A New Season

Well, I asked the Lord ...now that I am 60 what shall I do? His answer...Laugh in its face!
Now that was quite an answer ...how exactly do I do that? As I was looking for some pictures to post I came upon the answer.It was of me making a toast with a cup of hot cocao w/chili pepper. It seemed to jump out at me and say,Here's to " Life" sweet ,with a dash, of pepper! Celebrate it,cherish it, embrace it and offer up praise!
So now I go about my days, looking for the sweetness,to give or embrace .And the Spice of life, sometimes a little Hot,intense ,but brings  the opportunities to Praise Him for the life that he gives to us!

Some very Special Travelers

Chris and Carrie are on their way to California. They just so happen to stop and do some rock climbing while going through AL. Enter,Beau Armistead and friends and a perfect ingredient for Divine Appt. Beau invited them to stop in for a visit @ Nomads Land.
We learned that Chris and Carrie are " Soccer Evangelist ". They both play soccer and use the sport to open doors to share the gospel.
They hope to link up w/South American Missions and head to Brazil next year. Carrie is fluent in Portuguese and has visited Brazil many times for months at a time. They hope to raise support so they can be on the mission fields in Brazil for a 2-3 year stay.
They hope to reach out to kids and villages through out South America one game at a time.

Blessings and safe travels to a couple of Global Nomads,Chris and Carrie Himes.

New Years Makeover

I awoke in the middle of the night and decided to chat little w/the Lord before going back to bed.I was inquiring what this New Year would bring." Well Lord,its been a good year and you have done amazing things,but at the same time the process has been pretty rough" Should I gird myself for another like year?Not really expecting a reply,as my mind went back over some of the tough experiences ,I received this amazing download. I saw in each situation how Gods hand had protected me and had
brought me through with victory.I sat amazed as I ,the heard these words...the graveclothes of the past years experience are slipping off as you enter this New Year.You shall be clothed in Glory and Grace.The scales of the old man has come under the exfoliating work of the Spirit. The Dew of Heaven shall not only cling,but soak into the open clean fresh pores of your body,soul and spirit.As obedience and faith was used as a pumice stone so now will hope,expectancy, goodness and mercy be your adornments.
So my lovley ones come step into this New Year w/you me and receive your "New" makeover.
