Hi Joe thanks again for reminding us to be still and listen I sometimes find that hard to do. You are so right He is waiting for us to realize He is God and that only thru Him will we find peace. That is also my prayer for you. I am so thankful for Him keeping you in His care and safe. I am also thankful for what He is doing in your life. I am so proud of you and look forward to these blogs. Thanks again for it being made possible.
I love you and will see you soon.
love
Mom

Hey Daddy--I know I haven't commented on the last few blog posts. Mostly cause I didn't really have anything to say. We talk every week (not that those phone calls are long enough) so a lot of time there's not much to say about the posts that I don't tell you. But I still read every one, and it's always interesting.

Haven't thought about Papa Bob's soap on a rope in years. I didn't realize he would have been 78 this year. That reminds me, I need to get back into my genealogy research.

Can't wait to talk to you this week. Missing last week sucked. But I love you and I miss you like crazy. --Amanda Jo

Hello my brother Joe, I was thinking...(I know, you smell wood burning), that perhaps you can write some of that Hebrew you have been studying...not too much now, but enough for us to try to translate it...If they will let you that is. That would be fun. I told my Pastor Rex about you working on learning how to read it, and he was amazed. I told him you have plans to write the Bible and he said that might be some kind of record breaking thing to do. He has never heard of anyone ever trying it before in English, let alone another language such as Hebrew or Ancient Greek.

It would certainly be interesting to see how long it would take for you to complete it. Perhaps once you complete it, you could post it, or mail it. I know a few folks to whom it would inspire. Remember, apart from God, we can do nothing that matters for eternity, Amen!

I will close for now. Don't forget that we pray and think about you every day. Mary says Hi and to call her when you think about it. She loves you more than you can even imagine. Pray for us, Joe, Christians are starting to be persecuted now, right here in the U.S. Who would have thunk it?

With love, your brother Mike

Hi Joe. Thinking of you. May our God bless you and keep you. May his face shine upon you and give you peace. And Oh, How HE can do it.
We had VBS this last week for Mon,Tue, and Wed. The first night we were having the story of Lazarus and I had someone play the part of Mary, Martha, Lazarus, a friend of theirs Jesus, and some of his disciples.(wasn't enough to have 12 disciples.) Well Jesus and his disciples were somewhere else, and Lazarus died. In our acting out the story, I would tell them what to say. When the kids started wrapping Lazarus body to bury all the kids wanted to help wrap him up. I thought Oh, OK I'll let them, then we'll go back to the story. When the little girl who played Jesus knelt down by Lazarus, she said, "It's all right, Jesus is here now."
Wow! What a sermon from a child. Even if all seems hopeless, Lazarus is dead, Mary and Martha are disappoited that Jesus didn't "come when they thought he should" and they are crushed with grief. But it's all right, Jesus is here now and he is all we need no matter what we are facing. Praise God. Since he came ,though the night seem long, and all hope seems gone, It's all right now. Halleujah
Mama says Keep praying for her. We're praying for you. Joyce and Grandma Blackwell
