This is who we are....
- Templeton Family
- Andy is an MK from Brasil. Gina is a hometown girl from SE Wisconsin. We met in Waukesha, fell in LOVE...well, that is the beginning of a long story, that won't fit into this spot. Since that day, we have been living and moving, and living, and moving, and yes moving some more! We have served 6 yrs in Brasil, and 4 yrs in Thailand. In both countries our main focus has been on the education and discipleship of high school students. Now we are working with college students. Our desire is to help them know the Lord better. We are serving at Ethnos Bible Institute in Waukesha, WI. Andy is the Dean of Education, and Gina is overseeing the campus library. We are privileged to be discipling the next generation of Christian leaders who will serve the Lord in foreign countries and in their local communities.

Where will your path lead?
This morning I find myself cutting fabric and listening to the i am second videos. If you have not gone to the website or ever heard of it, I do encourage you to go there and see what they are all about, at www.iamsecond.com
I clicked on the video of the Robertson family giving their stories and it was so good. I am reminded to "Keep on talking about Jesus". Often times, something will come up in our house that brings on one of those conversations about life and the way we choose to live it. After we go round the round with each other, one of the boys will often say, "I know what you are gonna say and it always has to do with God", or "why do you always bring God into every conversation we have"....my constant reply is...."because HE is in everything I AM and I can't live or talk like I am apart from Him."
I was reminded this morning to KEEP ON KEEPING ON....even when I don't want to, or even when I don't see the other side.
Life is short...
and as Phil Robertson says....
"We all go 6 feet deep in the end and that's a fact!"

Meeting God in the everyday activities of life
RUST...
This morning while doing up the dishes, I found my favorite tongs in the bottom of the sink. Now, to some that might be perfectly normal and you are thinking what is the big deal...well, this particular pair of tongs is pron to RUST....yes....RUST! I should probably just get rid of them, but I just can't seem to part with them. They have been with me for 25 yrs now, through many of lifes changes, and they have traveled the world with me on all our journeys, from Brasil, to Thailand and then back again to the USA.So, back to the rust on the tongs....I am able to clean them, and if I keep them dry, the rust is kept at bay...but this particular day, they were not kept dry and cleaned and kept in the right place, and when I picked them up from the bottom of the sink, I noticed that they not only rusted over night, but they contaminated one of my good knives that was laying under them. The rust spread to a perfectly good item. NOW, I not only have a very irritating pair of tongs that rust...but that rust spread to another.
I am reminded by God in the stillness of my kitchen sink that our lives can be like that rust. We can be useful, yet have a speck of rust in us, that if kept in it proper place, cleaned often, dried and put away, it will stay at bay and we can enjoy life with a good purpose. YET, if that rust is not taken care of, even in the smallest of things, we can contaminate those around us with it. Even in the simplest of things, like lack of joy, to the big things like unthankfulness, unforgivness and bitterness. We can spread the negative in us to affect others.
So, I ask myself...Am I spreading good things around, or am I like that speck of rust that will ruin and affect those around me with negativity and ruin a good thing for no reason?
