“Go Ye”

In the Kona bay each week the cruise ships came in with the sunrises and departed with the sunsets.  The passengers coming ashore to discover what this port had in store for them.  It seemed like our assignment on the big island was too soon departing.  Our discoveries beyond what we had anticipated.   All the time and hard work was worth the investment of all the lives we were privileged to meet across the campus.  The nations responding to the Go Ye and stepping into the realm of faith that can move mountains.

Different languages all speaking the same Jesus.  Departing, I felt we had an opportunity to participate with lives impacting our world and truly be world shakers.

Work now done, on to Honolulu to celebrate our 50^th anniversary week, Ross and Lynn Burke met us at the airport with pea cocky and myle leis (special leis for anniversaries and weddings) along with a large basket of goodies.  All week they treated us royally and made our days special from Oceanside dinners and melt in your mouth Portuguese malasadas doughnuts.

A divine gift …. We were sitting on the balcony of the Hale Koa.  Suddenly, a beautiful white pigeon swooped down and perch with one leg on our balcony’s ledge appearing to be one legged. So white you would have thought it was a dove.  It stayed perch like it wanted to join us.   After resting for a long time, the glistening white pigeon dropped a protected stubbed leg and lifted away in flight.

As the ships have come and gone in the Kona bay and now in Ohau watching the beauty of this feathered gift on our balcony  they are both silent reminders of the brief purpose we have until we need to also leave to new places.  We will mount up in the wings of a much larger mechanic bird to reach back to our home destination.
