We live in an uncertain world. We do not know what tomorrow may bring. One thing I do know, we stand upon the word of God! “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1: 7 Bobby Burnette
This sweet young lady is the sister of George. George was the baby of a poor woman who wanted to give him away because she had too many children. After she had George, she had Stephanie, but by then, her health was failing, and she died. So, we took Stephanie in. Stephanie is sweet, but...

A Good Name and Loving Favor... When Bobby and I moved to Haiti more than 30 years ago, we had a hard time. We were very poor, we had a pickup truck that was always breaking down and costing us a lot of money. But, we did our best. We had a wonderful Haitian mechanic named "Nelio." He...
