Heaven is having a party!!!!
I wanted to share with you all something that I took home with me the 2 weeks I was there.
My family of 5 arrived in Nassau on July 29. We had a special date set aside that Friday to take out one of the residents to the beach. Garvin Ward had been waiting for this day for a few months. He has not been to the beach in over a year and he was really looking forward to this day. We were all so excited to have him out and about.
We went to his room that morning and he was ready and waiting in his swim trunks. He kicked his legs around and gave a smile that could outshine the brightest star. Let's go to Goodmans Bay he said. We picked him up and wheeled him out to the car, and off we went. He was laughing and smiling the whole way. Michael Jackson's song Human Nature was on the radio and Garvin kept singing why why all the way down Gladstone road. We were all entertained. I thought he sung it way better than Michael.
We arrived at the beach and put Garvin in his chair. I turned to grab sun block for him and within 15 seconds, Garvin slipped off the chair and fell almost under water. We were all scared including Garvin. We picked him up and wheeled him out to the water in his wheelchair. He could not sit up in his beach chair, but the wheelchair seemed to work for him.
Though this was only a split second, Garvin showed that he was stressed. He was scared that he could have drowned, and he did not look like he was having a good time at that moment.
During this time I sat with Garvin and tried to calm things down for him, and wouldn't you know, God had sent an angel to do just that. A seven year old girl walked up to us and stared at Garvin. She was looking at him and wondering why his body was disfigured the way it was. She then asked.......why is he like that? I started to speak, but Garvin wanted to answer the question. He said .....I have Cerebral Palsy. The little girl was sent from God. She said to Garvin...You were made perfect. God is going to make a miracle in your life. I know it because He just told me so. Garvin smiled and said to the little girl........you just made my day, what is your name? The little girl said, my name is Candy, and I am going to church this week to pray just for you.
This little girl named Candy made a huge impact on our day. Just when Garvin needed a touch from God, He sent Candy, and gave Garvin just what he needed to get through the rest of his day.
I imagine that God sends people like Candy our way each day. Are we listening, or are we missing our blessing?
God is so good!!! Look for your Candy that God is sending each and every day.

Love and blessings,

Colleen Colella

Good day all,

I just watched this neat video. I really hope you will take the time to watch this. It will tug on your heart. It is so true how we make our plains and God has so much more for us to do. I really hope you have a great day and enjoy.




http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=BGODurRfVv4

I am so excedied to see below.

This last summer two guys came over here to video tape our place. While here they video ALC and ALC Camp, plus a shot of All Saints Camp too, The woman holding up her hands to praise Jesus is Miss Moxey. She has been at the ASC now for many years. Every time I go over that way, I have to stop in and see her. She has no way of getting around, except a wheel chair, but every time she is saying praises to God and Jesus Christ. I look at her and ask God when I feel alone or upset about anything, PLEASE let Your Name be praised, just like Miss Moxey.
I so glad to be able to show now to my friends and family all we do here at the ALC. I know my picture was not in there, but there were a lot of people that have worked so hard and their pictures were not in there ether.
I am so blessed to say and be part of this ministry. We have been told that this video will be shown on our TV stations here in the Bahamas. So my prayer is we can get more folks out here to help us and be blessed too.
Starting this fall we will be short many staff members. The reason is we all have been called to service Him and when our time is up. We move on to the next step that He wants. So maybe God has been tugging on your heart to be a missionary???????

ALC PROMO FINAL REVIEW COPY

You have to love this doctor's ways.

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it... Don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.


Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Bottom up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No pain...good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food are fried these day in vegetable oil. In fact, they permeated by it. How could getting more vegetable be bad for you?!?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming good for your figure, explain whale to me..

Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is shape!
Well... I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

AND.....

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans..

5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Remember being 6 years old? No I don't

1stgrade school teacher had twenty-six students
in her class. She presented each child in her
classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and
asked them to come up with the remainder of the
proverb. It's
hard to believe these were actually done by first
graders. Their insight may surprise you.
While reading, keep
in mind that
these are first-graders,
6-year-olds, because
the last one is a classic!

The Brick Please read this and think about how God does love us.

Read this today and don't delete it even if you are too busy!! You'll see..
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street,
going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar.. He was
watching for kids darting out from between parked
cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.
As his car passed, no children appeared.Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!
He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.
The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting,
'What was that all about and who are you? Just what
the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that
brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why
did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic.
'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't
know what else to do,' He pleaded. 'I threw the
brick because no one else would stop....' With tears
dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth
pointed to a spot just around a parked car.. 'It's my
brother, 'he said 'He rolled off the curb and fell
out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.'
Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help
me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and
he's too heavy for me.'
Moved beyond words,the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling
lump in his throat.. He hurriedly lifted the
handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took
out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh
scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything
was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God bless
you,' the grateful child told the stranger. Too
shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy!
push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk
toward their home..
It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very
noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair
the dented side door. He kept the dent there to
remind him of this message: 'Don't go through life
so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to
get your attention!' God whispers in our souls and
speaks to our hearts Sometimes when we don't have
time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's
our choice to listen or
not.
Thought for the
Day:
If God had a
refrigerator, your picture would be on
it. If He had a wallet,
your photo would be in
it.
He sends you flowers
every spring.
He sends you a sunrise
every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about
you!
God didn't promise
days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun
without rain, but He did promise strength for the
day, comfort for the tears, and light for the
way.

If God brings you to
it, He will bring you through
it.

So you think being a missionary is BORING

Just take a look below and see all the neat tings God does in my life each week. Some times not the greatess. But over all I have a ball here. I can work all week long and at the end of the day I crash in bed by 8pm, after, our news here. I thank my God each and every day I am still on this earth. I have told you this before. When I go to bed I lay my head down and I know I can say I have done my best that day. I sleep so well, except when I got to get up and visit that other room a couple of times during the night, (bathroom) I am so blessed to live on this island and to work during the week and say I am taking Saturday off and going for a bike ride. Plus if I do have a rough day I drive down to the beach and look around and say thank you Lord for letting me be here and enjoy this place you have made for us. Like you can see below how some things just are a pain, (flat tyres) But I can get back home and relax and just chill. Yesterday I promised a young lady to help her out. After the ride and feeding the animals I really was not in the mood to do some work. I took shower and drove over to her home and picked her and then picked up another young lady and then I went to Star Bucks for a kick. I got one and boy did that make my day. We spend the day doing some shopping and then picked up her daughter and had pizza. Just turned out to be a great and wonderful day with friend ship and just knowing I have friends like them. God has taking me a long ways and He is still is working me through it all.

Nice bike ride, but had two (2) FLATS.Not that good.

A real rough Friday. Our phone system went out all day long.

Just a quit story.

Like I was talking about Harri below. He has a full time job over seeing a paint store here, called The Paint Place. I would see Harri at church and he told me a while back if I needed his help on any thing, give him a shout. Which I did a while back. So Harri has been a really blessing for me and just to have someone to talk with during the hot part of the day is SOOOOO neat. You know he could just stay home and do some thing around is house or even just chill. But he comes out and works are along side me, Fridays.
Harri's wife Carol is going in couple of weeks to get her wrist work on, so please if you think of her, say a pray or two.

I am sooooo BLESSED to have agood friend named Harri
