YESTERDAY AND TODAY HAVE GONE VERY WELL. SO WELL, IN FACT, THAT WE WILL FINISH TOMORROW. ONE DAY AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. THEN WE WILL VISIT DESNAGORSK AND POCHINOK ON FRIDAY. THAT WILL GIVE THE GROUP ALL OF SATURDAY TO REST AND WE WILL HAVE A SUPPER TOGETHER ON SATURDAY NIGHT, THEN THEY LEAVE ON SUNDAY.
I AM REALLY PROUD OF MY GUYS. JEB AND JEFF ALL WAYS WORK WELL. BUT I HAVE BEEN SUPER PROUD OF THE WAY THAT GORDON AND PATRICK HAVE WORKED THIS YEAR. THEY HAVE BEEN INVALUABLE.
LAST NIGHT AFTER WORK WE WENT DOWN TO THE RIVER TO SWIM. IT WAS COLD. BUT THEN, SO IS THE SHOWER AT THE ORPHANAGE. WE ALL STINK.
SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO TJ THAT MOSQUITOES AND THESE BITING CRAZED FLIES ARE EVIL. THEY ARE A RESULT OF SIN. THE FALL. THEY BECAME A NUISANCE AND A MEGA BOTHER AFTER MAN FELL. THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THEM. AMEN.
I HAVE FOUND THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ENCOURAGES ME MOST IS WHEN THOSE WHO I LOVE...ARE ENCOURAGED. I LOVE IT WHEN SOMEONE DEAR TO ME IS HELPED, ENCOURAGED, MOTIVATED, EMPOWERED. IT GIVES ME SO MUCH JOY. DOES THAT HAPPEN WITH YOU? FOR INSTANCE, I AM SO MOTIVATED THAT YOU WERE ENCOURAGED BY PEOPLE COMING TO CHRIST IN ADYGEA. YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT, ENCOURAGES ME. I'M GLAD WE PARTNER THERE WITH LEONID. I'M GLAD GOD LED US THERE. I'M GLAD I SHARED IT WITH YOU. IT'S GOOD. SO HERE'S WHAT I'M THINKING. IF WE WORK ON OUR GIFTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT.....DOING OUR BEST TO LIFT THOSE AROUND US.....WE ARE ACTUALLY ENCOURAGING OURSELVES! WHAT A GREAT THOUGHT. SO I SAY..BE SELFISH...HELP YOURSELF...ENCOURAGE SOMEONE ELSE!!! WE CAN NEVER SAY THAT WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO IN OUR COMMUNITY AS LONG AS THERE IS PRAYER AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO DO.
LOVE YA'LL. YA'LL LOVE EACH OTHER.
Wow. After the fall flies and mosquitoes took to biting and bothering people and therefore became pure evil with no redeeming value. What does this say about humans who took to killing each other after the fall? No, dear friend, flies maintain a modicum of goodness, if in nothing else, in the fact that they exist at all, for existence in and of itself is a good that comes from God. I will grant you, though, that some things goodness exists more in their ability to be swatted. Thusly, swat away.
