From the Helm – Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Noon – Just arrived back to the Beatriz after our morning session.  It was a great time of study on the relationship between the man and woman as it should be related to Christ’s relationship to His church.  Lots of raised eyebrows from this group of “Latino” men.  In the end, however, agreement was unanimous as to how the needs of each couple should be addressed.  It was good for me to go over these truths again in my own life.  It’s a wonder any woman would have stayed with me any length of time at all…

The crew from the Beatriz had a spread laid out for us when we arrived aboard.  They were grilling fresh Tambaqui.  I’m not a bit hungry at the moment.  Maybe Ricky will get in on some of the deal.  Jimbo arrives on the 6 o’clock flight tonight.  I look forward to seeing him.  Our plans are to set sail in the morning for the Wai-Wai Nation.  My, my, my.  What a deal it should be…

Ricky has been a profound blessing to my life and the lives of these precious men these days.  We have all benefited greatly by his anointing and candidness.  We all trust this is only the beginning of a relationship that will flourish in realms and ways unimagined.  I thank God for Ricky, Celisa and their church for the selfless nature of their sacrifice on behalf on these here in the Valley.  God will recompense such things as none of we who received are able to.  Thank You, Lord, for it all…
