A Rainbow in VUKOVAR



So we got some rain on our trip as you may have read in my last post. Here is a cool rainbow as seen from the front window of Agape Church.







I have been going to Vukovar since 2003. I have seen change. The water tower (Thanks Mark for the next pix) is a national symbol... when I take people to Vukovar, I see this symbol... it reminds them of their survival... (see previous post about surviving in a poem)


But I saw two other symbols this year in the two groups I help show around... here is one where flowers have been planted in a yet to be repaired building... (if anyone from EE07 can send me a better pic of this from the sunny day we had, I would be grateful)


Then there is this one... it is simple. As I led a group from Budapest, I told them that I thought this is a real symbol...

The tank shell blasted through this wall... it has been bricked up... my umbrella might give you a sense of its size... I noticed so much of this on this trip... repairs... not finished... just patched...

But you know, there is real hope there... Princess Lea's parents are there... making a difference... Charles is there... making a difference... so now... I think the rainbow is a kinda new symbol for Vukovar for me... people caring for one another... (yes, I know... there is still hate and will be for a long time but there is hope) Jesus is so there...

TODAY IN Bp

Here in Bp, it rained today, high temp was 69!!! Eat your heart out East Coast!!!! So I'm reading Volf this morning on the 4 - 6 tram and here is a great qoute:

"So God is a giver [my emphasis] more the way ducks are quackers more than I'm a biker." (Free of Charge, p. 69)

So, I wonder what you can do with this quote without the context?? I'll tell you this, he is talking about our giving to others and why... more from Volf to come...

Sorting through some pix from the EE07 trip, I found this that I wanted to post of the team with the Coppages.

I can't believe that was a MONTH ago!!!
