Doc,
 Thanks buddy I know I can count on ya...We leave B.W.I. around 6.00 sumthing go to Chicago and leave there around 11:40 and then a 13 hr.45 min flight to Bejig and jump another flight from there to our childs providence that's another few hours flight..Then at our last landing we meet our guide and get a hotel for a quick nap and then they hand us our screaming little girl..I don't sleep good on any plane and stayed up a total of 56 hours last time just in the travel time and waiting at the gates etc. ...I saw my Dr. today and she gave me something to knock me out on the plane heading to Bejig cause if not I'll stay awake through all those flights and gate hopping...Hope I don't pass gas,snore or scratch myself while I'm out..    :rolleyes:

[bowslinger]

Well, at least if your out, you won't know you did any of those things!

It is a wonderful thing you are doing, providing that child with opportunities she never would likely have.  It is truly God's work at hand!

God Bless you and prayers for a safe flight both ways!

[Phrogdrvr]

We'll be praying.  My wife was adopted as an infant from S. Korea- 37 years ago.  Boy am I glad her parents  did that.

[Rookie@51]

I'll be praying for you as well. I too think this is a great thing you are doing for this baby.......

[b.glass]

I have a grandniece from China. Very cool when people do this! Prayers for a safe journey!

:rolleyes:  ONLY YOU, would worry about that keef...        

Just don't take em w/ beer! Or your poor wife will be wheeling you around in a wheelchair passed out!  

Last time, there were some "delays" that held up the transfer of your wee one... hope it's as smooth as you predict this time --aside from travel issues!

[GRAYBEARD]

It takes mighty special folks to open your hearts and home the way you do. Prayers and blessings for you and your expanding family!

Godspeed, Keefer!

God be with you and the Mrs throughout the trip, and may He forgive you for anything the meds cause you to do!  

[Keefer]

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers...We are truely blessed with these two and next week we travel to bring home Darci Ande and Kaci's little sister...I pray for her biological birth mother cause we have no clue how this effects her to have to abandon a child but we pray she knows she will be in a loving,caring,home where God is always first and formost...Please pray for Ande and Kaci as we are leaving them with a lady in our church to care for them while we are away..This is the first time we must leave them with someone else and we are heart broken we couldn't afford to take them both on this trip with us...Pray Darci will one day be able to use her hands due to missing both thumbs and wrists are clubbed at a severe angle...Here are a few pics of our first two and these pics are summer before last but enjoy...Thank you all once again for the prayers and travel mercy's for us...God Bless...

Oh almost forgot... Can you tell me where this idea for the arrows came from ? A clue is in your bible...I have to have Art Vincent add one more to this....  

[Doc Nock]

Just got back from a small trip of my own...

Will be thinking of you as you snore and scratch your way through a day of flight travel!

Prayers for the girls while you're gone. I'm sure they'll do better than you and Mom! Rest in the reality that they KNOW how much you two love them and how much the Lord loves them.

Keep the Son in your eyes! (and your new book out of the diaper bag)

Psalm 127:3-5

My wife and I had our third child 3 years ago, I was 42 and my wife 41, not a planned pregnancy and we were a little worried due to our age. The Lord took me to that precise scripture and reminded me that He is in control. I admire you more than you can imagine for what you and your wife are putting your hands to in opening up your hearts and home to these beautiful little ones. May the God of all grant you safe passage to and from your destination, and may you feel the love that He has for you. And I would also say with confidence...He is proud of you and your wife for your sacrifice and love.  Thank You and please relay my thanks to your wife as well.

[Keefer]

Mark,
   You read the exact scripture and I had Lee Hoots put that on my recurve a few years ago as a reminder to me He does indeed answer prayers...Thank you sir and I appreciate your prayers....Did you notice the ladybugs crawling on those two arrows? Just a little extra touch of Art Vincent's talant...

[b.glass]

A beautiful story, the one about the arrows. I have a book, "Bows and Arrows of the Bible", that does a very nice job of explaining the reference of a "full quiver".

Bless you and your family. I'm praying you have a safe trip.

[Keefer]

It's almost time everyone...We leave in 6 hours to drive to the airport so I will post updates here when we get to Nanjing...Thanks everyone for lifting us up in prayers...God Bless,
