Another day…
I’m sitting here this morning at a coffee shop with Christian worship music, blasting out of the sound system at one of the nicest cafés at UCU. They make the coffee how I like it. It just rained last night. The clouds are just now beginning to dissipate. There’s cookfire smoke in the air as cooks are preparing breakfast…
Thieves Again
For those of you who are praying for us, please pray earnestly for our safety. The fence we put up 5 years ago is now seriously compromised and no longer keeping people out who have sinister motives.
