We are prais­ing the Lord for a won­der­ful week­end spent up in Seat­tle at the Mis­sion Fest gath­er­ing. We enjoyed man­ning the Light­Sys dis­play and talk­ing with people about the excit­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties we look for­ward to (Lord will­ing) in pro­vid­ing tech­nol­ogy, com­puter and web ser­vices for both mis­sion­ary orga­ni­za­tions and mis­sion­ar­ies alike. I enjoyed vis­it­ing a few ses­sions and get stirred up afresh on the impor­tance of incor­po­rat­ing the Great Com­mis­sion in every aspect of life. We will be shar­ing a little bit more this week on what God has been stir­ring in our hearts…

I am also thank­ing the Lord for the arrival of my blender! It has been dis­func­tional for the past two months as I have been wait­ing a back ordered part on war­ranty. I hon­estly had given up hope and yet it arrived this week­end safe and sound. We enjoyed smooth­ies this morn­ing and what a treat! They are back on the menu!

    I’ve fol­lowed a few rabbit trails about kefir on your blog, and I have a question-​where can I get free kefir grains on the web?

    Joanna, try post­ing a request on craigslist or freecy­cle. Or you could always try cold call­ing some local raw milk farms if you have them around. (www.​realmilk.com) A lot of times, the same people who drink raw, also love kefir!
    And there even seems to be a web­site that lists some folks who have them to give away.
