It's the little things that just happen in the daily-ness of life that somehow point to the eternal. We pray these examples of recent happenings in our life are truly making an eternal impact!
We ate out at a local restaurant recently and had the manager ask us if we liked to read. His name is Baker and as the conversation continued it became clear, he was not a believer. He loves to read and thought we looked like people who might have books (a.k.a. money to buy books for ourselves or others). A few days later he came by the house and we were able to share with Baker his first Bible! He was so excited!!! Pray with us that he might hunger for the True Word and for Jesus!!!
Only a couple of days after we met Baker we had a security police man at the Arua Airfield ask us for a Bible. We were happy to share one but only had our study bibles with us. Joanna went back out the next day to take all four of the active duty officers at the airfield a bible. They were delighted and were so thankful. They asked her to read something to them right then. What a special time it was to read from Phillippians 3 of Jesus and Who He is and Who He calls us to be! Pray for the three men and one lady who serve at the airfield...that they might have the same attitude and life as Christ!
Elsie Jayne continues to point her mom and dad to Jesus!!! She is braver and bolder each day as she smiles and greets everyone she meets and stands and just dances with joy at a n
ew day of life!! Oh that we might share in her joy just in living a new day! God is so good to bless us with today! I wonder what eternal realities He is working out in each of our lives as we wake up, go to dinner, drive (or fly) to a meeting...Jesus is about His eternal purposes and we praise Him!

Hey Billy and Jo! How are you doing? I've had a lot of time to reflect on my time in Uganda here lately and of course... my time there includes the three of you! I'm teaching kindergarten here in TN, but always thinking about Africa! I miss it a lot and am looking forward to the day I am able to return to a place my heart has grown to love so much. I would love to hear from you as you have the opportunity. Praying for you as you minister the love of Jesus to all those you come in contact. Thanks for being a blessing.
Daily life truly does speak volumes about the greater spiritual truths! As I wash Caleb's hands and face after a meal I am reminded of how Jesus called us to serve one another as He washed His disciples' feet. And as I repeat the same thing to him over and over, I am awed at how patient our Father is with us! Praying for your dear family as you do life together!
