HE MULTIPLIED BLESSINGS TO US...

"WATERHOLE" KIDS.

EXPECT THEY ARE ALL SIGNIFICANTLY

"WATERHOLE" PARENTS NOW.

DIFFERENT WORLD FOR THEM.

DRINKING WATER AT HOUSES WAS NOT 

THE SAFEST THING WE COULD DO.  

THEY MADE IT, THOUGH.

THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY

THIS IS SO TRUE.

AND WE MUST FOCUS ON HIS POWER.

WALK WISELY!!!

OUR LORD DID MAKE THE EARTH!

 

HEAL ME, SAVE ME...& I PRAISE HIM.

SPIRITUAL CHILDREN...

 [IN 1970 I MARKED THIS VERSE IN MY BIBLE.  
IT HAS BEEN VERY SPECIAL TO ME FOR ALL THESE YEARS.]
TWO YEARS EARLIER, DECEMBER, 1994, SAM BECAME OUR SPIRITUAL SON WHEN WE WERE IN UGANDA.

  WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE U.S., HE AMAZINGLY RECEIVED A VISA AND HE LIVED WITH US 

HERE IN OMAHA FOR 2-1/2 YEARS; AND WE PUT HIM THROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN DURING HIS FIRST TIME IN THE 

TWIN CITIES AREA, [FALL, 1996]

AND HE SURE LOVED WHOLE TWIN CITIES AREA AND THEN OUTSIDE THE AREA A BIT, SEEING THE ROCKINESS AND THE RIVER.  IT WAS A TREAT.  HE WAS HAPPY AND WE WERE HAPPY FOR HIM.

 

AND THEN, DAVE AND I WERE BLESSED TO BE IN UGANDA  FOR HIS WEDDING IN '99, AND, WHEN I WAS THERE TO BE INVOLVED IN SOROTI INVASION BY LRA IN '03/'04, IT WAS A BLESSING TO SEE THEM AND MEET MY GRANDDAUGHTER, STELLA.

THEN, THE SUMMER OF '08, THEY WERE SENT TO THE STATES FOR A SPECIAL EVENT, IN INDIANA, AND THEY SPENT SOME TIME WITH US HERE IN OMAHA.  SO THIS IS THE LAST FAMILY PHOTO WE HAVE, BUT THEY STILL ARE OUR FAMILY.  NO QUESTION CAN BE ASKED WHETHER THEY ARE TRULY FAMILY, AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED. 
TO    US   THEY    ARE!

WE MISS THEM AND SO MANY OF 

OUR FRIENDS AND "FAMILY" IN UGANDA.
 

  

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...

ON OUR WAY HOME FROM UGANDA IN '95

WE WERE IN ENGLAND WITH A FRIEND,

AND WE WERE TAKEN

INTO LONDON FOR THIS AMAZING EVENT.

IT WAS IN EARLY MAY, 1995, THAT THE HUGE PARTY

WAS TAKING PLACE.

50 YEARS AT THE END OF WWII.

MANY PEOPLE FROM MANY NATIONS WERE AT THE PARK,

AND DANCING AND REJOICING TOOK PLACE.

AND THIS WAS A REJOICING PIECE, TOO...

 WE WERE BLESSED!!
