I remember seeing this story on film in the 7th grade. Out of all the rubish I saw I still vividly remember this particular one. I figured I google “man trades cow for woman” and you came up. I am glad that someone else would comment on this. if you have the name of the name of this movie, I’d appreciate it if you would post it. thanks

Thanks for posting, Jen. God willing, when you come to our house humble abode, we won’t be checking our caller ids on the TV but the screen is bigger and thinner than ever!

Seriously, though, whenever I hear my friends in this transition,there is a sort of sadness and gratitude in voices like yours. The passage from Hebrews 11 always comes to mind. We forget that discontentment is part of our faith journey… thanks for sharing. See you soon!

Comment on On the Topic of 2-Ply Toilet Paper by Betsy Lynne Hall

Jen,

This is hilarious! It’s so true. If the restrooms in Zambezia or even in the nice gas station in Gaza actually have toilet paper, we talk about it for weeks. I just brought some 2-ply back from SA and it’s been fabulous! How funny the little things we get so excited about. When I went home, I DRANK tons of water out of the tap, just because I could. Hope you’re having fun at home!

thanks for the story.

So good to hear from you! I’ve been worried about you and praying that all was well (meaning to email you every day)…and it sounds like you needed the prayer…and the couch! God provides in mysterious ways, doesn’t He?!
