The mountains, the weather....

"Lift thine eyes. Oh lift thine eyes. To the mountains, where my help comes..."
Have always loved that psalm....and it's more true here, as we work in the Alps. Oddly enough, apparently the Slovenes don't appreciate those mountains as much--until maybe now. Those Alps are on the northern part of the country, and they feel closed in, clostrophobic...sort of oppressed....as they used to represent feeling trapped here (North is Austria...where there was a little more freedom...). So, when you see any mountains, pray for the Slovenes who still feel a bit trapped spiritually... Pray for their freedom through Christ!
Meanwhile, someone is praying for weather conducive for conversations: No rain, no humidity, blue skies. Lori Jackson says it's normally very humid & thunderstorms in the evenings. Hasn't happened. And if it did? Not so many sports for these boys. No evening activities outside. Thank you prayer warriors. Keep it up on the weather/conversation prayers!!!!
In 1 1/2 hours, Lori speaks about Ruth--and leaving old beliefs behind to seek truth. Pray for good conversations!
Sorry to my GHS friends: The popular t-shirt here is from Barlow. It was hard to convince girls that gophers were "mighty" :)

  1. Hurray for the good weather conditions. I'm looking at my Tucson mountains and praying for your gang.
