Just read something cool on a friend's blog...this is the way it goes: You look at your life....and try to remember....what did you do (or what was going on), 10 years ago, 20 years ago and 30 years ago? ...anyway, here is my story:
10 years ago: It was 1997 and we had just moved into the house where we still live. Earlier that year we were able to go back to the Middle East for a visit.....I was working at a Chiropractors office......That fall Andraus started his third year at College in California ....Also in the fall, began serving with OM as their NW Regional reps..life was still pretty rough though, as we had just past the first Anniversary of our son Jonathan's death (September 4th). Pat worked with furniture restoration.
20 years ago: It was 1987....and we were living in Cairo, on Rd 206 in Digla. This turned out to be our last year in that city as we later on (summer of 88) moved to live in Sweden for a year. I was very busy involved in a variety of things....at a baby clinic for village mothers, collecting clothes and toys and other things for poor people up and down the country....and being a Mom of two very active (and already swimming) young boys. Pat worked among the garbage collectors.
30 years ago: It was 1977 and we lived in Cairo. God had just given us a little baby boy that summer (born in Cairo) and I was busy learning how to be a Mom. What a beautiful little baby we had!! We were busy being involved in all kinds of people work and also on track learning the culture and the language. We had only been in country a little over a year at that time.
Well, that was a little glimpse into my life....how about yours?
