Inflation at a lemonade stand

Just 2 nights ago we met up with friends from Kentucky here in Boston. We were just walking back to our car after getting some ice cream. As we were walking there was a 10 year old boy selling lemonade on the sidewalk. Well...I have a weakness for little children and their lemonade stands...I just can not walk by it without having a guilty conscience. Yes, it is a weakness.

So I pulled out a dollar and told him that we wanted two lemonades. And he responded, "Well, that will be another dollar..."

ANOTHER DOLLAR. He didn't even have lemons in his instant lemonade, and they were small cups!

I guess the higher prices in Boston even go as far as a little kids lemonade stand... has our economy gotten THAT bad? No, I don't think so. I just ran into a very business savvy 10 year old :)

Well...he ended up giving me "2 for the price of one"
Maybe next time I won't feel as guilty walking by without buying?

PROBABLY NOT :)

BACK UP and RUNNING...

Sorry, everyone, for the long delay on any updates. We are now back up and running. I plan on updating at least once a week now...so check back often.

Well...where to start?

Ministry
We have had a VERY busy summer here in Boston, and Lord has been so good to us and our ministry. Over the past 3 months we have seen over 1600 people give their lives to Jesus here in the Boston area..."the fields are white..." I can not express in words how humbling it is to be able to see peoples lives change from despair to hope and from depression to LIFE.

We are about to send out our newsletter. In it I have written a story about one woman I talked to and how the love and power of Jesus has changed her life...please read it when you get it.

I have put up a picture of the team Matt and I led as we went out to the Boston area to share about Jesus.

Family
We are beginning to settle in to our new home now. There are soooooo many things in this area that are so different, but we are all adjusting and blessed to be able to live in an area of the US that impacts the entire world.

Abby is beginning to learn to read. She is just so beautiful. David wants to do everything that Abby does, but he is also SUCH a boy. He has taken on jumping on everything. I might even try to post a video of him.

So...just a little note to let you know we are still here and things are going well but very fast and very busy.
