We met up with Pastor Jim and family today at Duke Gardens for a little picnic and chat about Bible translation and how his church might be involved in bringing God’s word to those who still wait to read it in their own language. What a wonderful afternoon! I only wish we had swapped packed lunches. We brought typical turkey sandwiches which they easily bested with sandwiches from that o-so-glorious chicken place that advertises with a cow. Eat more…yes please!

After (sorta) eating and spilling stuff everywhere, Poppy and her new friend JJ went frolicking hand-in-hand.

Poppy and JJ immediately felt a special bond, a bond of birthdays. Would you know that Poppy and her new friend JJ have the same exact birthday! When they found out, they could think up no better way to celebrate than by scuttling down the hill on their bottoms.
