As I noted on the Prayer Page, this past week we hosted a fellow named Jay Paul. He is a professional photographer sent to Asia to spend time in various cities and locations to develop a body of photos for C.B.F. This was a great experience for me. In just a few months we will have lived in Macau for 10 years. 10 YEARS! I can hardly believe it.

Over the years that which is unique and special about Macau has become somewhat routine and common to us. There's nothing wrong with this, it is just the way it goes I guess. So when someone comes along and helps us to see the place and the people as if for the first time it is a true gift. Each day we took Jay around to different areas of town. He also joined us as we worked and taught and interacted with people. He took hundreds of photos and gave us copies of them all. As I have been looking through all these photos my heart has really been touched by the people of Macau. There are wonderful, beautiful characters all over Macau. I hope that we can find a way to share some of the best of these photos with you.

As we looked through the photos we were also surprised to see a fair number of faces we know. Jay didn't take the photos of these folks because we know them. It was only later that we recognized the folks. It was a great reminder that our lives are always on display. It also reminds of the rich blessing of having friends and acquaintances all over town.
