How do you go back?

There is no way to go back in time.  Just suffice to say, I haven't been diligent in blogging and I will commit to returning to my return.  Just as a highlight, I will say that the past several months have included some wonderful adventures:
* visits from long time friends
* visiting touristy places in country
* visits from other long time friends
* visiting fellow missionaries throughout the country
* "retreating" with fellow missionaries from throughout the country
* meeting grandson #1 John Mark Adams and spending time storing up snuggles and loving
* being the hands and feet of meeting physical needs in a little girl's life offering financial aid for doctors to care for her
* sharing the Miller Bed and Breakfast with new future longtime friends
* celebrating abundant eternal life through Jesus Christ in the midst of the litany of religion
* saying tearful goodbye to fellow laborers - twice - but celebrating with them the hope of a new dawn
* giving and receiving of unconditional "doggie" lovin'
* receiving and working alongside teams opening new doors in at present un-evangelized areas
* experiencing the joy of seeing new brothers and sisters in Christ receive salvation in Christ alone
* launching out again in ministry sharing the love of Christ in remote areas still living in darkness
* anticipating the arrival of grandson #2...almost any time now

And since, we are in the anticipation of almost soon arrival, I remain at home manning the phones and emails while David and the team from Brainerd Baptist in Chattanooga have returned to Nearar sharing Jesus love and salvation message through medical care.  Today was the first day of the clinic but this time held at Reyes' home.  Remember the tales of the trail to Reyes' house?  Well, all the medicine, medical supplies, food items, and people had to traverse that trail...down and up.  And least you think it is easier going down than it is up...think again, deep crevices on the side of the mountain with sandy pebbles sprinkling the STEEP incline...only about 25 minutes down and then the return trip in the afternoon...up...up...up...breathe...breathe....breathe.  It is HOT there these days.  They were praising God for the "cooler" weather...only 98 instead of the recent 107 degrees.

PRAY for fruitful ministry.  As the doctors and dentists meet physical needs, may the deeper spiritual needs come to light and the hope of Christ be implanted in many hearts and lives.

PRAY for fear to be dispelled through VICTORY in CHRIST.Though many have received Christ in the past, some are falling away from fear and confusion.

PRAY for spiritual growth.  Pray for the ones who have genuinely received Christ to have a desire and longing to know Him and His word.

PRAY for safety, health, and stamina. It is difficult at best.

PRAY for rest for the weary and refreshment to the body.
