cruise

Friday, January 16th, 2009

We took a cruise on the Norwegian SKY with my sister-in-law and husband, Becky and Jeff Karber.  It was a short cruise, just from Miami to the Bahamas, but I really enjoyed it.

It started and ended in beautiful Miami.  The cruise food was unbelievable, they had over half a dozen restaurants and buffets, even Indian food.  Every evening we’d dine in a nice restaurant, then lounge around the decks, play basketball, watch people dance and karaoke, then take a late night tip in the hottub before bed.

We spent the second day in the Bahamas.  It reminded me of India because of the small shops and the open market.  There were even animals in the street.  Beside shopping, we visited a pirate museum.

Our third day was spent on a private NCL beach.  It was so beautiful.  The water was a little cold but it was still fun.  Becky spent time trying to tan so that she’d become darker while I tried to not become darker.

We want to go on a cruise again sometime.  I think Kenny just wants to go for the food.

Visit with Dr. M.A. Thomas

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

I visited Doctor M.A. Thomas in the hospital.  He was seriously ill but by the grace of God he has started to recover.  When I entered his room  and tried to talk to him but he started to cry.   I spent a night with him in the hospital and I  spoken Hindi with him.   We were all joking and he was laughing.  Although he could not yet speak, he communicate to us with his laughter and nodding.

I would why God did this to him?  He shares the gospel with people everywhere he goes.   He has saved my lives, why did God shut his mouth?  The Bible say trust in the Lord with all our heart.  The almighty God is the Healer.  The orphans are praying and fasting for him.  I believe that God can do a miracle, but in all things we will give glory to God as it is His plan and His purpose.

Whenever I call to India everybody asks me about him and how he is doing.   Maryrose, and orphan girl, said that they missed him at Christmas this year.  Paul Soren  painted the Christmas card and all of the orphans wrote messages on it.  They sent the card with Priscilla to say how much they love and miss him and that they are praying for him.
