Wonderful, wonderful trip to the USA from October 2 to November 15! More about that later in our monthly newsletter.

Suffice it to say, now we're getting back on track as we pick up where we left off.

* I just told Tim Hall I'm not sure if we got used to the cool weather there or if it's just plain hot. It generates a tortoise malaise. Makes me thankful for my little fan working away. Don't tell anybody I took off my shoes and socks in the office.

* Until year's end, I'll be speaking a good word in the Lord's name from the pulpit. (We've not finished class and preaching schedule plans for next year yet.) I've been asking for opinions on my nine ideas for a six-sermon series. Today's Decision Day!

* Vicki was shocked at the general rise in prices during our absence. She tells me some food products rose 100-200%. Not typical, but the election of the new socialist president may have something to do with it.

* Keep Wilson and family in your prayers: after a brief, unhappy experience, he is still unemployed after some 8 months. He and Bete have four children.

* I mentioned Tim Hall. He's Forthright Magazine's newest columnist. Does a great job on his weekly HEM-Lines. Check him out on both sites.

Oops! I exceeded my word limit for this week. Pare me down next time. Until then, keep praying for us. We give thanks to God for you.

Blessings,

Randal
