As time goes on...

Hello again,
Just another quick note on here. Doc was here to see Don yesterday. He reviewed the x-rays and decided there might possibly have been a slight fracture just behind one of the toes. He gave Don another week on crutches and then 4 weeks with the boot on. So, keep praying for Don. His frustration level rises each day he realizes he can't do something.

We received word that our container should be in, in about ten days. (Another frustration level for Don). We are anxious to get it and start distributing the food. So many people are hurting here.

Another note of frustration is that our newest grandson, "J" has his tenth birthday today, and he is still not HOME with his family. He was seven when this whole process started. Pray for the whole family as well as the man who has yet to sign the papers to release "J" from Haiti. We believe in prayer and answered prayer, and we ask everyone to pray with us for this special request.

We have been inundated with rain. It seems every evening, we get some heavy, heavy rains. We have had enough now, and hope it stops soon. Vero and I went out the other night to change the water in Abbie's pool and wash Ti-Dove. Well, the pool got emptied (it's not real big), and we had started washing the truck when the evening downpour started. Since Don couldn't help, he stood in the doorway, TAKING PICTURES of us out in the downpour. But the truck was washed and clean.

Speaking of pictures, I have still been unable to find the program I want which reduces the pixels for putting them on here. Eventually I'll have some.

Every family has it's problems, and ours is not without. Please keep our kids in prayer as they walk through the problems they are facing. God is in control, but they need to concentrate on Him, not on problems. I guess that's true for ALL of us, family or not. It's a hard lesson to learn. We tend to keep the problem at the forefront, and not the Problem Solver, Jesus Christ. It's hard to overcome human nature, isn't it? But we can do it.
