Steadfast
We finished the cleaning & organizing of my books. One team went out to a block party. We will be in Sylacauga, Al on Sunday, September 27th & are free to minister that evening. A person with a faithful heart is not double minded. He is steadfast,…
Faithful Heart 2
The biopsy on Karen's kidney was not difficult but we have to wait until Monday for the results. The team helped lean my bookshelves and rearrange thousands of books & hundreds of photographs. I gave our testimony to the 3 teams visiting this week. Not only is…
The Faithful heart
Karen had a kidney biopsy today to determine if the transplant is functioning. The Woodlands women prayed for Dottie & me & then gave us a beautiful embroidery of the prayer they prayed. A Guatemalan physician donated today and tomorrow to examine the younger children so that is a…
A Contented Heart
I had the necessary exams & all is well. The medicine in my system evidently is gone & I feel like a sprightly 60 year old. Thanks for praying for me. The lights went out last night when the "The Woodlands " team was ministering in the…
Contented heart
I felt so week this morning but what I had to teach was what I knew God wanted me to  do. So I shared first in Spanish with the children & then with the visitors in English in a second teaching. Returning to my house I immediately was…

Jumping the gun
Eric 1 and Midalis left Casa a few years ago, married & had 3 children. Today their 3 month old died. Pray for them. The physician told me that I have to cut my stress in half. I took a load when I said we would have the…
Heart
Dr Don Hines is here working with our nurses and especially with Josue' in Telemedicine. I am feeling better over the last few days since removing so much pain medication. Teams are working hard to get the new dorm prepared for visitors. The rains have been too often…
Luis
Jose’ did well in surgery & then we had another emergency and had to rush Luis, also in dialysis, to the hospital. Four hours later they said it was gastritis so we are relieved. A number of police came today & gave our kids a really informative demonstration…
I was humiliated
The court appearances humiliating. All I could think of was how Jesus stood before his accusers and opened not His mouth. How did He do such a thing? Keiser WILL HAVE the kidney transplant soon. Even wit Satan's attacks against Casa God blesses me beyond belief with Keiser's…
Hard work
The child, Jose, with Fancona anemia is having a blood transplant today and will have to take even more medication. Jose, dialysis, surgery was cancelled because his blood count is too low. He, too, will have a blood transfusion and surgery later. Marjorie came home from the hospital…
Tanya
Another of our daughters, Tanya, and her 4 children will arrive Monday evening. Dottie and I love having our kids & grandkids visit. Maybe it helps me to think that they understand why we have spent more time with the Guatemalan children f0r 27 years than with our…
Rest
There were no blockades this morning so Dottie and I were able to get back home without much trouble. Steve O. came to get the back hoe we were holding for him. Our boys, 98% of them at least, were cheering for Barcelona in the Champions League finals…
Blockades
45 minutes before Dottie & I were to leave the hotel Tim called to say highways were blocked. We turned on the news & the farmers have blocked all the entrances into Guatemala City & say it will last 12 - 18 hours. The entire nation seems…
Senior girls
I have felt so weak for over a week & with the financial cloud, the government foolishness, the difficulty of the transition, the dialysis children being so ill & having to return to court this coming Tuesday I decided to go have my medications checked. I was overdosing…
Endurance
The Huntsville team hosted a time of worship and performed 2 dramas for all of the older children. A 16 year old girl killed a cab driver as part of the initiation into a gang. She was recognized & then burned alive by her neighbors. Billy is doing…
Kindness
Our daughter, Crissy, along with Tim & Patty gifted Dottie and me with three nights in a very nice hotel. They are so kind and thoughtful & I hope to sleep most of that time. Crissy will stay with the children living in our house. The Huntsville team…
The New Month
Finished the financial report for the month of May & also the Guatemala monthly report. Seeing Crissy(daughter) and Ozzie(grandson) has made me feel so much better. There are so many attributes of Jesus that we should all try to emulate. Three of His many attributes that I…
Heavy prayer needed
Jessie's grandfather died last night so she is returning to the states for the funeral. The dialysis kids are under attack. Jose' has High Blood Pressure so the surgery is delayed. Wendy is having surgery today to move the catheter to another location. Marjorie is in constant back…
