dirtyfeetagain

flying in a second time was so incredible. i could pick out villages i had worked in and i could see the shiney tin roofs of new churches. i saw the wadupe mountains and just smiled at the thought of seeing those wonderful people again. as i got out of the truck at our compound i looked down and saw that my toes had a little dirt on them. "im back," i said. My clean american skin will soon give way to the red sudanese murrum. it wont be long before im covered in it.

funny how you can feel like you've "come home," yet be so far from everything you thought was home, huh. dig your toes in deep.

Isaiah 52:7 "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace.
Who bring glad tidings of good things!"

Hey Billy,

We are beginning the Shoe Box collection at church for Operation Christmas Child. Please pray for the people packing the boxes and especially pray for the children that will be receiving the boxes.
Matthew 25:40
And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'
