Curve Balls

This week has been a week of curve balls. Yet, I've really sensed this overwhelming burden to just keep praising God in spite of it all. Perhaps it's related to my previous post (called Office Space) where I referred to prayers for revival in a specific community close by the base where I work. I'm not sure, but one thing's for sure, it never hurts to keep praising the Lord when faced with adversity, last minute changes and inconveniences.

This morning was spent cleaning the Quinta. It's our other property that is about 45 minutes from the base, has a swimming pool and is a large area to clean. I have to say, I don't always get fired up about cleaning, but God has really been using it lately.

On the way out we drove by a bank and there was a big heist in Mexico City this a.m. As we drove by this bank (12 hours away from Mexico City) we say two trucks full of Federal Police, all with weapons drawn running into the place. Afterward, we came to the conclusion that they were probably just demonstrating a show of force as a result of what happened in Mexico City. There has been a lot of violence in the city lately, many police and government officials have been threatened and killed (mostly related to drug-trafficking and the recent changes in the presidential office).

It's expected to hit 110 degrees next week. I'm sure I'll have something to write about it.
