Halloween Masks

This Halloween we didn't see many ghost and goblin masks here in Chernigov, but people were wearing another kind of mask. The H1N1 flu virus was reported to have reached Ukraine about a week ago. Authorities have blamed the virus for numerous deaths in Western Ukraine. The goverment has issued a quarantine for the entire country. All schools, universities, outdoor markets and public gatherings have been canceled for the next 3 weeks. We have been asked to shorten or cancel our church meetings and we are not able to visit any of the orphanages during this time. Many people are in a real state of panic here. I have heard of some that refuse to leave their homes and how some stores won't even let you in to shop if you are not wearing a mask. Please pray that people here would look to Christ during this time of fear and sickness and find eternal life.

Coffee & Chan

This morning Koren and I had a wonderful time just hanging out together. The kids were gone and we sat back and drank coffee, talked and rested. One thing that made the morning so good was a Bible study that we watched given by Francis Chan. A good friend of mine turned me on to Francis Chan about a month ago and I have loved studying the Word with Chan through his podcasts ever since. The reason I like listening to Chan is that he always brings it all back to loving Christ and how if that love is real it will translate into loving people. Francis Chan is the teaching pastor at Cornerstone Church, Simi Valley, CA. I have posted the message that we listened to this morning. Enjoy!

It's Official

I have been married to the most wonderful woman in the world for NINE years! This is a little late in coming. Our anniversary was actually last week, but we have been a little busy since getting back to Chernigov.
To share with you in a few words how thankful I am for my wife Koren... she is a better mother then I could have ever asked for to our children. Koren is a gift from God in my life, constantly showing me so much love and grace as we live this life together. I am so grateful to God for this beautiful woman that I have been given. I love being married to you Koren!!!!!!!

I Love You Betty

We made cookies tonight, but not just any cookies. Gluten free chocolate chip cookies! We have a little girl with Celiac disease and this made her day. They actually taste really good! We will be bringing a bunch of these back with us to Ukraine. Emma will make sure of it!
