Lima, Conce, and Becks

This morning I learned of the earthquake that hit Peru last night. My heart hurts for my brothers and sisters, in and out of Christ, whom have been affected by this tragedy. Only days ago some of my closest friends were in Peru not far from the epicenter of this seven-point-niner. I know that they particularly must be burnedened for those affected.

To read about the hundreds in churches in that region whom's bodies lay covered by the rubel of the church building that they gathered in last night, my heart grieves. However, for their faithfulness I am encouraged and prayerful that their souls will now find rest from life's troubles. For their families that are left behind I remain prayerful that they will receive comfort and assistance so that their spirits will be lifted.

God, please, work good out of this tragedy.

Yesterday was a great day for our developing plans to live and work in South America. Concepcion, Chile is the city that we have selected, unless God turns us another direction. Yesterday we heard news of others interested in joining our team. I am so thankful for the way God is affirming our direction and the decisions we are prayerfully making.

Yesterday, David Beckham finally was healthy enough for his first start, his first goal, his first assist, and his first yellow card in the Galaxy's game versus D.C. United.

Pretty cool!
