It's Friday.

And I'm glad. :o) Don't get me wrong -- I LOVE my job! In a big way, it's a dream come true.

But I do also so much look forward to weekends and the chance to relax, catch up on stuff around the apartment, etc. For one thing, I have a stack of newsletters I need to get ready for supporters. :o) Usually I'm able to work on that during the week, but this week has been loaded with projects. That's a good thing, though -- I like projects. :oD

It was really cool to see how the Lord went before me the other night on one. He reminded me of Gretcha and how she would be great to write about for this church-planting article. This morning some supporters had just gotten back from the field and were sharing with our staff.

One related the spiritual darkness there. They told of stepping off the airplane and seeing the rows of men lined up to give rides. They could totally see the emptiness and darkness in their eyes. In contrast, at the very end of the line were some GFA leaders. Their faces were radiant with the love of Jesus. What a privilege that we can be a part of bringing that love to people like Gretcha. She lives in poverty but yet is so joyful because of Jesus! Yet there are still so many to be reached.

Well, I'm going home soon. Have a blessed weekend!
