God bless your parents for what they’re doing.
We finished up our annual missions emphasis on Sunday and the pastor focused on one of our members who is from Brazil and is building a trade school there for the orphans that our church works with (where Jr. has gone for the last four years).
I found myself sitting there thinking...hmmmm...orphans...hmmm...foster care. I must be nuts.
I haven’t told the Mrs.
In good news, and a prayer request...Jr. has an interview with UPS tonight.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way... :-)

Me, I think they’re crazy. But it’s obvious now part of the why they were supposed to do this - when my cousin needed help, they were already certified as foster parents and still had one spare “allowed child” slot open for her. It makes me feel better about our other cousin, we would not have been allowed to foster him as the rules say no more than six children under 18 in the home, counting the foster-er’s own kids. So my folks are at capacity now.
In what area of Brazil is your fellow church member working to build the trade school? Paul’s girlfriend’s family is originally from Minas Gerais.
