"... we are always harking back to some occasion which seemed to us to reach perfection, setting that up as a norm, and depreciating all other occasions by comparison. But these other occasions, I now suspect, are often full of their own new blessing, if only we would lay ourselves open to it. " (C. S. Lewis)

It's a Small World After All

The world seems like such a huge place
(especially when your husband is in a different country)

Last Thursday:
Ken left for 12 days. His trip took approximately 30 hours.

Last Friday:
Aidan: Who will read the Bible tonight if Daddy isn't here?

E-mail from Indonesia yesterday
"At all of the hotels and skyscrapers, there are bomb sniffing dogs and police with mirrors to look under cars. They inspect all the trunks and have scanning devices for people as they walk into the buildings. It is a very standardized way of life here now I guess."

5:30 p.m. last night (dinner table)
Ellis: Dear Jesus, please keep daddy safe in Arizona....in Jesus name, Amen.
Aidan: It's not Arizona silly. It's Indonesia!
Everyone: Giggle, snicker, giggle

6:30 p.m. last night
Ken called. We had a 45 minute conversation.
We got to talk to him and see him and he could see us!
And it was free!

Suddenly the world doesn't seem so huge!

Thank you Lord for technology!
