Trey-
I'm slinging pathos all over the place. It's a byproduct of end of semester insanity. Sam really is wonderful, though. Do let us know if there's anything we can do (send, whatever) to the orphanage that you wrote about, pretty please.

gmj – great thought. Hadn't ever put that together like that.

Brienne – Thanks for the powerful story.

Thanks to help from another lady who adopted seven kids and now helps others do the same thing, Mom and Dad rescued my little brother Sam (formerly known as Anton Vladmiravich Kosakov) from an orphanage in Ukraine when he was 26 months old. He was non-verbal and suffering from failure to thrive despite the orphanage workers best efforts. After all, there were four workers and almost 150 kids under the age of 4 in the baby house. He weighed 14 pounds and wore 9 month size clothes, and that was after they'd been feeding him for a couple of weeks. He's 11 now, has no medical issues, and tests in the top 5% of his class. He is a blessing, and Kathy has helped over 1000 children find their new moms and dads.

I've never thought of it before, but Trey do you think if we keep that complete verse in our mind that helping those in need is a great thing in helping us "unpolluted from the world?" You know fixing our minds outside of SELF and the WORLD. gmj

Trey, the plight of the orphans of Honduras isn't any different than many places in the world. I just happen to be a lot closer to the ones that are here. Thank you for encouraging people to get outside the walls of their buildings to "get a ministry". I believe Ephesians 2:10 that God planned in advance what he would have us to do. I just wonder what happend if we choose to walk past his plan for us – who will do it? Love you bro!

I hope to meet them one day soon. Naomi and I would get along just fine – my shoes smell bad, too!

Trey, I'll give Naomi and Manuel a hug for you when I see them next week! You can return the favor when you meet them in December!

Jesus loves the little children. Let's love like Jesus.

With the state of the economy many stop helping those in need to take care of themselves. Just because the economy is bad is no excuse to stop helping others. God is with us in Good times and bad times.

Let us know how we can all help! A very sad story, but so glad someone can help them.

Wow. I have no words to say. But I do want to help that mission work financially.

"Today is a good day to thank God that you have been blessed the way you have."
