Desires

I had seen this quote ages ago... and just ran across it again. So well put!! It exactly expresses what I could not put into words. Ponder their meaning:

"Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are halfhearted creatures fooling around with drink, sex, and ambition when infinite joy is offered us; like an ignorant child content to play with mud pies in a slum, when he doesn't know what it means to have a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased." - C.S. Lewis, Weight of Glory

Barby - thanks for always stretching what little brain cells I do have... :)

Have a blessed week.

Our Work

Peter is South African, I am dual citizenship Costa Rican/USA. We met on a ship, distributing educational books in ports around the world, and learning to minister. First encounter in Chile, started dating in Germany, proposed in Norway, engaged in Portugal, married in Costa Rica...

For many years we worked with Operation Mobilization.
We continue to be very involved with NGO's, currently on the board of directors of Houses of Hope International, which has over 20 orphanages and a presence in several countries.

Riovivo Solutions is our software development company; we develop customized applications. We're good! This is how we fund our non-profit work, which is our real passion.

Peter as a teacher and preacher enjoys a very special bond with the people he ministers to, especially overseas. He spurs them on toward overcoming obstacles and realizing their full potential.

I l ove to see people here and abroad become armed (with knowledge) and dangerous - and stand firm in the grace of God and make this world a better place. And oh yeah, I like to write. And dance. A lot.
