there's no place like home! We arrived back to ours Sunday evening about 8:30. After more than two weeks away many things had changed.
1. FIRE ANTS - They summoned all their friends and neighbors and invaded the yard. They are everywhere! It will take some time but we will send them packing...maybe to your yard.
2. MOLES - They were here when we left. They have multiplied and have as a project plowing the yard, front and back. I am hoping they might be confronted by the fire ants and have a miniscule Armageddon!
3. SQUIRRELS - These prolific bushy-tailed rodents are running free. They have not been taught family history, or else have forgotten that our yard is more risky that Mr. McGregor's garden.
4. MOSQUITOES - I had forgotten just how wonderful the world is without these blood suckers. Like a bad penny, they are back. We will survive them. It is a reminder some prayed-for rain has come.
I see all these little "problems" then read a letter from dear friends, Clyde and Carol Schulz, serving in Brazil as Baptist missionaries. They are separated by thousands of miles from Christina, Carl, Catherine, and Curtis. They are working to reach a miniscule of 258 tribes of some 470,000 people without the Gospel. For most of them there is no Bible to be read in their own tongue. This couple is seeking to visit, tribe by tribe, where they can, to share the Word.
See how Fire Ants, Moles, Squirrels, Mosquitoes, and other little bothers can so quickly become unimportant in light of that which is? Bring on the wharf rats!
