A cool idea from...



The Umbrella Analogy

"With the support of Compass Bible Church, we've made available a dynamic Flash-based presentation that you can use to share your faith simply by sending a link.

You can also learn from it! This presentation does a wonderful job of explaining, with animation and audio, how the problem of sin keeps us separated from God until faith in Christ provides a protective cover for our lives.

We encourage you to view this presentation several times and memorize the Scripture passages presented so that you can explain the same principle to others. This presentation loaded automatically when you came to this page. The free Flash plug-in is required to view."

An update from Lois, concerning our brother Gregg Cunningham:











Gregg is much improved from his hyperacusis and also his back injury. He can tolerate hearing everyday sounds now. He still must limit the amount and volume at which he speaks to reduce the likelihood that he will get the troubling hyperacusis symptoms (headache, ringing in the ears, vibration in the skull).

He is also improving in the length of time he can tolerate reading and writing.He is out walking at 15 minute intervals about 6 times a day, so that has improved his morale too.
Gregg's improvement is doubly important because I leave for China early Thursday morning to bring home Amy, our third adopted daughter!
God bless you, Lois
