Being in the broadcast industry, downtime is a word with very negative connotations. Along with this, there is the ever annoying “I am away” autoresponse that we all receive at the most inconvenient times. However, for us humans, downtime and away time is a needed necessity. Starting on Friday afternoon and running through Sunday morning, Donna and I took some downtime and away time. We went to a nearby lodge, without computers or Internet to sleep, reflect, rest, read and pray. It was great to have some downtime and away time. Praise God with us for this time.
My significant struggle this month has been this nagging feeling that I am neither leaving TWR well nor starting at ICM well. Switching organizations is never an easy task. This task is complicated for those of us who raise support. It is not just us who switch. Lord willing, it is also supporters who switch. Pray that I would continue to trust God with this issue.
Last weekend was mid-term break at RVA and we had our three teenagers plus six friends for a long weekend. It was a busy, but great time. Below is a photo of the whole gang.
Lastly, in a few days I will go to South Sudan to do a technical evaluation of a FM station. My nephew and his family are involved with this station and other projects. Pray that I can be a real encouragement to the team who is working in South Sudan, help them with the technical aspects of the FM station and not be too much of a drain on the limited resources of housing, food and water.
Paul
