Marking A Half Century

This year we both hit the big five-zero! We celebrated Shari's birthday with our good friends with whom we gather weekly for prayer and fellowship. We cooked mutton (goat meat) and passed around ladoos, an Indian sweet given on special occasions. Shari made punch with fruit juice, seltzer water, and vanilla ice cream, a new taste treat for the kids. The previous night we went to a beautiful park in a hilly forested area, then ate at a Tibetan/Chinese restaurant nearby. Shari finally found food that wasn't loaded with chili peppers. She was ecstatic! We are both looking forward to many more years of life, health, and ministry. Yes, Lord!
