We had a visitor from THP (who once was our computer thief). He enjoyed eating out with us, and marveling at the scrapbook the Athol church made us (I have a feeling scrapbooking is going to make a big debut in this country judging by this one's reception !) Next day found him at West Lake with another friend from THP, John, plus Andy, Gene, and a couple of others. A "junior moment" is pictured, in case you wonder what went on besides little Gene losing his bus card with a thousand yuan in it.
We've been enjoying a huge box of yacon, given by a brother. This fruit is grown underground, and reminds one a bit of sugarcane!
On my mind has been the great choice of every life: between serving self and serving God, between self-centeredness and God-centeredness. Ostensibly serving God may mean self-deception, but the good news is we can have "Truth in the inward parts". I was reading from an old writer, "Be killing sin, or sin will be killing you." We overcome through the Overcoming Lamb, and dare not give in and give up in these days of intense conflict.

Thank you for this very encouraging post. It was just what I needed to hear at this moment...... :)
It is always encouraging to get feedback, to know someone is on the other end of the line, so to speak, and also battling to keep their eyes off the waves and on the Goal!
