Broken Stuff Still

Please take the time to read this incredible story about loving others and God’s work in this world. Click here to read the story.  It is from the December 17^th blog of another Okie.

Our broken-stuff-everyday-all-day experience continues. I thought I set up square space, the blog server I use, to publish 5 days in a row automatically. I am the broken one on that; square space works fine if you set it up right. You missed some great stuff which I will rework and get out over the Christmas holidays.

Elise broke down in our car in Zagreb this morning. Well, the car broke down while she was attempting to drive into the Zagreb to have her hair done in preparation for our Christmas trip to America.  I drove a friend's van to the city to rescue her; I was able to drive our car back to the Opel dealer. It died literally as I pulled into the parking lot. Thank you, Lord, for getting us that far.

Last week, Thursday through Saturday, I fixed heating units (that means I arranged a heating expert to come and fix the systems) in two of the three houses the IMB owns in the Zagreb area. On Sunday, a man called to say the heating in the other house was broken! Turns out, thankfully, the guy just did not know how to start it and I was able to get it going yesterday. Our colleagues who are coming back to Croatia in 9 days, after a six month furlough, will appreciate that.

This evening we are traveling to Petrinja to lead our sixth seminar with the Baptist church. Please continue to pray for this church, their walk with the Lord, and their outreach to their community.
