Great hearing from you Jack; just getting to my email now...!
I, too, am outta here shortly, so I'll be brief. Tim, Beth, and their daughter were down my way in March, so we were able to hook up for an evening. It was great seeing them. En route back to Jersey, they stopped off at Dan's in Georgia. Apparently Dan will be speaking at a conference in Spain (or was it France?) with David Wilkerson. I think it'll be great for the two of them to meet.
Yea, my family and I moved to Deland
last year. We're happy to be a part of the local church here, and our son
attends a wonderful Christian school (locally, thank God!).
Gotta go; I'll have to check out cybermolinos later this evening or manana.
God bless,
Tom

I was pleased to read the recent postings on Cybermolinos. It's
encouraging to see the Lord's faithfulness over the years as expressed in the
various updates. Jack West once said to me, "The Lord's keeping power is just as miraculous
as His saving power." The Lord has led each of us in such diverse paths.
Regarding the Bellomo clan... Martina, Tommy, and I recently made a big move...
8 miles... to our current location in Deland, Florida. It's a better environment
for our son's formative years (he's 6; a millennium baby). Also, we're now just
down the road from our church and Tommy's school. We're grateful to the Lord that he's able to
attend a faith-based academy where our values will be reinforced.
My wife teaches English as a Second Language (ESL) at the same
college where I work. She works part-time; what's ideal is that her classes
start after our son is in school and finish before he gets home;
additionally, most of the holidays are in sync for us three, so we're often off from
work/school the same days. I teach English for Academic Purposes (EAP) at
Daytona Beach College. It's Torremolinos revisited in that I don't have to
"Go into all the world," but all the world comes to me! I'm keeping
tally, and to date I've taught students from over 100 different countries.
The Lord has been gracious to grant opportunities to share Him with
students as there's a fair measure of freedom in a higher education setting.
(Why allow only the liberals to exploit this freedom?)
In my twenty-one years since returning from Spain, I have had my ups
and downs. But as Cybermolinos testifies, God has been faithful.
"Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come. Tis grace has
brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home." We'll have our
grand reunion someday in eternity and we'll recount with joy God's
deliverance over our momentary light afflictions. It'll all be worth it!
[Isaiah 46: 4].
