This is a precious family whose hearts are so open to God's leading that they bought a house in the midst of the refugee community. A trip to Tanzania was a highlight in their lives, and their lovely home reflects their love for Africa . . . and her people.
Terry and I loved watching our friends' son, and Terry managed to accomplish a miracle -- she was so calm that this bright and busy little two-year-old actually fell asleep in her arms!
Terry and I actually managed to write four weeks of curriculum. A major miracle in itself!The Beatles...
On our way home, Tim suggested we head to nearby Norcross Park to watch a Beatles cover band called The Return.
Tim grew up in the US during the fifties and sixties, so the Beatles are a strong part of his memories. I grew up in Kenya, and I had barely heard of the Beatles when I arrived in the US to attend college. Hard to believe, but true.I thought it would be fun to walk down memory lane (should I say Penny Lane?) with my husband. We arrived to find a huge crowd gathered around the natural amphitheater. Yeah -- mostly over-50, white folks. A big change from our usual friends and neighbors these days!
Tim knows every word to all the Beatles songs. He was singing, clapping, and getting goosebumps. The Return does a great job of capturing the true Beatles experience -- or so I'm told.
Tim got happier by the minute. And I was happy, too, especially when he fetched us some decidedly non-British hot dogs and pizza. 
As the sun set, we noticed the old church behind the park. Norcross is a quaint town, and we enjoyed getting to know it better.
After the concert, we stopped at an ice cream stand and shared a hot fudge sundae with a cherry on top.
Thank you, Lord, for another wonderful day.

It sounds like you guys had a fun day. I am praying for you and your family in your ministry. Julie told me that you had contacted her about helping out on some Saturdays. I would love to come and help you with the children.
