Every Morning at Seven AM

Good Morning, Tianjin ! I get up early, so this is no problem for me. Out my window I get to see these elderly neighbors do their morning exercises. Recently they have been singing a popular Olympic song and figuring out choreography to go along with it. One of them stands inside the circle and seems to be the main singer. I think they are SO cute. Old is cute. Some of my favorite people are the very OLD and the very YOUNG.

What I see out my window at 7:00 AM

Every weekday morning this is what I see

if I happen to be looking out the window at

7:00 AM. My dear husband, with his coffee in hand, gets on his trusty Giant bike and pedals off the five minute bike ride to work (school.) This is his transportation routine rain or shine, hot or cold........

Birthday Party with some Cute Kids at the Orphanage

My Sweet Daddy

Four years ago, on August 20, 2004 my Dad, Jerry Stowers, breathed his last breath on earth. I am not sure exactly what is going on in the heavenly realm now, but I do know

that he is with the LORD and that he looked forward to the gift of eternal life that was given to him many years ago because he chose to follow the Lord and be obedient to Him all his life.

So I celebrate the memory of a great man. My special Dad. He was very kindhearted, humorous, loving, and

talented. (in things like golf, harmonica, yo-y0, and magic tricks). He was the one who taught me to drive, mow the lawn, yoyo, play badmitton, play ping pong, tennis, and a bunch of other things ! ) He and my mom lived in Africa for about 30 years and I am sure that many are there in heaven , or will be, because of his testimony. I think about my Dad alot and still miss him. What an example he was to me as a father !
