I like that they're standing in front of a tank. After all, love is a battlefield . . .
especially with Robert N. : )

Hi, Gregg... I try to read your blog every week or so...but lately I've lagged behind. Some wonderful man has taken all my time and all my thoughts! VBG! But I couldn't resist posting on this subject since Dale and I were each married happily for 57 years to our spouses. Now we begin a new romantic adventure with one another, a brand new love affair we are enjoying, one only God could give us.

It is my prayer that your parents have many, many more happy years together. God, in His grace and wisdom, had a plan for Dale and me....for which we praise Him. We are deeply and truly in love which is an amazing blessing neither of us were seeking or expecting. But we both will always cherish, remember and honor our first love.

When you talk with your parents next, remind them that we never know what a day may hold and to always, always cherish each moment they have together. And you and Sherry do the same. Only God knows when that last moment may come.

With love,
Joyce Lewis

The adventure begins

Many of you may know that I have been planning for many months to go to Uganda. After many changes of flights, we finally ended up with a start date of yesterday morning - waaaaay too early in the morning. We arrived at the airport and discovered that our flight was cancelled which threw the team into uncertainty. Fourteen of us (another 2 had planned to come 2 days later) were at the mercy of Northwest Airlines and Delta. After more than a few flight plans and changes, we ended up splitting the team into 2 primary groups. The first group (I'm on this one) leaves today and will arrive in Uganda on Tuesday afternoon. The second group leaves early tomorrow (Monday) and arrives Tuesday evening. Our group has a more circuitous route through Dubai and Ethiopia and the other groups follows our original route straight from Amsterdam through to Uganda. Why go? We listen to the stories of those who've gone before and desire to make a difference - to be a part of something greate...

Questions from Mr/Ms Anonymous

I have received a few "anonymous" comments to this blog since starting it over 6 months ago. Usually, they are read and ignored because I feel that if someone isn't willing to own up to what they have to say, then it must not be very important. However, I received one today and decided to answer one of his/her questions. When I worked at Hewlett Packard, we would have occasional "coffee talks". These were large meetings of an organization where some planned topics would be discussed before the leader of the meeting would often ask, "what rumors have you heard that I can refute or validate?" So, in that spirit of openness, I will attempt to answer one of these questions. "Is the Church in Trouble? " This depends. I capitalized the word, Church, as the question was written. So, I will give two answers: one for the global Church and the other for the local church (Central Community). The global Church. If being "in trouble" means that ...
