Aka: Pat Kashtock. Mother of three, wife of one. BA in Social Work and Biblical Studies. Graduate work at Virginia Tech interrupted, then derailed by oldest child’s brain tumor...

My life has not followed the course I planned. But I am not complaining. Pain is to be expected in a world broken apart from its Creator.

The miracle resides in the ability to find joy when least expected...

For What It's Worth

Each life is a journey. The voices of many guides try to direct us, saying, “This is the path – walk in it!” Yet each one leads in a different direction.

I believe only one Voice can be true. That Voice will lead us in ways most unexpected, into worlds yet undiscovered. It will lead us up the hill, around the river and through the forest. And sometimes, it will lead without mercy.

Or so it seems.

I have made listening for that Voice and following it, my life’s quest. I will share some of what I have heard that Voice say with you. But I am not in the business of telling people how to think or what to believe. Each has to decide for himself. Only you can decide if you find the truth of the Voice in these words. And only you can decide how much it is worth to know the Voice, and follow.

But for me, it is worth the whole world.

And then some…

Chinese police angered by your response

From a recent newsletter from China aid:







ChinaAid

 

"We Felt the Reality of Your Prayers"

Shuang ShuyingOn January 28, Hua Zaichen was rushed to the ER, hovering between life and death. He has been clinging to live in the hope that authorities will allow him to see his wife, Shuang Shuying, one last time. Shuang Shuying, 79, has suffered in prison for almost two years on fabricated charges because of her Christian activities.

Since ChinaAid sent out e-mail alerts earlier this month, many around the world have been crying out for justice for this elderly Christian couple. Your prayers and pressure on government authorities are powerful and effective. Hua Zaichen's son, Pastor Hua Huiqi said, "We felt the reality of the prayers of many brothers and sisters."

Officials have become so nervous about the international attention, that they even sent a police officer to the hospital to see if Hua Zaichen was still alive, fearing they would be held responsible for his death.

We have a window of opportunity to further pressure the Chinese government to act justly by our refusal to give up. Will you continue to let your "voice" be heard for the immediate release of Shuang Shuying from prison? Your action is making the difference. Please forward this e-mail to your family and friends and ask them to join you in this cry for justice.

Help now.

 Photo Shaung Shuying and her family

Shuang Shuying and her family have suffered persecution for many years. She and her husband took this photo with their son and daughter-in-law before Shuang Shuying's imprisonment.

Important News Update: Your voice has been heard in Beijing.

Shuang Shuying was sentenced to prison because when she was attacked by police in a government office, her walking cane flew out of her hands and struck office equipment. The police accused her of damaging government property. However, the real reason for her imprisonment was to punish her family for their Christian faith.

On Thursday, January 29, Shuang Shuying’s husband was rushed to the hospital. He struggles to hold on to life in the hope that authorities will allow him to see his wife before he dies. Due to prayers and international pressure, officials are becoming nervous, and we have a window of opportunity to press them to act justly and release Shuang Shuying.

For many years, this elderly couple has made great personal sacrifices to care for the persecuted in China. Now, they are the ones who need help. Will you help bring justice for this family in their hour of greatest need?
