Safe

Safe. Before leaving for Thailand I knew that no place on this planet is "safe" except for being in God's hand but that knowledge has been challenged several times since living here, but perhaps most extensively (so far) on New Year's Eve when eight (?) bombs(?) went off in Bangkok...and one at a local mall that we go to often. Thankfully God wantched over our team and Thai staff and thankfully there wasn't more bloodshed. Three are dead and around 30 are injured according to reports on the BBC and the Bangkok Post. Please continue to pray for this nation...that God would work and His will would be done. That many would repent and turn to Him and understand true peace and the One Who's government is perfect and will NEVER fail and is also all powerful.

I want to thank you for your prayers that Paul returned home safely this morning (5:30 AM our time). He had a wonderful trip and I am going to TRY to get him to write a blog on his adventure. The trip was right up his alley complete with camping and cold weather...for Paul it can't get much better than that! God kept them safe on the highways and thru some other adventures that hopefully he'll share later!
The boys and I stayed busy. We hosted a New Year's Eve party here at our house and our entire team minus one couple and Kim (who is on bedrest) came. Including some visitors from the States (Tim and Rhianna Mill's family members). It was great. We played games, ate good food (and I am not talking about the food I made either!) and had a great time of fellowship. Then New Year's Day evening we had a sleepover with two other women on the team. It was a lot of fun too. We watched Fiddler on the Roof and ate peanut butter pie and popcorn. It was a lot of fun too. Haven't been to a sleep over in ages!
So, that is the news on our end of the world. Catch you later.
