Lots to share.....................

first off I wanted to update about the family who was in the wreck...good news as far as Donna goes....she is responding some to what people say to her like to squeeze the person's hand or open her eyes so that is good news....the young boy is feeling somewhat better both of his lungs are inflated now and he feels good enough to play some video games. i think it is hard for him being in a city where they are not from and all 3 people are in different hospitals so visitors and his dad have to go to all 3 hospitals so i guess i would like to pray that people visit him and stay awhile since his mom is not able nor one of his sisters and his dad. my friend eleanore who is friends with them is going up every weekend to visit them all...the young woman who lost her baby is having a rough time with some of the people on her floor are having babies and she can hear them cry as she is grieving the loss of her baby. thanks for everyone who is praying and please continue...i told eleanore to tell the dad that people all over are praying for them.

2sunset mentioned tony campolo wondering if he was mentioned at the revival and he was not yet i know he does some really great things...........two of them stick out in my mind...he loving woman who most people think of being outcasts and such. i am talking about prostitues. one day he went into a bar to meet people and hang out. one woman who was an often customer was talking about her birthday the next day and tony asked her what she was going to do and she said nothing and he said aren't you having a party and she said no she even as a child never had a party so after she left tony asked the bartender to find out who she knew and such and decided to give this woman a party on her birthday and so bought balloons and a cake and such and one of the other prostitutes made sure she would be there and she walked in to her first party ever! she was so exited and happy and amazed that this man would give her a party and that tony did not want anything in return. i would like to be as loving as tony is to people..........
the other story i know about is when he was in asian country known for child prostitution and how many children are abused and used and such at very very young ages....well he saw two young children who were asking him what he wanted....and such...he thought for awhile and then arranged with the pimp to have the children for all night at his hotel room. he told them when to be at his room....he went to the motel and asked to borrow any of the disney movies that they had and told the room service he wanted them to prepare food that kids really liked so....it got to me time and the two sisters came to his door and he welcomed them in and when they asked what he wanted them to do he said i want you to have a night to be kids and get to play and such. they did not believe him at first but then relaxed and had lots of ice cream and i think pizza and watched movies and laughted like kids should and then when it got late they asked him again what he wanted then and he said for you two to have a good nights sleep and they did and they had a wonderful evening being kids and how one person cannot change the horror of human trafficing but he took the time to help the girls have a little joy and happiness and fun for one night...i am sure that is something that the girls will not forget....i want to be more like him...i think for sure these are things that jesus would do when he walked this earth and want for those of us who believe in him to do. ....agree? well it is later than i thought so will write more later after group.

Good to hear about the family but the young girl losing her baby is very sad.

We all hopefully strive to touch other peoples lives as Jesus did.

Hope all is well.

I'm glad the family is doing better. I think the young woman who lost her baby will have a long road of healing ahead of her. The physical is nothing. The spiritual and mental healing is what is so important for her. We'll keep praying!
