Have you had trouble with your technology? Boy did I ever. I was updating our Things to Do page here on our site using my iPad. I have to tell you that this isn't the best tool for this kind of work, but it was convenient. Well, somehow I touched the wrong thing (and I don't know what I did which is usual when you make this kind of mistake) and wiped out the whole page!
So, give me a hand rebuilding the page. Do you know a great place to go? Do you have a favorite thing to do? Email me at indyintlfriends@gmail.com. Please include links to webpages (copy and paste the link into your e-mail). Better yet, go to our Things To Do and scroll to the bottom and enter your thing to do in the comments!
Thank you for your help!
The above request is conversational. Now, to formally make this same request:
Dear Friends,
Unfortunately I wiped out our Things To Do Page. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Help me rebuild the page by contributing things that you like to do and places you like to visit. Include any links to web pages to help our readers. You can also directly add your Things To Do (click on this link), scroll to the bottom of the page and type in your suggestion in the comments.
Thank you!

In Acts 10, we read the story about Peter having a vision of a sheet filled with all sorts of animals, reptiles and birds being let down to earth while a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." Peter's response? "Surely not, Lord!" In his entire life as a devout Jew, Peter had never eaten anything impure or unclean. Why would God tell him to do such a thing THREE TIMES? What was the message God was trying to drive home to Peter? It had very little to do with food. It had everything to do with accepting non-Jewish (Gentile) people as worthy recipients of the Gospel. God was showing Peter that he was about to cleanse the hearts of people whom Jews considered unclean. Messengers arrived and asked Peter to visit the home of Cornelius, a devout, God-fearing centurion, who prayed to God regularly and helped others who were in need. And Peter went! He entered this Gentile's house and preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Cornelius, along with his family and friends, and baptized them. Thank God that He is able to cleanse all of us from our sins, through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus! Thank Him also for sending His Holy Spirit to live in our hearts!
