My husband just couldn't resist taking this photo the other night. It shows the icicles off our drainspout, and the neon cross of the church across the street. It is actually a stunning sight with your eyes, but the camera doesn't quite capture it acurately. You'll notice that the cross is in focus, but everything else is slightly out of focus. You see in our lives as we focus in on what Jesus did on the cross, everything else fades from importance. People keep asking us if we are leaving Canada because of the cold or if we are returning to Brazil to be close to family. The answer is NO. We have tried to focus on the cross and doing God's will. So all the other factors pro or con for pastoring PIBRJ (First Baptist Church of Rio de Janeiro) really have faded, in light of being obedient to God's will. Just keeping our eyes on the cross!
