We're Baaaack!

Yes our 1/10 - 26/2012 trip to Texas and back has indeed happen! And somewhere I'll post the complete report as soon as I figure out how to do that obviously simple thing. Until that time, I want to share my personal highlight.

Day 8 (1/17)
Shopping with sister  This is my personal highlight. She is more than my sister, a BFF, or fellow Christian. Knowing that we will giggle in Heaven together makes this world okay. 


Oh, and she showered me with a completely new wardrobe!



Of course hubby and I had many many special visits, appointments, sharing the E.C.C. story and the joys of living in Inwood. In fact 1/17 happen to have a shared highlight, but that's another posting.

This Just In--

It was a very good night...

 Eyslyn Hunte and me. And thanks for the picture Hae Sung!



Did You Know???

That roaches can fly?

Those that formerly enjoyed the hospitality of our front room failed to ask our permission to move-in. They earned airline miles directly into the trash can.

Some roach facts I already knew, like the females were pregnant for life. No fact sheet needs to tell anyone that. Or that they wear they're skeletons outside of their bodies, ho hum.

Interesting face that I did not know or  really care about is that their blood is white. Okay, that explains why there is no red when they are deservedly removed. Um, are you beginning to see how I feel about these creatures?

I realize that they are God's making, yet there are 5,000 species. And there is only one human species. (Really, again that fact sheet--5,000.) Give me a few spiders and I can deal with it. If you have seen the rats here, then you would call the humane society--for your own protection. Mice? No problem as yet here, but the 58 and counting in the 1st floor apartment has me wondering why she has dogs instead of cats...

Did I tell you that every squirrel that I've seen is either black or deep chocolate?

Living in NYC has its own set of tiny creatures who love and are devoted to being with you. None of whom you are prepared to welcome into your precious food and water supply much share the 1,000 year old plumbing and beautiful architecture.

But it is all worth every antenna and whisker to share God's inner peace with a stressed-out professional. Amazing talent is all around us here and each are striving to use that talent to the best of their ability. The pressure they put upon themselves is overwhelming. We are so glad to be here, share and pray that God's Spirit indwell each one.
