Italy post #4
I saw something today that made me laugh out loud. Two old Italian men on this little tiny scooter went flying by, yelling thing in Italian with huge grins on their faces.

Darien has not gotten any better and the doctors still have no idea what is wrong with his body. Please pray for him and wisdom for the doctors! Thanks! -drew

The Secret
This morning I listened to Christian radio for the first time in months. It didn’t take me long to find station. In fact I couldn’t have missed it to be honest. No matter what song is playing, it always sounds like Christian music. Though I’ve tried to put my finger on exactly what it is [...]
