Hi

God is always good, just simply amazes me how thing can change. God is opening doors with my writing.  Frank's going to be able to have a table at an upcoming Celtic Festival sponsered by the owners of a Christian book store in a town near where I grew up.  He's going to be selling some of his smaller chain mail (armor) creations and hopefully get a few orders for larger pieces.  The store owner is interested in stocking some of his things on a regular basis!

The kids are growing by leaps and bounds.  Joshua finally defeated our "Jericho" (the half-wall Frank built to keep him in the living room).  So, now I have to put the gate at the kitchen and close all the doors upstairs to keep him out of as much trouble as possible lol.

I'm still amazed at all the blessings we've seen lately.  It's so easy to take things for granted.  We had another missionary family visit our church today.  They are working in the Bronx, NY (the last couple who visited were working with Gypsies in Romania).  When you hear what people go through just to get by day to day, and the hopelessness of those who don't know Jesus, really makes you stop and be thankful for everything you have, even when you don't think it's "enough".

Pray for missionaries all over the world, and pray to see how God can use you, even if it's just talking to your next door neighbor.
