OK, I'll admit it. I did just spend the last 45 minutes creating a tool on my computer bible program to be able to search and link to all the map files the came with my ESV atlas - my wife just laughed at me when I tried to show her how sweet it was. Oh well!
We're all thanking the Lord for better health this week. It's good to see Benaiah crawling all over the place and up to his daredevil explorations again. He had an excellent swimming lesson this week and would peacefully float on his back, stare at the fish on the ceiling, and kick those chubby little legs. Good job buddy!
Next week I'll be heading to a conference in Orlando as part of my internship. Yep, Orlando - I've been getting grief over that for months now :-) I guess I'll just have to enjoy being cooped up in air-conditioned buildings for all three of us. The conference topic is quite controversial these days and should make for some very thought provoking discussion - "can a follow of Jesus who was once a Muslim consider himself a true Muslim and remain within Islam?" This also makes for a very timely discussion as riots and uncertainty grip much of North Africa and parts of the Muslim world. May the Peace of Jesus Christ come upon them all!
Thank you for your prayers on our behalf. Rachel continues to work faithfully as a swim teacher and loves her days as a stay at home mom. I'm so grateful to be studying the wealth of God's word - going deeper everyday. And Benaiah enjoys the adventure of every moment...and so do we.
