Okay, break from the churches. I dunno, there were a lot more churches we saw than I remembered, and I wanted to post a few others things, maybe. Who knows. I'm unreliable, at best.
First of all, since I know y'all've been having some difficult times here and again, or constantly, I thought I'd do a little cheerleading. So you all know, I would do anything for any of you if I knew exactly what to do, but there's a lot of times I just don't know what to say or do, and I'm very sorry because at times like that I can only offer the same stuff you've been hearing time and again and I know it all gets to sound repetitive. But... keep listening... Who knows when it might start to mean a bit more?
So, my cheerleading for today comes from a verse that I found last night in Romans, which I think could be a pretty good life-guide for every single one of us right now:
"Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer" (Romans 12:12).
Since y'all aren't stupid, I'm not offering commently except for this: I'll think you'll find that the first point and the last point are the key for the one in the middle.
You guys CAN get through all this. You've got friends who love you imperfectly, and a God who loves you waaay better.
So, in conclusion: rah, rah, shishkumbah! (How the heck do you spell that?)

Oh man, I was so used to you being in Russia and not updating this, that I totally fell behind....
I totally agree. It's like that other verse (I think from Romans...) that says something about hardship producing endurance, or something...you know what I mean.
