Elle is lying on the couch ...Praying for you both. Elle is lying on the couch at our house tonight. It's Friday and we are awaiting a snow storm here in Virginia. Elle is moaning because she just ran 24 miles in freezing weather. She's training for a 50K to run Feb 13th. Callie Jackson will come from TX to run with her. I think they are crazy. About as crazy as Katie and Ben......Elle's momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448857389313812130.post-57111602308910114942010-01-25T13:45:40.172-05:002010-01-25T13:45:40.172-05:00Ben,
What a wonderful thought of the sounds of Hal...Ben,<br />What a wonderful thought of the sounds of Hallelujahs from those beloved people! Thank you for sharing!<br /><br />And, for what it's worth :), here's my take on that comment the lady made ...<br />Some questions are best answered by "yes AND no." I have had to learn to live in some paradoxes of truth as God has shifted me and grown me in my relationship with him, and this is one of those for me. Yes, Satan was defeated the moment Christ died and conquered death, but NO evil is not gone from the earth yet. There is still so much suffering - from the Haitians and other third world situations to people in my neighborhood consumed by debt or addicted to drugs. Evil seems to reign.<br /><br />In the midst of this broken, BROKEN world, we have to claim and proclaim Truth and Good where we find it, acknowledge and rely on the Power of Christ's Name, and be moved wherever he takes us by the guidance of the Holy Spirit. And it's so much easier said (and typed) than done! <br /><br />May we all be sensitive to the Spirit's nudgings and act and obey, so people may come to know Him and bring glory to His Name because of our love! May we continue to love and serve the people of Haiti, helping them to live, to heal, to hope, to rebuild and reorganize, for years to come - long after Anderson and Dr. Gupta return home and stop reporting. <br /><br />For it is continual acts of LOVE that drive evil from this world. And THAT is what you two are doing right now! We lift you up and give thanks for you!<br /><br />Love you both!<br />Kim :)Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16278950750903425691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448857389313812130.post-65336061976235134182010-01-25T00:57:48.417-05:002010-01-25T00:57:48.417-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jeff BBzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11704724892704077645noreply@blogger.com
