If given the choice between a blog on MAF statistics (MAF airplanes hauled so many #'s of rice, so many pastors, medevacs, etc.) and one about the Forneys on the ground in Uganda visiting an orphanage or making waffles together... I choose the latter every time!<br />I don't mean that to downplay what you do, but to magnify how important your family is in it.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing "the other side."Ariellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427136303718160680.post-9545233924203747542018-03-31T21:48:05.196+03:002018-03-31T21:48:05.196+03:00Fascinating as always Dave!

I remember dad calling himself "Fungus Face" when he allowed his beard to take over too much face, and him cutting it back slowly for the fun of it. You and Joy give your kids such REAL fun. I was about to say "old fashioned", but why should games together in the yard, boardgames, cooking together, fixing up chicken feeders etc be old fashioned... only because they are not iPad based?! Heck, the world for kids has changed too much, in very many ways not for the better, and bravo to you and Joy for how you're bringing up your tribe!<br /><br />AliJust mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546984503732753891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427136303718160680.post-50352112401027984452017-06-26T03:58:55.164+03:002017-06-26T03:58:55.164+03:00I love reading your posts, Dave.

Praying for the safety of those bringing better safer water access.<br /><br />I grew up with getting water from a spring. even on our own land, there was still a lot of water needed for 8 people. and then the water for the cows had to be carried from the stream in a different direction.<br />So I know what this kind of situation is like.
