Stuff on the porch

We get many things left on our porch at night,
and they're left for many reasons. We have had
vegtables left in order to thank us for some
kind thing Kelly and I had done. We have had
puppies left because they were so sick that
nobody wanted them. But recently we had our
biggest suprise yet.

We told you last prayer update that our house
had been broken into twice while we were away,
but we didn't tell you that they stole both our
digital camera and our video camera. This was a
discouragement to us because both of these
things were purchased with special gifts that we
had recieved from supporters. We knew that God
had provided and God had allowed these things to
be taken from us.

Well, the other morning we opened our front door
to find both cameras in a plastic bag on our
porch.

The people around here say the thieves
"repented". I think that's a pretty good use
of the word. They not only felt sorry for what
they had done, they changed the way they were
going by giving back the stolen items.

It remains to be seen if the cameras are in good
working order and it remains to be seen if the
thieves will repent of their "sins" and not just
of their "sin".
