I believe that Cork and I have entered the “Fall Season” of our lives.  We are able to look back and thank our Lord for all that He has done with and for us.  We know we still have much to look forward to.  With “official” retirement age just several years away, the Dutch in our churches are asking us if we will be leaving Europe anytime soon.  Our reply, “No way! – unless of course God leads us in that direction.”  With dollar purchasing power falling each and every month, we might be tempted to think that maybe God is leading us to leave because of Euro exchange rates…but we know our GOD IS FAITHFUL!  So we are planning to stay right here and remain faithful too.  How can we go wrong with this decision?  Some of our Dutch friends have commented that if they were hit with a 35% pay cut they would be looking for another job.  It is exciting to see how God provides in so many different ways each month to keep us on the field.  We serve a great and faithful God.
