Immuned...??? Breathe on Me Lord...

Friday was immunizations - Hep A/B, tetanus and a few others were back in '05 - Kenya warrants Yellow Fever and strangely enough - they suggest polio. So - I got 'em. I figure to live is Christ, to die is gain - but s'pose the "risk" of getting one of those isn't all that smart. Malaria pills are also part of the game...

Said I might feel a bit ill - it's Sunday and the "flu" feels as though it's creeping in.

Guess it's just the shots...

Breathe On Me. Thank you Todd - thank you God for instilling that in Todd's heart.

What a song - God of Power...God of Might - breathe on me! Forever...you are the the reason for living! Merciful Saviour unending!! Breathe on ME!!

I couldn't help today as we offered that up to the Lord to think about the children we would be visiting. It's easy to stand here and say "we have it so good..." and then push that through the die of God's call to missions thinking all sorts of things - but the hope of our comfort and prosperity that we sometimes want to share is impossible. It will never happen. They will never sit at a cherrywood dining room table with a $100 bottle of wine and marinated steaks. In air conditioning.

It's just not going to happen - I guess for us - for me - for this "team" of people including the backline support - that we'd so center on the Breath of God in our hearts and lives and that receiving that breath - we'll all come alive in Him for one child - maybe two - it is all we really have to give. Nothing more - nothing greater.

God, please breathe on us - forever as you are the reason - the only reason - for living!! Breathe on me...
