Adequate Advocate

This year’s Bolga Men's Meeting started special! We (the boys and I )  geared up to leave around 5 am with a number of men from the church. We got to ride in the new mission van. We took off around 6 am and didn’t have any car trouble!!! It drove smoothly and the air conditioning worked perfectly which was great cause temps were over 100 degrees.  We were running a bit late so Grandpa helped us make up for lost time. 😅 There weren’t as many people this year (it’s not an easy camp) but the fellowship was sweet as usual! There was great preaching and encouragement.  The theme was “Now”- Man is like a mere breath; His days are like a passing shadow.(Psalms 144:4) It was great for us all to put things in proper perspectives stripped away from the comforts of our home and familiar surroundings. We are truly on this earth a short time preparing for our eternity. I praise God for the opportunity to share with the brethren and also to be encouraged by the other message...

It has been hard to figure out what to share of the events of the past two weeks.  It has been a tough time...but God is seeing us through.  We praise Him in all things and persevere; but it has been emotionally raw as we had "situations" and incidences to deal with concerning Matthew's mom and his well-being.  We can't help but be emotionally very invested in this sweet five year old after the course of his life has intertwined with ours for the last three years and we care about his mom, too.  She was not in a good state mentally and kept causing trouble at the school.  It came down to her removing all his clothing in the classroom and trying to walk him out of school completely naked.  *Gasp!*  Not good.  So we wouldn't let her do that and had to call in her brother and mother and took him home with us for a week while waiting for them to help with a solution.  We are thankful he could spend time with us and enjoy a carefree time until hi...
