Yesterday was my birthday; I was just going to have a nice, quiet day…but the children here at our Children's Home had "lots of plans" in the making!! Ha! They came to my door at 5:30 am and played the most beautiful birthday music. I just stood there and started crying. We love these children...
"Too Busy to be Still?" I guess we all have, at one time or another, used the words, "I'm busy for God… I'm doing this or I'm doing that. I’m so busy I can't catch my breath." We have all learned how to "work hard and stay busy for the Lord," but, have we learned how to...
It seems like yesterday that his father brought him from a long way to our Mobile Clinic, deep in the mountains of Covant, Haiti. Thinking he was just a couple of years old, I asked his father, “how old he was?” “Seven,” he replied. I was in shock. His skin was splitting open on his legs...

We just can’t believe that Samuel, Ada, Daniel, Yolanda, and Christian will be graduating from jr. high and moving up to high school!
