Ashamed to say I haven't really read this blog on Panama work yet. Now I have. this is seriously unbelievable. It is amazing all the stories that you and the team have wrote on this site for all to read. I hope that you are feeling better. James 5:14, Matthew 7:7-8-,maybe these verses can help you. <BR/><BR/>I know you hear it all the time, but what you are doing is seriously changing people's lives! God is working so much through you....maybe someday my wife and I can come down and bug you! :) I will pray tonight that God will heal your back/leg.Ablasdelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01344137274957083165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345162664889891195.post-51700207165313804782008-07-17T15:59:00.000-06:002008-07-17T15:59:00.000-06:00Brother Joe, thanks for writing on Janie's behalf....Brother Joe, thanks for writing on Janie's behalf.

We know that we don't know, and that is why we are asking for prayers. thanks too for the prayers! We love you!<BR/><BR/>On a further note, these same children have been asking us to be their parents for...more than a year. We did not ever take them seriously before. Now the oldest and the 6 year old are here regularly asking the same question. And we understand that it is an earnest request. We have dear friends, and others in the States who I know would love to adopt these beauties, but is that what is best, if it were possible? We are waiting, certain that God will make it clear, with time.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759723884806519587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345162664889891195.post-39816998750786227202008-07-17T13:46:00.000-06:002008-07-17T13:46:00.000-06:00hey this is Joe Berry, pastor of Holly Springs Bap...hey this is Joe Berry, pastor of Holly Springs Baptist Church in Little Rock, Ar. I am Janie's Pastor. She wanted me to tell you that I let her come over and read your blog, and to tell you that she love you and she is praying for you.

I encourage us all - as we pray and study and consider this - to not confuse culture with Godliness. (I know you are living in it, and are much more comfortable with the concept than we are...) I am not equating 'beating a drum in worship' with 'giving away a child', you understand... I'm just saying... before any of us try to 'correct' this situation, we want to be really careful that our disdain for this custom isn't JUST because it is culturally unacceptable to us... what is a Biblical standard in this case? that will be an interesting and very revealing study, and I know God will guide you in this effort to understand and help. we think of you daily!<BR/><BR/>God Bless!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498113118599691994noreply@blogger.com
