Brazil - Things I did

Ate chicken heart. Been there done that! 

Helped paint the wall for a new church plant 

Spent time in Brazilian traffic

And more traffic

 Distributed John and Romans Door to Door. 

(more like gate to gate) 

 Ate Brazilian Mcdonalds, that was important :)

Helped with a youth rally

 Visitited an orphange 

Passed out tracts to this crowd leaving a Soccer (Football) Game

First, glimpse after a breathtaking, rollercoaster inspiring ride up the mountain

It looks bigger on TV

 It is still farely tall!

Hymn - Love Divine

Love Divine

Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven to earth come down;
Fix in us thy humble dwelling;
All thy faithful mercies crown!
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation;
Enter every trembling heart.

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit,
Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in Thee inherit;
Let us find that second rest.
Take away our bent to sinning;
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its Beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.

Come, Almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Suddenly return and never,
Never more Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.

Finish, then, Thy new creation;
Pure and spotless let us be.
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee;
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Hurricane Matthew - The Result

 I went out during a calmer part of the storm to retrieve a bucket before it banged into something. Plus, I wanted to try out my rain jacket! :)

 This is a common sight along the east coast as well as inland areas.

Many old and weak trees were blown over or broken in half by Matthew. Many fences and roofs are also in need of repair. But this storm was certainly not as bad as the hurricanes that hit Florida in 2004!

Hymn - Lead Me to Calvary

Lead Me to Calvary

King of my life, I crown Thee now,
Thine shall the glory be;
Lest I forget Thy thorn crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.

Refrain

Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thine agony;
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.

Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.

Refrain

Let me like Mary, through the gloom,
Come with a gift to Thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb,
Lead me to Calvary.

Refrain

May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for Thee;
Even Thy cup of grief to share,
Thou hast borne all for me.

Refrain

Hurricane Matthew - the lead up

 The last time I saw store shelves this empty was is 2004, when Charley, Francis and Jeanne came to visit Florida.

            This was the sky this morning!
