AUGUST 14, 1980, I MARKED THIS IN MY BIBLE.
IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE REALITY VERSES.
I KNOW THE TRUTH OF IT IN OUR EVERYDAY WORLD,
AND I KNOW THE TRUTH FOR ETERNITY.
I'LL FOCUS ON HIM, TRUST HIM,
AND WILL NOT STOP
ACKNOWLEDGING AND MENTIONING
HIS NAME ONLY!
IN EARLY MAY, 1995, DAVE AND I WERE IN ENGLAND ON OUR WAY HOME FROM UGANDA. OUR BRIT FRIEND, HELEN, A YOUNG LADY WHO HAD BEEN A SHORT-TERM MISSIONARY AT THE NEW HOPE UGANDA ORPHANAGE WHERE WE REGULARLY VISITED AND WORKED, SHE STAYED AT OUR HOUSE NEAR KAMPALA A FEW TIMES. WHEN WE REACHED HEATHROW AIRPORT, SHE PICKED US UP AND, AFTER SLEEPING AT HER PARENT'S HOME, SHE TOOK US AROUND AND ABOUT FOR OVER A WEEK. WE SPENT A DAY IN CANTERBURY AREA AND SAW MUCH FROM THE PAST CENTURIES.
IT WAS A REAL TREAT! MUCH TIME IN AREAS OF
LONDON, DOVER, CANTERBURY, AND BASINGSTOKE.
DAVE AND I WERE BOTH ADJUSTING TO WHAT WE WERE DEALING WITH RE: MALARIA. WE BOTH HAD IT A WEEK BEFORE LEAVING UGANDA. WHEN WE REACHED ENGLAND, WE HAD A GOOD TIME, BUT OUR VARIOUS PHYSICAL ISSUES -- HEADACHES, EXHAUSTION, NAUSIA, AND MANY MORE -- SOMETIMES INTERFERED WITH THE ENORMOUS FUN WE COULD HAVE HAD CONTINUALLY.
BUT GOD GAVE US A GREAT TIME.

When I read this verse I always think about the other masters that used to rule in my life before Jesus set me free!
