marshwiggle ... I don't know why it shocked me that you live in such a far away place; and so culturally different, but it did.
That is one of the best things about the internet. It is an honor to meet you. I prayed for the Christians there, and the spread of the gospel as I read your blog. So your posting changed your country :):) because God answers prayer.
I'm glad you and your family are safe. Are there many real Christians there? I've developed friendship with someone in Wales and Holland. They say the church is cold there for the main part. I live in the very center of America. Our great freedom allows both good and evil to flourish. Mid America has thousands of churches feeding truth to sincere Christians. (Of course 10 times that many that don't) But still, I praise God for His faithfulness in the midst of our evil. Just wanted to say hi and thank you for sharing about India.
