There was a time when a persons value remained fairly constant in the eyes of his or her fellows. Before birth, they were the source of hope to the expectant parents. Their very existence was protected by law. At birth, they became a source of great joy, loved and cared for. Christ even spoke of their virtue. As they grew, they became the workers, warriors, and supporters of society. Older still, they became the leaders, valued for their wisdom. Everyone had a place in society, a place of value and virtue. Perhaps the most amazing thing is that I can remember such a time. Today, the unborn are unprotected. Children are held at perhaps a higher esteem than before, often the recipient of good intentions. The phrase For the children has lost much of its meaning. Adulthood has changed the least, although it seeks to usurp the place of the aged, the source of wisdom. And the older generation is now often considered a burden. Isnt it good that God doesnt view us that way? Think where we would be if God didnt care for us after some certain age, or before we were born. Wisdom should dictate that we return to the standard God has set for us. We should thank Him first that we forever remain His children.

The fall is one of our most favorite times of the year, not because winter is approaching, but because the National Missionary Convention is almost here! This year it is in Cincinnati, one of the closest places (other than Indy) we can attend.

Projects in Progress

We did our second production for Pioneer Bible Translators recently. The Ganongs of PBT in Guinea spent some time with us while we edited for them. I believe we produced a good video explaining their work. They had many good ideas about what they wanted and a great theme already picked out. This is somewhat unusual and very welcome!

We are beginning a project for John Johnson of Gutenberg Ministries. This is the second ministry this year that as part of their work will provide jobs in third world countries. The print shops they will build also will provide much needed printing services for missionaries and evangelists.
