    Cloud Bursts Over Guadalajara     September 9, 2025 Psalm 91 :1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.   Dear Praying Friends,        How thankful we are that we have a safe place “under the shadow of the Almighty!” We have plenty of situations where we must say, “Thank you, Lord for protecting us.” Just recently I wrote saying that hopefully the worst of the rainy season has passed.

She stated that his body was extremely inflamed and that he obviously handled pain better than most. She also stated that because of the vast amount of inflammation, we must stay with the regimen to keep the inflammation in check. At present that means no sugars, no gluten and no red meat. He is also on a...

    Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.   Dear Praying Friends,      While still in High School, I took this verse to be my guiding light. After many years and experiences in my life, I am so thankful that this verse still contains the central issue of living for Him = putting Him first. Our prayer is that He should always have first place in our lives.     We are writing to thank you for praying for us the last couple of months. Right after the new year, Gary started with a deep chest cold that disrupted our schedule drastically. Eventually, along with the cold came a stiffness and pain in all of his joints. The doctor gave us directions for injection which immediately took away the stiffness, but it quickly returned. However, along with everything else, Gary started having a wildly erratic heartbeat. After three specialists and more than twe...
