James 1
27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
How are you?
I have started a blog to cover our www.mendingkids.org experience as we foster an 8 year old child called Berahnau from Ethiopia......he needs some serious back surgery. He also has a withered right arm. He is mal nourished and is a sorry we soul.
I simply cant keep up with all the mails the calls and the loving support we have had.....we are overwhelmed.
I had thought we could have done this Quitley,and picked up a big reward in heaven, The Nuns say that if you publicizes your good works on earth you have had your rewards.......the things done secretly God will rewards openly..........This is my position.
ABC CHANNEL 7 - It would appear that ..this is not Gods will for Bernahua.We have been asked by the LA children's Hospital if we can be involved in a documentary on Mending kids a section aired on channel 7-will be based around Bernahiue.
He is so Photogenic- his eyes tell a story of deep sorrow, yet when he smiles the world lights up.
He has the ability to melt people to tears....so small so broken and yet a gift from God.
The purpose of the Blog is simply this............
Bring attention to the plight of Children in third world countries who need life saving surgeries.
We also want to build up a network of families that can take the children and be host homes.
There is no profit or expenses paid for Gas ect-the travel up to LA is a pain but the rewards that will last into the life of a child and on into eternity are overwhelming.
It is my intention to tell as many people as I can of www.mendingkids.com ...........
Mending kids locate them – fly them to the US – surgeons do the surgery but they need Host families to provide homes care and transportation for the children.
This is my wife's project...............I am just a player on the sideline in a support role.....
This is real Jesus stuff..............no question about it this is front line hands on every dime being used to help some of the meekest people on the face of the earth........
So so good so refreshing ,so humbling to be involved.
No body is making any money-just broken kids being mended.
Superb .....
Tell as many people as you can............. Www.mendingkids.org ..............they are the real deal..!
Your pal

Sat Morning ,

Bernie is now up and running around.
He has slept well and is now playing with Chris my 20 year old.
I need to decide should I go up the mountain to the mens retreat to lead a communion service or should I stay..Prep for Tommorrow and get back into the groove..........
His Sleeping pattern is good but he is Jet lagged.
He clearly has experince of Dogs........the car door opened and he gave our Dog an unusual ethiopian welcome with his foot ........!
He is learning our names..........
This was the first meeting between Bern and Chris,
Chris left the room in tears as we considered the plight of the meekest person on the planet...yet a Rich gift from God called Bernie.
Its a long time since I felt my eyes fill with teras......not open tears of sorrow but tears of.......compassion for a peson so so frail and so so weak.

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED WEE BERNIE FLIES INTO LAX 30 HRS of flying time...Ethiopia –London - LAX
Thursday 11.50 pct
Well what an experience.........
We picked up Bernahua at Lax tonight at around 8 .30pm
He is around 2 ft tall ,his back is badly deformed, his left hand shriveled and he is very shy and withdrawn.
Carrie has a Ethiopian Phrase book and we have managed to get a few words out of him.
He will be our foster child for the next three/four months.........
How Rich are we in the west........this wee man is one of the meekest human beings on the face of the earth..he has nothing, no parents ,not even a body that works properly.
We met another couple who were taking the little girl in the pictures ,she has heart problems............she was almost breathless .
The girl who went to Ethiopia for Wee Bernie- said he was in a mission waiting three weeks on the flight.SHe has flown around 60 hrs in the past few days............30 there and 30 back....!
The conditions were squalid. Bernie also has head lice.
Immediate action is required in then form of a hot bath.and special stuff that stinks.....!
As I type we are in a Hotel on Century boulevard Beth and Carrie are in one bed and me and the wee man are in the other..............as we put his wee Jamies on tonight his skin is hard his hands and feet are rugged.....I am shocked at his twisted body......what an affliction.
He has fallen asleep clutching a small teddy bear with his little arm with three fingers.
Tomorrow we travel over to the Children's hospital for some tests and examinations.
If I can do anything with this life ,I genuinely want to support mending Kids and get as many people involved as possible.
Caroline sleeps ....this is her project- but to be honest I am so overwhelmed by Love for this child I feel it will be impossible to let him go back.
Mending Kids are looking for someone to take the two children back......its a 30 hr flight ,60 hr round trip-......... I feel I want to go and see the conditions in Ethiopia for myself...........
How far away from a village in Scotland all this seems............A little boy sound asleep ,so much in need ,yet so much love comes from his little smile..when Bernie smiles the world lights up.
James 1 27 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
I think I need to do a blog or something like face book for Bernie to keep everyone up to speed- The love the support and the stuff you have given us has been overwhelming.this may also help awareness for mending kids.............the tears in the eyes of the mending kids staff tonight were so so real....!
As we snuggled up I got a bit of blank paper and drew what had happened to him, he nodded as I drew a matchstick man in Ethiopia flying on a big silver bird to America.......God let this lad be made whole ,in your precious name amen and amen.
Simply

why a blogg......?
Well I thought I would start a blog....!

Blimey what for, I am busy enough without adding more E type work......to my day....
I think.....I can use this blog to simply,tell as many people as I can,I have found the answer to all of the problems, the dilemmas and the heartaches of life.........
Simply God made man - man has gone bad- God sent his son as last chance to turn from our sorry ways- if we believe in him we live forever in paradise -if not we languish in Hell.....for ever and that is a long time.....
I think I want to give the rest of my life to tell people,the need for a faith in Christ.
Every move I make must point towards Christ.....!
