Some friends

We met weekly, and not only prayed and read the Bible but had some fun and good laughs.  Left to right are Linda Lemkau, Julia Sheeks, Joan Hust, Melinda Butler, and Maureen Larson.

Israel Garden Tomb

It was a blazing hot day and night while we were in Israel.  The Garden tomb was awesome, and as you read your Bible the area comes back to your mind that it was such a blessing to have been there with our sons.

Hong Kong many years ago.

It is always quite an experience walking the crowded streets of Hong Kong with our two sons that were not teenagers yet.  To keep an eye on where they were as they would stop and look at the shops, and push each other and run away or walk too slow was an experience to remember.

China Children

I was walking with my friend YaGang and a young man from Oxford in England.  We met him and his guide on the Grand Canyon trail in China near the Tibet border. These darling children let us take their photo.  They had a newborn lamb in their arms.

Burundi Sunset

It is always a breath taking experience to see the sun going behind the clouds in the sky and gradually all of a sudden it is dark, and the beauty of the sky is hidden somewhere till the next day.  I think of the hymn “Somewhere beyond the blue there’s a mansion for me.  Somewhere beyond the blue I am longing to see. To see my Savior’s face, and sing Redeeming Grace.”

Burundi Mission Trip kids

One morning I woke up early so I went for a walk with two of our team before breakfast. It was fun to see these children playing cards that they had made from odds and ends of scrap paper.

Brazil Mission Trip with Danielle McIver

Danielle was the daughter of Dan McIver.  She is a Math and Science school teacher and lives in Canada. This mission trip was hosted by the Christian and Missionary Alliance church.  I was saved under the ministry of the CMA church in St. Petersburg, Florida when I was a sophomore in High School when Mrs. Billy Sunday was the speaker.  I have not attended a CMA church since then till I went on this mission trip to Brazil.  How many years later?  Wow… it was 60 years,
