More Just Stuff

It feels like forever since I have posted. Guess I will post a little something now.

My niece, Marcy, had a baby Monday. Jentry Jo Pribyl was 7-lbs 15-oz, 21-inch. I got to see and hold her tonight. She is a pretty baby. Marcy and Cris did good. They will hopefully get to go home on Friday.

I will be hitting the road next Tuesday (1st) and heading towards KY and IN. I have some speaking engagements, and will be visiting with some team members from the past year who have been to Jamaica, as well as visiting the CSI office in Muncie. Please pray for God to go before me and for safety as I travel.

Also, be in prayer for the rest of my time home. I will be speaking in a few churches as I try to boost my support. The financial difficulties that have affected others over the past year have affected my monthly support as well. Please pray with me that the Lord will provide me opportunities to speak to those whom He has already prepared to join me as ministry partners, as well as to encourage others who may have fallen away from their monthly giving. Since God called me to serve, I will trust Him to provide.

Gotta go.

What Do You Do????

What do you do when.....

...you don't feel like doing anything?
Do something anyway.

...you don't feel like being kind?
Be kind anyway.

...you don't feel like doing housework?
Do housework anyway.

...you don't feel like staying married?
Stay married anyway.

...you don't feel like praying?
Pray anyway.

...you don't feel like reading the Word?
Read it anyway.

...you don't feel like spending time with God?
Spend time with Him anyway.

...you don't feel like serving Him?
Serve Him anyway.

Sometimes we need to remember that LIFE IS NOT ABOUT FEELINGS!!!!

Just Stuff

Jamie and I went to Kingston on Monday and took care of some business for the container that is coming down this month. Then today we went back to pick up papers that we were told were ready to pick up for another purpose. But, they were NOT ready. (It happens more often than you may think.) So we did some shopping and had lunch.

This coming Thursday Jamie and I will fly to Florida to meet up with Nick and Jody and much of the rest of the CSI staff from Haiti, North America, Muncie, and members of the CSI board for the CSI Staff Retreat. I am looking forward to a wonderful time of reconnecting and fellowship with fellow servants.

Following the retreat I will be headed home to OK for 6 weeks of HMA (Home Ministry Assignment). During that time I will try to make it out to the Midwest to visit some of the churches that have sent teams to Jamaica this year, as well as visiting with many of my supporters at home.

And now for an update on my mouse hunting adventures..... I have not caught any more mice, or seen any evidence of them in the last week. So far so good. (Word must have gotten around among all the other mice.)
