Going through Hell

Recently, I was looking through our old newsletters from our time of preparation to go to China.  I had recorded there an account of a little girl who said, "You know, if you dug through the Earth to get to China, you'd have to go through Hell first."  At the time, I really knew what she meant.  Sometimes, it felt like we were "going through Hell" to get to China. 

As any good Christian geophysicist knows, you don't have to go through Hell to get to Italy, but I think we get close sometimes!  But, during this last sprint to arrive in Italy on January 7th, we have certainly felt the presence of the evil one.  We know what to do in those situations, though. 

"Submit yourselves, then, to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  Come near to God and he will come near to you."  (James 4:7)

Amen!
