Vehicle update: we found the Ford clutch part, $212; to install it, $10.59. The Chevy Van, don't know yet…. Today we met the family in need of a roof who has 23-year-old severely disabled son. They live up on the mountain. I’ve heard people live up there, but had never been. The trek up made the Coke sign in San Pedro seem like a walk in the park. It rained last night and water had washed away part of their dirt floor and their cots and clothes were wet. They will need 22 roof panels; we’ll set about getting them….. I had a good conversation with the school directors this morning. They offered an additional five, total of 10, full scholarships if we can provide a desk and chair for each new student…. Oscar was by this am for more dressing for his throat. His church has a week of fasting and prayer week of 10/16. Let me know if you want to put something on his list; God loves the poor, their prayers are pretty strong… We had a talk this morning about the need for our employees to model responsibility for the kids… Flor was robbed at gunpoint on the bus yesterday… Storm tonight; just set off the alarm… We went to shore today for an hour of exercise. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Edward Young wrote, “Less base the fear of death than fear of life." I think the saddest day of all for any Christian will be the day he comes to the end of his life on earth and discovers he never really lived.
