Ministry opportunity

I got a phone call this morning from a Diana Dimoff. She works for motion masters, which is a video production company. Erica Jude, who is a SCORE missionary in the Dominican with her husband, Nate, was employed with them before they arrived in the Dominican. Obviously, she is still doing some things with them, as she gave them my name. Erica wrote a script for a production on child abuse, and they want me in it.
Diana and her crew are coming to Lynchburg this Thursday to interview me. I have the script that they emailed me. My part is not an "acted" part, thank goodness. They want to know the early neglect, and then the part about being adopted and my family life. Shan's backyard is really pretty...a small wooded area just past the main yard. They will video either in Shan's backyard, or possibly in her living room. They're hoping I can have a grandchild with me, so Shiloh may appear in it also.
Please pray for clarity of thought, the right words, and a definite lack of nervousness.

...out of the mouth of babes...

For the past couple of weeks whenever I put Shiloh down for her nap or bedtime, I sing three songs to her....*Jesus loves me*, "The Love of God" (1st & 3rd verse---can never remember the 2nd one), and *Silent Night*. She gets in bed, fusses for about 3 seconds, then turns on her side, clasps her hands together as if praying, and just looks at me waiting for the songs.
Yesterday afternoon, Shan was laying on the bed. Shiloh crawled up next to her, but Shan and I were talking. Quietly, Shiloh started to sing....her own version of "Jesus loves me"
~~~Jesus loves me I know~~~
Those were the only words she sang...repeating them several times. What a blessing and an encouragement to hear these simple truthful words sung so softly.
