saturday a party

hey it's saturday! i'm having a great day, are you? i hope you are. you should be having sweet dreams actually right now as i type this. we've been doing some reading and laundry. actually, i've been listening to you! yeah for real, we decided to try to use the internet to hear the radio back home. we got on ksbj houston. it was awesome. i heard them say their little jingle, "ksbj houston." i loved it and was smiling. if i can hear it in thailand, i figured the soldiers in iraq can hear from back home too. that comforted me for them.

julie and i had lunch with jerry and somehow conversation started spinning and we ended up hearing jerry's testimony. it was truly awesome and special. everyone has an amazing story in life that can be used even if that person thinks it is mistake made in life. i fully believe blessings will come from any of those and "there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." thank you Lord. wow. we talked about the new pope elected. i guess they went with the one who's in his 70's? a lot of history has been made while we have been here with the pope and the prince charles's wedding. hmm, i'm glad we've been able to see some of it on satellite.

so, our big plan for the day off is to go to Nan, an hour away and stop by Lotus (the WalMart store) and then go to someone's party that everyone on the grounds has been invited to. hey, if i can go to a funeral of someone i don't know, i can for sure go to a party of someone i don't know. i'll fill you in later.
