Benito

Benito was just getting up from a nap when I came by yesterday afternoon. This is the closest thing to a smile he could muster.

MarcKenson

MarcKenson is one of our junior leaders, a bridge between the staff and the boys. An above-average student, he is a Senior Altar Server, sings in the group called Easy Cross and is darn good in soccer.

Foot care

Willem ripped his toenail pretty badly while playing. He came limping to the Guest House for some TLC, a bandage and a cookie. Linda and Claire rose to the occasion-- actually, as you can see in the photo, they lowered themselves to the occasion.

Sermon's essence

"I will do more than belong, I will participate. I will do more than care, I will help. I will do more than believe, I will practice. I will do more than be fair, I will be kind. I will do more than be friendly, I will be a friend. I will do more than forgive, I will love." Author Unknown

My sermon for tomorrow morning is based on the above quote which I found while searching the web. Thought you might appreciate it.

Plumbers

Jeannot and Lifaite, two of my older boys, are in training to become plumbers. They came to my place yesterday to fix a leak in my kitchen sink. The musty smell is almost gone. Thanks, guys.

Gift

These two papaya trees come from wayward seeds. They took hold and look at 'em now. Biblical?
