Erosion

The wind, rain, sun, and other environmental agents, combine to create some wonderful natural beauty.  On one of the walks we did this past week we were able to reach the lookout to see the two chimneys.

Erosion creates as well as destroys things.  That is true in our lives as well.  Our experiences and our environment combine to shape our lives.  God’s power is great enough to create beauty.  His power is greater than any destructive forces we encounter.  His goal is to conform us to the holiness, perfection, and beauty found in Christ Jesus.

Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.”  (Eccl 3:11)

Praise and Prayer

  • Masks, temperature checks, and hand sanitizing are back in effect in Taiwan.  This includes all public venues and all church meetings.  Even when it is 34-38 degrees, God’s grace is sufficient!
  • Please pray for a number of church members with physical needs.
  • Praise the Lord that Henry Chuang arrived in Taiwan safely and has started his home quarantine.
  • Pray for meetings with school administrators to arrange telling Bible stories and teaching English starting in the Fall.
