Our 6 kids

Josh, Jesse, Tiny Tim, Evangel, Joy, and Winnie got together for a picture.  Winnie

G'bye, Winnie 047
is planning to go back to Kenya soon we had a going-away party for her on Friday night, which was a good way to keep a bunch of kids happy and busy when there was no Youth Group.  Winnie has been staying with her Aunt Mary and Uncle Victor for over a year, and her cousin Jesse is one of our boys’ best buds.

Her leaving is a reminder that we don’t know how long other people’s lives will touch our lives, and we’ve got to use that time as though it could be short.  Redeeming the time, make it count! 

We’ve seen Winnie’s English improve immensely, and have enjoyed her smiley self.  We can pray the Lord guides and protects this special girl.

    Vicki, I SOOOO admire your shindig-throwing abilities. I know it's never too late to learn, so sign me up for any classes you give on "How to Throw a Party (cheerfully)".
