This fine friday morning finds me a little tired and feeling a bit stressed. I am not sure why, but it is the way life goes some times. My sleep was disrupted about 3:30 am by our night time singer who walks around the neighbor hood singing into a loud speaker in the early morning hours. I think I agree with the writer of Proverbs when he says in chapter 27 Verse 14, He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it will be counted a curse to him!!! It has a very disruptive effect on ones sleeping schedule!!! BLESS HIS HEART!!!
This also captures the attention of our visiting team, brings them out of bed in an attemp to capture the sound on video!!! Causing for more disruption, when he finishes his last song as they finally get to where they can capture the sound!!! As this brings forth some words of disgust, and annoyance!!!
Mid night witnessing does have some advantages that we miss in the day. One is, what better time to remind one of there lost condition than when they are in bed, and have no desire to be any where else. The comfort of there bed will keep them there in most cases. Hence the Lord has a golden opertunity, to speak into there lives.
This also can have a negative effect, causing bitter and angery thoughts to build, about the witnesser and his faith.
A few words of advise. If you feel the Lord is calling you to mid night witnessing, Please be sure it is his will. You might face a bit of opposition.
Please do not get me wrong. If one soul gets saved because of this mans efforts, it is worth it. But I do find it to be an annoyance.
God bless you all!!!

Well its monday night, we have a teem here, and we had a good day. Not that we would not have, we just did. Some of the teem was working on the kids home, and a few were working here tearing apart the house that the lake is taking. I worked on a few odd jobs around the place. Fixed a fuel leak on the ambulance, and replaced the batterys on the F450.
This Sunday I had my first, mainly kreole two hour conversation, with a native friend. Must say it was a challenge! It was very good to stretch my self. A few natives are saying , ok he understands kreol, don`t talk english to him. Thats kinda nice, but it is a stretch!
Ok God bless you all, and thanks for your prayer and support!
