Little Is Much

I was just thinking that I never told you what happened to the van. I told you it Kaputted. But Gene had it running again the next morning. It took him a little bit to narrow down the problem - it was just one little "coil" thing. Not to expensive. Just one of those things.
And the two boys that rode home with the tow-truck fella got to talk to him about "going to church." My little missionaries.

Jorja lost two more teeth this weekend. She wiggled one Saturday till it dropped out and then Sunday during the invitation at church another one "heard the call" and jumped out.
She is the cutest snagglepus.

We pulled up at the house after church yesterday to find Essie, the pig, standing in the yard. So we filed out slowly and in our Sunday duds chased that pig around the yard and into the edge of the woods - twice. We tried bribing her with food. We (Gene in a tie) tried tackling her. We tried getting a rope around her neck. She is a very smart pig. Finally, by just running along side her, (stopping for her to sniff and munch things on the ground) we corralled her back to her pen. She was very happy to be home again (jiggity jog).
Just in case you ever have to chase pigs in your Sunday duds - change shoes first. Them little cute slipper things us ladies wear are just not the thing to go hopping through the woods in.
And remember what Gene said as he pondered this adventure - "pigs are slick even when they aren't greased."

My friend Ann is still in Russia - and getting media attention! She said things have been going smoothly and little Chance is just wonderful. Pray the details that are left also go smoothly and that we will get to welcome them home this weekend.

I very excited this morning. Matter of fact I'm just bubbling over!
I've been thinking of having another Franklin County Right to Life meeting but was resisting the urge to ask for things. Then in the past week there have been a secession of coincidences (that's God working anonymously).
A lady called me from a doctors office and offered her help and the use of the doctors "reception area." So we have The place.
Then I read a short article about about a lady, who lives in Franklin County, that was preggers and had cancer at the same time - and had chemo - and she is fine and the baby was a perfectly healthy boy (he's 2 1/2 now). I shot her an email and she called me right back. We talked a long time! What a story she has to tell!
So, tada! I have The speaker! A real live person with a powerful testimony!
I just need to come up with a date. I turned that back over to Him and sent an email to my dear friend at Georgia Right to Life.

The other good news is that to be an "official" right to life chapter I need two board members (Gene can't be one). I may have mentioned this in several conversations. As of today God is answering that prayer also - they are praying about it! AND called me to tell me about it!

So, other than sending 3 emails and answering the phone and asking "Are you willing?" a few times - I've done nothing. God is planning this one! He is sending in the laborers.



Update: By bedtime Monday night everything was set for our Franklin County Right to Life Meeting
It will be: Febuary 28, 2013, 7:00 PM at Lighthouse Family Practice - I just need extra chairs (NOT a problem).
God is great! I'm still pretty tickled!
I'll post the flyer soon - and I'm sure you'll be reminded.
