"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy." Philippians 1: 3-4Let me start todays blog by telling you I prayed for you lastnight, you, my blog friends! I had gone to bed early, thought I would read some Philippians and the above verse was about as far as I got. My eyes too tired to read but my head not tired enough to sleep, so I took it as a sign to pray for my friends. And I chose my blog-reading friends! And I've included the photos I took through the Similkameen river valley yesterday as I went out for a leisurely drive with my camera.

Thanks for remembering us in prayer. It is heart warming and encouraging. There has been a deterioration of religious freedom and of justice in Malaysia of late. A real fight between those that stand for justice and those that stand for oppression. I will post with more details soon. In the meantime, thanks for the prayers.
