Dear friends,

I want to thank all of you who answered my little survey about "cursing" in church. About 50 of you responded and most all of you shared comments. I was very interested to hear your comments, thank you so much.

Of those that responded, 65% of you said cursing never should be allowed in church, 35% said yes, depending on the situation. I could do the political thing and play it safe playing both sides but you know me, for better or for worse, I say what I think.

I grew up in a day when the Lord's house was just that. When we went to the Lord's house we had a great respect for the fact that it represented a holy place. We dressed up out of respect to the King of Kings. Cursing would never have happened, for any reason, in God's house.

Having said that, I know that we have to be creative and we at times need to do drastic things, to reach the lost. I have often said I would cross over into hell to save a soul and at times I have done that. As the church at times, while maybe not crossing the line all the way, we need to put one foot inside hell to reach someone. I could see things done and said at an outreach type event, to reach the lost that might be close to that line. Jesus did a few line crossings in His day.

I loved one comment from someone who said "son, why did you curse, where did you hear that?" The little boy said "in church." It puts a different light on the subject.

I will have more questions from time to time, thanks!

I am in my last day in Ohio. Tomorrow I head to the great state of Washington, Seattle to be exact. I am looking forward to sharing the ministry of what God is doing in Haiti and meeting new friends.

It has been a wild week here at the Jeanty's. Calvin goes to school at 8, Kk goes at 12, they both get picked up at 3, Marco goes to college 1-4, DeAnna works 11pm - 7am, Marco works 430-10pm............and so on and so forth. I have tried to give relief to Marco and Dee by doing the driving so I have been busy.

They are doing a wonderful job with their family and doing what it takes to support them and get an education. I don't know how they do it.

I will mention that they so badly need another vehicle as they would save so much gas from taking each other back and forth. If you are within driving distance of Cincinnati, and have an older car that is not in use that you would like to donate, that would be such a huge blessing to them. Let me know will ya?

Little Kaylyn goes to therapy today, (she had a stroke when she was young) and is getting a leg brace. She is worried about that but will be fine.

I am in daily contact with my staff and family in Haiti and they are doing fine, although they claim they miss the old fat white guy for some reason. Take care, tom
