The Super Bowl on Super Tuesday



I arrived back in Debrecen on Tuesday in time for prayer at ICD International Church of Debrecen. It will be the last time the core group is all there for awhile because Edith left on Wednesday for 2 months in New Zealand. Please pray for her as I just got news her flights have been delayed. She was supposed to be home by now but has only made it as far as LAX. (Los Angeles, CA). Here she as at 3.30 am on Wed ready for the mini bus. She sure packs neatly!!

After the prayer meeting, Syble and I went to the American Corner for a viewing of the Super Bowl. It was broadcast live on Sunday here in Hungary and it was taped to show on Tuesday. Most present had not know the results and as Syble says, WOW the Giants won again! We had a blast, and really got into the spirit of it. We also shared our cheering techniques. Now I knew the final result but those last 3 minutes were a nail biter!! Here is a picture of the Super Bowl group. Syble was able to hand out 8 invitations to ICD and I was asked by one of the young men to meet for conversational english which I will do starting next week. Because the game was taped live, and shown on Hungarian stations all the commentaries were in Hungarian, that was not a huge problem BUT we were disappointed they showed only Hungarian commercials!! We tried to explain how important the SB commercials are to the event -and did get to see them via the internet at home but it is not the same.

I enjoyed the game alot but this year I have been watching more closely the lead up to Super Tuesday. There were some surprises there too and now today, Romney suspended himself. I was not expecting that to happen yet. I hope my absentee ballot made it back to NY in time!

February 4,5 Alpha Holy Spirit Retreat Hollókö, Hungary

Image
Last Friday I traveled to Hollókö, Hungary to meet with my Hungarian friend. Nora. Nora is leading her second Alpha Course in her village. From there we traveled to another village for an overnight retreat.  10 ladies and some children attended. The Holy Spirit was so faithful to demonstrate Himself in our midst giving encouraging words as we prayed together,  refilling some and baptizing some for the first time.  It was a very precious time. If God lays it on your heart please be praying for these ladies. The 10 ladies were from 6 different villages in Nograd county (and me,too). In none of the villages are living churches but most of these ladies are "keys" to living prayer groups. Nora has been working in one of the villages and is now in the process of setting up a small retreat center. After our weekend she took me there to pray. She and her husband were able to acquire a small "prayer" house, which was once a Baptist prayer house which is next to a home they...

We had a really good night last night - kind of...

My brother Jack and his wife Debby just arrived back from Florida where Jack was trying to hide out from having to face a "big" birthday. So my sister Kathi and I decorated his house to welcome him home - and left him a card that said "You can run, but you can't hide! :-). Some of you know Jack by his more common name "No rules for kids, Uncle Jack". Well, mom really enjoyed visiting with Jack and Debby and as a result she stayed up until 10.30. Most nights she can only sleep for about 5 hours tops and even then gets up a number of times. That means I get up with her :-). Night before last that was at 1.30, 4, 6 and 7!! So when this morning I realised I had been able to sleep through the night I was more concerned than relieved. I checked my monitor and yes it was working and finally turned on the light to check and see if mom was ...alive. Do you remember the first night your baby slept all the way through to morning? You awake with a start and run in...

Chocolate chip cookies

Image
My mom who was a very good cook and baker, was famous for her chocolate chip cookies. Since she can no longer make them I took it upon myself to "try" to perfect the recipe. This is my latest attempt. (Last weeks were enjoyable but not in the running) Two brothers independently rated them at 8.5 out of 10 - 10 of course would be just like moms. This score could even climb to 9 depending on how they taste frozen. Mom often baked at night and would leave "some" out on a plate and the rest hidden in the freezer so they would last longer. Of course we figured that out pretty quickly and now prefer them frozen. You may like yours golden and crispy but there is a secret ingredient in these and a way to bake them that makes them soft and oh so yummy!!
