6 days and Counting

This last Saturday was very fine. Friends food and prs.
busy enough not to take any photos..

In preparation ... on the way back from the grocery store, planning, scurring, etc., etc., there was minute or so where I was just sitting there. A new vision of the trip was placed on my heart. No, Tom you are not going to solve all of this. Skylight in the roof by yourself? Hum. You know there just might be a few young folks in Aix that could come out to help. What an idea... you mean this is not about me being a hero?
Oh. I get it. An outreach for youth in Aix?? Perhaps someone might want to do so of the work for the fun of it? An Adventure ..

Departing April 15th for Ventabren FR



So, I will leave for L'Eau Vive Provence for a month, on Tuesday April 15th.

The question comes. Tom? Why are you doing this?

Well that's kind of a tough call. So many "coincidences" and everything going well so far. We'll see what He brings in the morning. I have studied this question and suppose we do have to wait to really know.

I have been drawn to the South part of France since first visiting in 1970. I have returned many times. Even since my step-daughter went to work with others in Aix, there has been a whisper to go.

Departing April 15th

Well, how does one end up returning to the place he loves over and over? Suppose its on the heart. And, how do we keep returning to that place in the heart? It seems that He places some kinds of longings in us and they just don't go away.
