THE UPPER ROOM

THE UPPER ROOM

I wait and watch the progress, that soon will be my “Home”.

The name I chose was UPPER ROOM, just one to call my own.

The roof is partly covered now, the house is shaping up..

I’m getting really anxious, but the wait sometimes is tough.

The finance’s are unstable, sometimes its really thin..

God knows my situation though, and speaks to hearts of men.

In all these years He’s never failed me, not ever, not one time.

He says to me “Don’t worry, I care for what is mine”.

He’s blessed me with these children, to Love, to Care and Feed..

He knows I can’t desert them, so he meets every need…

and on their precious faces, the words He spoke, I see..

“If you’ve done unto one of these, you’ve done it unto me”.

So when my house is finished and I am finally there..

My Upper Room I will anoint, and bow my knees in prayer,

And Thank him for His Mercy, and Blessings he has shown..

and do my best until he takes me, to my final home.

I know it’s temporary, it’s only for awhile..

I only pray that he will say someday “Well done my child”.

And I can look into God’s face and see that he is pleased..

that I had ran this race for him, and managed to succeed.

NOTE: This poem was written by a lady who saw my blog.

I thought it was so nice I had to share it.

There is dumb and there is dumb.

This picture was too much and I just had to share it with everyone. Didn't anyone tell the guy he was to back the boat in to launch it? No, what they told him was

Think about it.

"If you choke a Smurf, what color does he turn.?

Have you heard?

"Energizer Bunny arrested and charged with battery."

Sleeping Outside

Some are still sleeping outside because here these many months later we are still having aftershocks. One of 4.5 was recorded in Port au Prince recently. I am going to be adding to my blog more in the future as I have been letting down since the earthquake.

Mark Allen Vinelon

I am happy to announce an answer to prayer. For some years now I have been praying that God would provide someone who could come in and take up the work load that Poppy and myself cannot do anymore. I had hoped that that person would be Mark Allen. He was working in Port au Prince and his wife Cynthia was working at a local Bank there so it didn't look like that was going to happen. The earthquake changed all that. The Bank where Cynthia was working was damaged so badly that they couldn't operate. They came down after the quake and God began to deal with them about working here. Now that decision has been made and I am thrilled beyond words. I will be 73 in May and one never knows what the future holds. I shall be working with Mark and now should something happen to me I know he will be able to continue to do the work here for years to come. Remember him in your prayers.

N.Y. Times Reports

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Along the capital’s main commercial strip dozens of armed men some wielding machetes, others with sharpened pieces of wood — dodged from storefront to storefront, battering down doors and hauling away whatever they could carry: shoes, luggage, rolls of carpet. There were also reports of attacks on aid deliveries. Fred Lavaud, who works on the security detail of Haiti’s president, René Préval, described scenes of women who were assaulted after receiving food. “The problem is there’s no control,” he said. “And people are desperate.” Note: Fred is the husband of Yolande who is one of our girls.
