This has to be one of the best emails i have ever recieved

Hi Charlie

I was almost in tears tonight just realizing how special our boys are. I had put the boys to sleep in their beds and Seth was crying. Joel comforted Seth, was holding his hands and was telling him not to worry or cry and that the sun will be up in 5 minutes. I sat listening to them with my ear against the door. Joel got out of his bed and lay with Seth in his bed.


Joel also said to Seth that maybe daddy will give mommy a big spanky. I think it is important for us to allow this to happen, our boys have bonded so. We shouldn't scold Joel for lying with Seth; I think it is adorable and wonderful. When I got home today Seth couldn't get to Joel soon enough, Seth hugged Joel through the gate and showed extreme excitement to see him.
Seth didn't even bother to see me just his brother. That was so nice to see.
Hanging in London

Im spending time in London with some friends, we are gathering to discuss how research has impacted the Dawn movement and how we can work together to effectively implement research strategies that will move the church forward in a SCP focus. Research has the Nehemiah effect that touches the hearts of the leaders and moves them to action.

We have been discussing research models from Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Arab World, and a report from World Map.

Hanging with the family:

We recently spent some time with the family Richards Bay on the East coast of South Africa. Spending time with family is always a blessing, my kids love to go visit Ouma (granny). I read the book “When Heaven is Silent” it was a refreshingly thought provoking book, I am always attracted to authors who have lived it and share from a heart of experience.

I find myself on this life journey and its like I find these road signs along the road that help me to think through some of the obstacles I am facing
