Good Monday morning. It was a long day yesterday filled with so much activity that it is now early Monday morning before I have time to do the blog.

Last Thursday began an amazing journey of a different front. Branden has been suffering with continual headaches for several months. He has tried to live with them and has tried many things. On Thursday a Chiropractor stopped by the work site and gave a short treatment. He returned on Saturday and did an hour long treatment. Branden's DR. recommended that he try Acupuncture. So yesterday after a very full morning worship service we visited a Dr who administered the treatment.

Then we left and drove to the building site for a dedication service. The second home is about to start being done by a contractor. After the service we all traveled to a Noddle Restaurant where we sat on the floor and ate cold buckwheat noodles and trimmings.  

Branden was not able to eat because we were traveling to Seoul to have a late night MRI. When we arrive at the hospital the technician said perhaps we should do a CT Scan as well. It will show if there is any bleeding. That was quickly done while we waited for the MRI machine. Soon he and the interpreter were gone to the Lab. When they returned the MRI was completed and he also did a MRA. This scan checks for damaged blood vessels we were told.

About mid night we walked out of the hospital with two DVD's containing the images of all the scans. It was a long drive back to Chuncheon and we rolled into bed at about 2:00 AM.
We praise God for the remarkable way He opened doors for us to have these tests and treatments. God is Good, All the Time.


When we arrived at church this little bird needed a rescue. He got into the church but could not find his way out. Grace caught him and released him.
