P.S.

The little girl in the left-hand column of this blog recently started to climb into some hot water thinking it was her turn for a bath. She has severe burns on her chest and stomach as well as on her arms and hands. She is being transferred to a hospital near to the capital city. Please pray for her.

SURPRISE!!!

Well, I have not kept up very well - so here is a summary. I finished the course in West Virginia and we had planned on camping down to Florida to take the kids to Disney before we go. They have never been there and are just at the right ages. However, we had to go home first to finish up some work on our house to get it ready to sell. Also, we found out that due to a computer glich, our reservations had not gone through. So, we worked on the house and were playing it by ear as far as our Disney trip. In the meantime, we started our flight booking with the travel agent and were planning on flying out on September 16. Someone contacted us through our realtor to see about renting, which is really neat since they are involved in ministry as well. Having our house issue settled was a huge weight off of our minds, so as of Thursday morning, we asked the travel agent to reserve our tickets and we went to get all of our yellow fever vaccines. At lunch, I took Caleb over to spend the afternoon playing with his best friend. Approx 15 minutes after I dropped him off, his friend's mom called me to say that he had broken his lower leg. It turned out that his leg had been clamped between a trailer door and the base of the trailer and a quick trip to the ER revealed that he had indeed broken both the tibia and fibula. SOOO, we are now on hold, possibly until the end of October according to the orthopedic surgeon. Please pray for us - our house is rented out as of October 2 and we had already gotten rid of our furniture. Mentally we had one foot on the airplane, so this is a long 2 months of limbo. However, I am convinced that God has a very good reason for all of this - so we might as well enjoy the ride. Lemonade anyone?!? - Lemons abound!
