Sweet Memories

Our grandson 

     Here is a picture of my friend  of many years in   Thephillipines   at their orphanage.  
 This  image represents  many years of trusting God for His Provision in Ministry , as well as growing up  In the Faith unto a working knowledge of  Christian  Grace and purpose. 
My friend, Susan Kimball,  represents that kind of character  in her expression of Biblical values. 

Of these Values, we were nurtured  and instructed  in the days of our youth to honer Christ and live for Him. 
 It is a sad day when  Biblical Truth  is   summarily subject to mans secular foolishness




I have been studying some materials to write a  teaching  manual for my sessions with our Marriage and Family Seminar. 
I enjoy research and making application, and the application must be understood and practical. 
 For  myself, I am challenged  in the process of clarity  and being concise 
In my spare time, which is the afternoon brief rest  time, , I managed to finish an ambitious painting for our wall here.  I had to lay this canvas over every flat  surface  to work 
  On  it. 
In the  end  I  was pleased on 2 accounts. 
I had  finished what I started and that it did not embarrass me hanging up. 


 
 



I this  painting is Titled: TROPICAL dreams  it is 52 inches  x4 ft. 



have also had art classes with our grandson Noah who shows  great ability and interest in Art and colours. 






Leah and I have enjoyed many  wonderful memories over our coffee talks.  These times together have been  the highlight of many a long and studious afternoon. We have treasured such times. 




We are now on our way to Burma,  on  July 4. Will post another from there. Our 


Our grandson Boaz getting in some play time with grandpa and darts.  As you can see,  the  rain is just a expected   Part  of the day.
