“If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
- Dolly Parton

Words from a song that emphasize perseverance through difficulty; certainly appropriate for our times. God blessed me with His rainbow and His promise when I left a grocery store today. Thank you, Lord!

Genesis 9:13-17

“Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.”
- St. Francis of Assisi

My good friend, Rev. Babuji, selflessly gave of his time on my recent journey to South Asia. He is a family man with two young children, a pastor, and Principal of the Hyderabad Bible College. Yet, he still drove me to/picked me up at the airport four times (sometimes in the middle of the night), picked up several meals for me, and took time to have some ice cream. I am very grateful, not only for his generous heart, but, more importantly, for our friendship and time of fellowship.

Proverbs 11:25
