Remembering 9-11-01

Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001. I was sitting in our living room. Drinking coffee. Watching The Today Show on NBC, channel 5. David was at work. That's what I was doing on 9/11. Wow! How awful! Tragic! Then, the second plane hit! Shock! Anger! Sadness! Not sure why I didn't immediately call David, but I just sat there. Glued to the television. Finally, I had to get out of the house, so I went walking in the neighborhood. Not much traffic. Guessed everyone else was glued to their televisions, too. One of the things that still touches me to this day is remembering all of the pictures of lost loved ones posted everywhere. People desperate for word about someone they loved. I was thankful all my loved ones were safe, but saddened that so many had died needlessly. I prayed that God would comfort them. I still pray that same prayer. Since 9-11... Ten years have gone by so fast and I'm thinking back, over all that has happened. Remembering those lost loved ones. Daddy. Feldon. Corwin. Granny Johnson. Billy. Many others... Remembering joys... such as when our grandchildren, Lindsay, Brayden and Shelby, were born... Being able to go on the four mission trips to Honduras and meeting so many sweet people there and sharing the Good News about Jesus with them. I thank God for my family, my church family, for friends, for all He has given me. I am truly blessed. Thank You, God!

Honduras 2011 - Coming Soon!!!

Two weeks from today a group from Jacksboro, Wichita Falls and Naples, TX will be in Catacamas Honduras! The trip this year has been on again and off again for several months! What a roller coaster. It has been crazy and changed our group from 20 or so to only 7. Sad that many won't be able to make it this year, but we will have a great time doing the Lord's work for the sweetest people. David won't be making the trip this year(vacation issues), so that makes me sad, but maybe next year. Can't wait to see old and familiar faces and meet new ones. Still working on my Bible lesson and handwork. Lots of small cut outs, but the ladies at church have been a great help getting that done. THANKS LADIES! Couldn't have done it without you! Please keep us all in your prayers. Will post pics when we get back.

Honduras 2010

What a trip we had. It was a great! We had 23 workers this trip. Rained EVERY DAY! There is a facebook group that has over 1000 pictures, if you want to see what we did. We all made it back safely. There is a lot of work to do there and the brothers and sisters of Honduras need lots of prayers. Just heard from David Chacon that there is flooding that has affected the Catacamas area and they have recently lost 50 in the church family to dengue fever. Please remember them in your prayers.

Heading Back to Honduras!!!

Won't be long now! Please keep our 2010 Honduras Mission team in your prayers. This year we have Richard, Mac, Phillip, Poppa Frank, Donna, Darrell, Connie, Yvonne, Savannah, Cassidy, Billy, David, Ken, Miguel, Phyllis, Laronda, Brent, Cary, Evan, John, David and I. It is rainy season there, so please pray for safe travel. Now, where did I put those rain boots??? The plans are to teach to approximately 1000 children, deliver food baskets to as many families as possible, teach ladies classes and work on construction projects. Hope I can get everything ready in the few days left. Look out Catacamas, here we come!!! Thank you God for making this possible!!!

Christmas is near...

Many friends are facing the first Christmas without loved ones. Our sympathy goes out to the Russell family, the Frie Family, the King Family, the Escobar Family (from Honduras), and many others...

Count your many blessings, count them one, by one...

And our blessings are many!

Thank You God for the ultimate sacrifice of allowing your precious Son to come to earth. Please, please, please remember to thank God for Jesus and the sacrifice He made when He gave His life on the cross, allowing us to have the chance for eternal life.

The ultimate gift!

Thank You God!

Thank You Jesus!

Thank You Holy Spirit!

Merry Christmas to all!

Missing Honduras...

We didn't get to go to Honduras this year, thanks to the mess going on with the new and old presidents. The sad part about this is the people of Honduras are the ones missing out. Well, we are missing out, as well. BUT, WE ARE PLANNING TO GO BACK! We still have our plane tickets and hopefully, things will settle down and the gasoline and food supplies will get back to normal, or better, and we will get to go there again. Please pray for the people of Honduras and for their government, that they will have peace once again.
