So many of Rivers of the World’s (ROW) faithful followers have been extremely kind recently and I want to thank all of you. We have been overwhelmed by expressions of love, prayer and concern for my wife, Mickie, who was recently diagnosed with cancer.

On my recent trip to Nicaragua the carburetor on the boat we were riding in fell apart. To make matters worse, after we fixed that problem we then ran out of fuel. So here we are stuck on the Kukra River in the deep jungles of Nicaragua, it is getting dark and the animals are now coming to life. It quickly became time to figure out how to get out of that predicament.

Many Christians I am sure have heard the term, “We’re going to lift you up in prayer.” I have to admit that this is one of those expressions that I have never really examined or even thought much about.

If you sat down today to write in your journal, what would you write about the days in which we live? Barbecues will be firing up, friends and family will be gathering and fireworks will light up the skies as this nation soon celebrates the Fourth of July.

You might not believe this but I am now up to 127 bug bites! I got each one of those bites while I was in Monkey Point, Nicaragua recently. I am just scratching myself like crazy, but, I am used to it!

Distressing news about a friend is much more difficult to accept when you have a long history with that friend. For years you have heard me talk about my friend, former General Adolphe Onusumba, who was one of the rebel leaders in the recent civil war in the Congo. We were friends throughout the civil war.

Oh, you will get a kick out of this! I just looked at my calendar and I realized that during the next two weeks I have appointments to see three different physicians. As if that isn’t enough, I also have an appointment with a dentist.

Today is Dec. 17, 2008. There is no need to adjust your watch or change your calendar. I know it is only February, but, today, we are going to look back over the year 2008. We are going to examine all of the things that we accomplished and all those things that we left undone.
