Today.......and Tomorrow

The song going through my head tonight is, "Because He Lives." Thursday we were "staring down the barrel" at what was expected to be Hurricane Thomas. While we received a lot of rain and some of southern Haiti had flooding and wind damage, it was not nearly as destructive as predicted.
Yesterday (Saturday) was a quiet day as we wished my dad and neighbor kid, Zach, a happy birthday.
Today has been a rollercoaster, full of highs and lows. My good friend and neighbor Julie had a birthday today. :) A friend of Megan's found out she had lice as they were leaving for Sunday School. :( The singing at church was amazing today. When we got home, we got an email about a fellow MAF pilot in another country that we had met during eval/training who was killed in a surfing accident (HUGE blow). Please pray for his sweet wife and little son as they "face tomorrow". They celebrated their 5th anniversary about a month ago, so I know this is going to be tough. Yet, I know He holds the future, and "this child can face uncertain days because He lives." I am thankful for Immanuel, God with us, in both the especially joyous times as well as those when we feel we cannot go another step.
