	Step of Faith
	February 6, 2008 by Carla Carver   The sun rose this morning in the East, but this morning I was watching. At work, this is not an easy thing to do, but I felt drawn to the breaking rays. I watched the silent ball of light rise effortlessly in the sky and thought, thank you Lord, this is beautiful and I needed to see your glory. Back to my position on the line to stand and do my days work, but my mind was elsewhere. Today I was being baptized. The Encarta Dictionary defines it as to sprinkle or immerse somebody in water as a sign that the person has been accepted into the Christian faith. Funny how this world changes the appearance of things to suit it’s purpose. The Bible has more to say about the act of baptism and that was on my mind.
	Mercy Ships Kathy Lusco
	August 23, 2007 by Kathy Lusco and Corinne Roberts   Last June Kathy Lusco put her things in storage and flew to Ghana. She left home and family to serve for seven months in a medical mission where she knew no one and was unsure exactly what was ahead of her.   Kathy served as an RN aboard the Mercy Ship Anastasis. The Anastasis had been an Italian luxury liner retrofitted as a hospital ship, and actually functioned as a floating community. Not only did it contain three operating rooms, a recovery room, and other spaces in which to deliver medical services, it was a home away from home for its staff and personnel and sometimes their families. More than just places to eat and sleep, the facilities included a library, post office, bank, and school. Children as young as 18 months up to and including folks in their seventies lived and worked and went to school aboard the Anastasis.
