Have Voice Will Travel

I'm leaving again. This time I will be chairing a board meeting in Norway--the European Bible School. I will go straight from there to the Czech Republic for an ASI meeting. I come back on the 17th of Nov.

As usual, I am exceedingly busy. I can't seem to ever catch up. We've got so many things going, and it seems I am to participate in all of it. 
Many of our staff and one student are in  Dominican Republic for a mission trip. Just two years ago I was sure the our DR project was done, dead. Some people had a burden to try again and they proved me wrong. However, it is still in ICU as far as I am concerned, but now there is hope. Oak Haven are also sending a group to work on the property. Fred Flint will be going from Harbert Hills, TN. 

 I preached at Copper Mountain last Sabbath. Barb gave me another sweater (beautiful) and promises to donate to EVI every time I preach at Copper next year. I appreciate that, but I hope I don't disappoint her too much. I can already predict that Jan/Feb are a bust. 

One of our staff had surgery for colon cancer this week. She is already walking around the campus. As far as I know, they took part of her bowels near the stomach and they took part of her large bowel nearer the other end. She is doing well, very well indeed.

I rec'd a text from my wife last week. She says she cannot come home this year. Her situation is impossible. She cannot leave because of her responsibilities. Well, if there is anything I  understand it is duty. I always lean toward duty. It isn't always appreciated, but it is always right. "The voice of duty is the voice of God." I may go to Africa for a month this winter. 

Our new doctor is working out really well. I believe things will actually be easier, simpler and more effective in the LSC. We worried for a while because of mold in the house we had reserved for them. I didn't think we'd find a house without mold, but we did. Our Mavis got married this week (she is honeymooning as I write) and left an open home to move our Doctor and his family into. And, voila, no mold. Isn't God on top of everything.

I did a Skype interview for the ASI Southern Fall Conference two days ago. The interview was 20 minutes long and I also introduced Ted Wilson the GC President to the congregation. Somethings make me nervous, and that was one of them. I was drenched with cold sweat by the time I was done. I hate it. Some people are as cool as cucumbers, and I stress over a stupid interview.

Blessings to you all.
