I'd wanted to post this short video tribute when we heard Allen had died, but with the internet off for most of the past week and only the use of a slow cell phone modem, I wasn't able to post it. So I prayed tonight that God would please get my internet working so I could talk to Scott via Skype while he is gone and now it works! God really does care about the little things.
It's been a bittersweet day with Scott on a plane back to the states while I stayed finished up a novel due tomorrow that I'd planned to dedicate to Allen. Much of the inspiration for this story came from him and from books in his wonderful library. What brings me joy is knowing he is in a much better place. Thank you so much for all the precious words of encouragement from so many of you. What a blessing to know so many people are praying for Janelle and her family as begin a new season of life.
Be blessed today!

Oh Lisa! We are praying for you all and wish we could take all the pain away. What amazes me is that God knew and prepared your family to take over. I truly believe that he will give you all you need to get through this sad time and continue to grow his kingdom in Africa. WE love you, Kerrie
