Re: Today ...
I'm just starting to prep for a new Bible study series for our home group on Genesis. I plan to do it inductively, cross referencing forward into later books of the Bible as we go. The idea is not only to listen to the text, but to draw out the themes which make Genesis foundational to our faith and to the rest of Scripture.

Re: Today ...
Today our family begins a new adventure. Our year and a half in Mexico came to a close yesterday. Our church has lost all interest in continuing the mission we were sent to start and they have decided to end their involvement in it. We have passed through a lot of different emotions and are trying to keep our balance through it all. It is gut-wrenching to pour your heart into something and have it casually dismissed and discarded by your brothers.
Today we will be touring the zoo and aquarium in Albuquerque. The children are quite excited about it. We will be sort of wandering around the Eastern US in the next several months, visiting family and taking training for the next stage of our lives, which will be working for CAM in the SALT program in Nicaragua.
Keep our family in your prayers. I do not want my children to develop any bitterness or bad attitudes from the knocks of life, but I struggle with it myself sometimes. I need the grace of God to raise them in a God-fearing way, willing to serve others.

Re: Today ...
I understand your sadness having been through a similar situation. Only God can grant a vision. Father, I pray that you will touch the hearts of stone that have lost their compassion for others, and grant an extra measure of grace to our friend to continue faithful to you and the heavenly calling, in Jesus' name.

Re: Today ...
I can feel for you, Peregrino. The death of a vision one has worked hard for can be heartbreaking. Keeping your family from bitterness, as you seek, may be hard, but it's important. Blessings on the next step in your journey.
