Couldn't Sleep

What could possibly be on my mind to make it stay on and not allow me to sleep?

> birthday of my youngest today, reviewing years gone by

> future of our work in Abreus and all around Lage

> what to do with kids that just don't listen to a Bible story

> is there some magic flight to the USA for a cheap price with lots of luggage and really great seats hiding somewhere on the Internet

> how to work in a visit to our work for a young lady who works with facial beauty

> should I clean my house tomorrow 

> how many mosquito bites does it take to get Dengue fever?

My Promise Verse

Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take:  when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. This verse has been a favorite of mine since I was a teenager. When I was a high school senior at a Christian school in Virginia, Job 23:10 was chosen as our class theme verse.

As I have grown older, I have begun to look more toward the pearly gates and have reconsidered the thr...

There are still donkey carts in the street.  They have better wheels nowadays! There are still people who live in grass huts and high apartment buildings, too. Bicycles are still many people's only means of transportation, if they are that lucky! Many roads in the interior towns are still paved with cobblestones, if they are paved at all. And yes, chickens are everywhere, even in big cities. Brazil still needs missionaries! That's right, Brazil is not evangelized and in no need of foreign missionaries today.  It still needs workers to spread the Good News of the Gospel and the Risen Saviour!  Sadly that part of t...
