The Land Of the Rising Sun

All night last night my mind was directed toward Tokyo. Patrick left Louisville yesterday about 9:30 a. m. Eddyville time and by our time was to arrive at Narita airport in Japan about 1:30 a. m. this morning. I knew he had to get his luggage, go through customs, find where to catch a bus to a certain station in Tokyo (a four hour drive) where he would be met by Hiro, a young Japanese Pastor, and taken to Glenn's apartment. I started checking my e-mail about 6:30 a. m. and about 9:00 I was delighted to see two e-mails in my in box. One from Patrick with subject, I'M HERE. One from Glenn with subject, HE JUST HIT THE SACK !

What a joy to know all was well and the trip went fine and Patrick's "mission" had begun. (see previous post on May 19.) Remembering when both Glen and Patrick were born, some twenty years apart, seeing them grow up, give their lives to God in ministry and now be together for this missionary experience really excites me. God is good !
