We had the opportunity to visit him two years ago when we were in England and enjoyed the visit with a relative whom I've never met. Uncle Jim is retiring now, selling his Dyno-Lock and Dyno Rod companies, but staying very active in the London business scene.

I can't tell you how much we appreciate your prayers for Jill. She will be seeing a specialist today; in fact, she'll be making three visits to find some specific answers about her collapse on Sunday and her continuing physical decrease. Discouragement is the biggest enemy right now, but even as the enemy tries to frustrate us, I keep seeing more and more answers in ministry come our way. There have been great joys in watching young people take a serious step toward serving the Lord at CAK and the chapel messages by Dave Park of His Passion Ministries seemt o be getting more and more strong. The battle is before us, and I don't want to back off.

I find it almost incredible the lengths that people will go to make a name for themselves without so much as a thought about eternity. Matthew's words come to mind: "What good is it if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?" How can people be so short-sighted? I recall a man standing face-t-face with me and telling me that the most important thing in his life for his son was to get him a sports scholarship. A sports scholarship is the most important thing in his son's life? Through the years I've heard people obsessing about money, fame, career, and other mundane pursuits...and Heaven is nowhere to be found.
For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.
