Lulu

Lulu gave birth to a still-undetermined number of kittens this evening. The young mother is currently resting comfortably on top of my only black sweater. Jaynie was able to experience the miracle of new life up close and personal. How great is our God!

Hard to describe...

As you may or may not have heard, 1 month ago today the violence raging in certain parts of MX came close to us once again. You know, I never ever thought that living outside of a peaceful little town in the Sierra Tarahumara I would learn to recognize automatic weapon fire. BUT, I can now tell the difference between firecrackers and machine gun fire. A friend sent me the following link that shows the highlights of the most recent violence here. The accompanying article is not accurate with regards to the number of people killed, who they were, and where they were killed. Nevertheless, the video is astounding - it really was to me at least! Keep in mind that on the rocks (about 50 yds from my kitchen window) you can see the security camera that recorded these events. How great is our God and how wonderful it is to know, and I mean know with all certainty, that our lives are in His hands!
