bitter cold

The picture is proof that it's been cold here for at least a week -in the 40's with rain and snow on mountains.

Let this cold picture remind us all to pray for e in Italy. After four years in Austria his appeal process ran out. Overnight he had to leave a place of belonging or risk deportation. The risk of being killed if returned is too great. Despite the incomprehensible longing to be with his wife and child. He has gone undergound and is now in Rome where winter is coming. He sent me an instant message today.

"Dear sir, calvary blessings! I don't know when you will visit rome. please sir kindly assist me with cold winter clothing. please don't let my request offend you, because noone to ask and because I trust you. God bless"
