Quick update on the situation

Here it is Tuesday, a normal MFI day, and no planes.  The whole situation is escalating now.  We have no REAL idea why all of this is going on.  We have heard from different sources different reasons.  The word out now is that no white people should be on the streets at all.  No problem, we don't plan on going anywhere.  But Vero and Shannon are stuck half way to town at Vero's brother's house.  At least they are safe.  

Roads are still blocked, and the fortifications seem to be increasing, so it won't be easy to tear them down.  Here at our place things are quiet.  We have a group of police sitting about 2 blocks from our place, trying to figure out what to do.  At least they are keeping things calm here.  But no way to go beyond our place at this time.  

MFI is trying to figure out how and when to come in...since it would be impossible for anyone to get to the airport.  They are on standby to come and take those out who want to leave, too.  MFI is always right there for us when we need them.  

I am trying to coordinate getting a couple of other groups out, with us and with Hendricks Motor sports.  But again, just waiting on the situation to clear up enough to get people to the airport and get the airport open.  

Like I shared before, life is never dull here.  Can't say I especially WANT this type of excitement, but God is here and walking with us through this, so we can depend on Him to help us cope.  It really is amazing to know that whatever comes our way, God will be here and help us with it all.  We don't have to do it on our own.

Pray for things to calm down.  Pray for God to make Himself real in this situation.
Till next time..... God bless!!

Thank you for these updates on your blogsite. Crazy, huh? At least Don is getting some "odds and ends projects" done in his garage. That's good.
