Unintended consequences

We do things and never know where it will go. Spoke by Email the last couple of days with a man going to the new Friends church in Brea. They have about 350 and are excited. So? Well, he is #4 boy in his family and his mom came to the Lord in a Bible study I had in 1961, dad was a believer but had been sleeping for thirty years. All four boys are in ministries, one is a missionary. The folks never slowed down until papa was hit by Als in recent times. The missionary son is in Poland and a couple of years ago he was in charge of a mission get together in Prague. Met a lady from HQ in Michigan who had come to do the children's ministry. Got to talking and "Where are you from?" and he said California. Where in CA? La Habra, near Disneyland. "Well, so am I, grew up there. What church did you go to?" and he said he started in the ME church but they switched to Granada Hts. Friends in La Mirada when he was quite young. She about fell over and said that had been the path of her family and developed her folks had gotten saved in the Bible study we had at the Whiteheads. Smallish world? So you never know, just keep at it.

Very interesting, Gpa! So fun to see you have figured out more of your blog. Now you can write out thoughts as they come to you instead of waiting for the letter on Sundays.
