It means more than any of us will ever know, I expect, until we are sitting at the feet of our Heavenly Father and talking with Him there. Here’s our prayer needs [...]

Tom here – no I don’t have any additional information on Frantina’s medical condition but I wanted to let you know of a couple of “updates” to the overall situation: It’s a national holiday in the Dominican Republic so the hospitals are closed today (well, the doctor’s offices).

Well, except for not being able to speak even basic Spanish, I kind of think I like the Dominican Republic!
