Beyond even that, He restored that which H...

I made our regular cookie recipe but added the choc. chips right after the melted butter so they turned out marbled instead of looking like they usually do. This recipe is from my good friend who lives in China as a missionary. She is a wonderful cook , woman of God, Christ follower and mother- and these are my favorite choc. chip cookies! 

http://www.tepse.org/ The Ezekial Project website. This group trains Street Evangelists in doing sidewalk outreach in cities.  http://www.uplook.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=802&Itemid=104   This is an article about the GNOM team. (Good News On the Move)  They travel around the States and do door-to-door work, giving people invitations to evangelistic coffee nights at local assemblies.  We went down to Dallas and helped them for the weekend.  It was an amazing experience.  On Saturday, we helped with a carnival in the park.  The weather forecast predicted rain and thunderstorms for Saturday, but the Lord held the rains at bay. It didn't rain until Sunday afternoon, and then it started pouring!  On Sunday afternoon my family went with the team to several nursing homes to sing and preach the gospel. The GNOM teams do a great work for the Lord, and it was encouraging to see their passion for sharing the Gospe...

Hello from Devonshire! Went shopping with Grandma today. Clark's shoes, Austins, The Body Shop and Waterson's a book shop. Great deals on some shoes at CLARK'S. Found a red pair of leather 'mary janes.' Now we are at Uncle David's having tea and chocolate digestives. Ollie the gray and white cat is sitting outside in the sun and Bella the boxer and Mugwae a little gray dog are playing together by the green AGA in the teal blue kitchen. (An Aga is a stove/oven that stays hot all the time) This morning I walked in Grandma's neighborhood down to the 'Model Store' a little convenience store and the coffee shop nearby. Looked at some antique teacups and silver sugar spoons for a pound sterling. They also had framed photography by a local photographer. Flowers and landscapes of Devon. A quiet place at 12:15 in the afternoon. One couple sat eating their lunch and they chatted in hushed tones. Walked back to Grandma's hearing the laughter and frolicking ...

Greetings from Scotland! I am in quaint, lovely Elgin at the moment, for the the first International Trumpet Conference held here. Heard trumpet greats such as Andrea Tofanelli, James Bond soundtrack player, Derek Watkins, Ryan Quigley, and Georgina Bromilow. Met new friends and saw some old ones too.  Natural Spice is a great Indian food restaurant. I highly recommned it. It is just by the Town square here Enjoying the food, weather and beautiful scenery. :-) I have taken at least 800 photos already! Check back soon for picures! Looking forward to seeing Grandma in Devon. Met a couple this morning from Florida at breakfast. Watched them try black pudding- with much intimidation, they said it tasted interesting.

We watched this inspiring movie last night. Samir, a new Christian, travels back to Iran to visit his family. Once there, h e faces rejection and disownment from his family when they discover he has left Islam for Christianity.  Follow Samir as he searches for local believers in Iran and is encouraged by fellowship with other Christians, valued much more highly there than here in America. A riveting story that exposes the viewer to what life is like for many Christians around the world.  This is the website (Open Doors) that sells the DVD if you are interested in purchasing your own copy.  www.christianfilms.com/behindthesundvd.htm A sobering reminder, to daily lift up our persecuted family in prayer.
