The Starfish

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said ” I made a difference for that one.”
Proverbs 24:12 "Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act."

PAT IS IN TAIWAN!!!

Pat set off to a brave new world - Adoption Travel!  lol  
He met Joy, toured her orphanage and school, had lunch with gov't officials, and has been warmly embraced by the Taiwaneese!  Thank you God!
Joy has had quite a growth spurt! lol   She is 10 yrs old and 5ft tall!   She loves basketball! (imagine that!).
Yesterday they spent hours riding thru the little town on a tandom bike!  God Dad! 
Pat said Joy is quiet until you get her going! lol   He describes her as cheerful, helpful, and full of energy!  Just what us old folks need to keep us living young!
I will post picks hopefully soon!

Thank you all again for your prayers and support!
