Twas the Night Before...

(jan JAAAAAA)  Project Timothy 4.  Yeah, I don't know exactly what it is either.  But I think it's an OMF Leadership Training.  I do know that for this week things will be hotting up here at Auntie Georgia's Big House. Lots of people around, seminar sessions and meals being prepared and eaten. Afterward a general clean-up and set-up for other guests who will be arriving for the weekend and next week.

So right now I'm waiting up for two of our guests who will arrive later tonight. 

Tonight's dinner for me was a Japanese comfort food. It's called Niku Jyaga (meat and potatoes).  It is Onion, Carrot, and Potato simmered in a combination of equal parts Water, Soy Sauce, Sake and Mirin. Thin sliced beef or other meat is spread on top to cook. It's served with rice and in my case a bit of green salad.

It doesn't have to be served on an "Animals of Australia" cloth, but it does seem to make it even more interesting don't you think?






In light of the fact that it will be a busy week it would be great if those of you who pray for me and especially for this trip to Japan would pray for a well organized week where I will be changing hats a bit. I'll be cooking a couple of meals and generally answering requests for PT4 while doing my regular jobs of taking reservations and keeping the accounts straight. Pray for strength and health and general calmness in the busyness.

Take care and let me know what you're up to.  There's a "comments" section below.

News!

I have tickets to fly to Tokyo in April! I'll be volunteering as Guest Home Manager at the OMF Japan HQ Guest Home to fill the gap between the couple there now and the couple lined up to serve next.

I am excited. It's an opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues as well as to be useful, even in my retirement.

I'd appreciate prayer for strength and safety as well as assistance with living expenses. If any of you would like more information you can let me know: in the comments below, in a personal message on Facebook or an email or phone call.

I'll also be attempting to move house before I go.  A friend is moving soon, vacating their current condo. I've been offered the chance to rent it from them.  Definitely a move up and a quieter neighborhood. Lots to do.
