175 Steps

Part of the Tiger Sanctuary was a 1000 year old fort. Very very cool.

However, you had to climb 175 steps to get to it. Some of us were up for it. I did so while carrying G. in a sling.

The Steps.

Cool Archaeological stuff for the cool Archaeologist in me.
Ooooow.
OK, in this small format you cannot read this sign, but it basically says that this is a Protected Monument so don't deface it.

The Beginning

While Dad and Em were here we took a 4 day vacation to Ranthambhore, Rajasthan to visit a Tiger Sanctuary. Here are the end of the beginning of the pictures.

G.'s first time swimming.

Cute Cousins!

Covering

Sometimes there are passages of Scripture that just dwell with me. It doesn't happen all the time but I really do enjoy it when it does.

Over the last few days these two passages have just - covered me.

Psalm 24
7 "Lift up your heads, O you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty—
he is the King of glory.
Selah"


Zephaniah 3:17
17 "The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."

Since the start of school we have had some troubles, normal beginning of the year stuff, but troubling noentheless. God's people are praying, I can feel it.

The School Picture IS UP

This is a picture of our school at present. The rooms on the 3rd Floor right side are currently occupied by students although the electrical work is not done. The rooms on the 3rd floor left are just walls that need a roof before the monsoons start in earnest.

Please pray.

No School

I was supposed to put a current picture of our school up here tonight, but first our electricity went out and now pictures won't attach.

I'll try again tomorrow.

Sorry.

The Man Can't Preach...

...Without the finger.

I take it as a good sign that after 7+ years of marriage I still find O.'s idiosyncrasies highly amusing.

It's That Time Of Year Again

Today was E. & C.'s first day of school. This is exciting for me but nerve racking as well. They've missed about 3 months of school. Not only that, they've missed the 1st 5 weeks of the new year.

Please pray for them to catch up. Thanks!

Cute, first day of school pix:

E. (in the green) started 1st grade today and is in the school with the big kids now (1st to 10th grade). C. remains in the preschool section. She is in Lower Kindergarten.
