Too Funny!

Judah is our bundle of mischief. Here's some of his antics.

Our cat, Braveheart, actually sat there and took the examination Judah gave him with his doctor kit. He received a blood pressure cuff around the neck and his middle, an injection with a toy drill in his heiny, an ear inspection with the flash light and a temperature reading under the "leg pit." Judah declares him healthy. I declare him insane for ever adopting us as his family!

One day I went in the bathroom to find Judah and Chloe playing in the tub! Judah said "she wanted to."



Judah wanted to be a super hero one day. Lauren, Dean and Adrianna dressed him up as "Underwear Man" and he thought it was so funny.

I was out walking our small pooch the other evening. It had been a hectic day for David. The plane that was due for a routine inspection had come in late so the inspection didn't start til about 11 am. They were well into it when David took a call for an emergency flight. A little girl had been impaled by a tree branch. We didn't know how bad the emergency was or the size of the branch but nonetheless this was an emergency. David went to his boss and asked," how late can you leave out of here and still get back before sunset?" Craig told him he would have to leave by 4:30 to be back by 5:45. David's response..."I will do everything in my power to get this plane put back together by 4:30!" Time was not on David's side but this little one needed help. We couldn't use the float plane for this location and the other land plane is in pieces.
So as I'm out walking our small little pooch, first I hear the plane coming, then I see it circling overhead for his approach to land. I shake my head in wonder that it's up there flying at all and even now tears come to my eyes. It's why we are here. One day it's a little girl with a stick broke off in her stomach, another day we are flying missionaries to their tribal work location, another day we are bringing in national pastors for training, and the list goes on and on. We are here to help. That day we made a difference in this little girl's life. How? David got the plane airworthy in order to meet the emergency.I watched the plane til it went from my view but I can still hear the planes taxi in to our hanger. I know our team of aviation guys succeeded today and David was a part of it. He's not on the front lines but his job as a mechanic today was God's perfect place for him. And it made me proud to hear Craig telling our Peruvian friends later that night how David had "whipped that plane together" so he could fly by 4:30...

I pray for this little girl. She had surgery that night. The stick was not that big in diameter but it had broken off in her abdomen. Pray for healing for her.
