If you aren’t familiar with Dan Starcevich, he is a world class theologian. And he’s a good guy!

Enjoying immensely the time with the family. The kids have told us on at least three separate occasions “thank you for bringing us to the beach”. I want to say thank you to all who have prayed and supported this.

Monday: Gaslighting the Slowburn

I don’t normally agree with Catholic Bishops, but he nailed this. Hard.

Craziness down south. Will the Biden administration support this “democracy” movement?

Just received a phone call that my son Ezra, his wife, and their four kids were on a boat on the Amazon that caught fire, exploded, and sank. They escaped with only their lives and the clothes on their backs. Not everyone on the boat made it. They are now without passports and paperwork. Praise for deliverance. Prayers for provision.

Riverboat update. Ezra and family lost phones, tablets, wallets, clothes, and vital documents. They were halfway to Benjamin Constant from Manaus (five-day trip) when an explosion occurred on the boat. They are now on a military boat taking them back to Manaus. They expect it will take two months or more to replace their documentation, passports, etc. If interested in donation information, please connect with me at leebrainard@soothkeep.info.

Riverboat deliverance update.
We are still only getting snippets of information. We had heard that they were on a military boat taking Ezra, Joanna, and the kids to Manaus, but the military boat dropped the not seriously wounded off in the town at Uarini, AM, Brazil and continued on their journey with those who had significant medical needs. The townspeople gave them shelter, clothes, and food. Here is their temporary shelter in Uarini.

We are expecting that Joanna will be able to call her mom some time today and give her the full storie. Most details are still lacking.

Riverboat update sent by Joanna's mom. A fuller update will come out later.

"I just got off the phone with Joanna. It was a COMPLETE miracle! They and passengers jumped from the burning boat and survived. They are WELL right now. The gospel has been going out. I am going to transcribe what Joey told me and it will be a bit jumbled but it is just the work of the Lord that they are alive. Thanks so much for your prayers.
Everyone has a story Joanna said, but people are singling them out because they had the largest family and the youngest baby. Joanna said she was preaching the gospel on the shore and didn’t know where Eric was or Ezra."

I don’t have a crystal ball, but I do have my Bible and common sense. What happens when an unstoppable force (the people) meets an immovable object (the system)?

Collateral damage.
