Better Days

Ryan had his best day so far in Burkina Faso this past Saturday.  He had taken a large supply of eye glasses with him and they had a clinic where these were distributed.  He felt well physically and the mission activity was fulfilling spiritually.  We are thankful to God for blessing Ryan with increased health and strength -- though we know he will need additional medical care for some time to come.  We are also thankful for all the prayers & support that so many have given Ryan. 

Ryan made the decision (with the advice of his physician) to come home on July 11th at 5:00 p.m. -- which is this coming Friday -- on Delta Flight 5072.  I am in Washington D.C. and will return a few hours after he gets back to Tulsa.  We pray for his safe travel and look forward to him being home.  He will be speaking on August 10th at Park Plaza about his summer in West Africa and we would love for all you reading his blog to be in attendance at that Sunday evening service.

Tell them the truth Ryan Jones!!! That you used me for a month, while I paid for everything; meals and trips. That I took you on a camping trip, on Valentine's Day, I paid for to help you cope with your brother's death. That on your brother's birthday, you got blackout drunk and I took care of you while you verbally abused me. That I saved your life because you were alcohol poisoned and were chocking on your own vomit. That after you committed yourself to me and told me to hang on while you sort all this out, you then disposed of me like yesterday's garbage. Tell them the truth!!! I am honorable and will defend this any day and anytime!!!! Why don't you tell them what an abusive alcoholic you are and how you can't it get up normally because you sit at home, jerking off to FART PORN (not a joke people SERIOUSLY-he jerked off to fart porn while I watched-HIS request). Don't you fucking dare lie about me when I treated you like gold and cherished you!!!
