Fig is an acrostic for Faith in God from Mark 11:22. We as missionaries living in Japan enjoy our FIG in Japanese or In Nihon Go (ING). Here we are figing away in a beautiful country Japan. This started out as a place for family to get updates and pictures but now this goes all over the world. Praise God. May you be blessed as you read my posts. Some funny, some sad, & some really stupid and embarrassing for my family.

Pray for Britt Hume and Tiger interesting stuff
I am impressed when a man can stand up and declare his faith confidently. Britt Hume a very prominent news caster has done just that. We are being brow beaten by other faiths and even the non-Christian "EnviroMENTALism"is outright attacking the Christian faith. Pray for more to be stronger and shine brighter in these last days for Jesus. Japan has a new religion Called ECO ism. It is this huge campaign that corporations are scrambling to propagate for profit and yet not adhere truly to the tenements. Take Toyota, They have a small car that is not "Eco" friendly because of its class, weight, and size. There are no discounts when buying the standard model. Ah! Here is the catch. If you bump the weight by adding custom seats and some other things the car enters a new category earning the right to be called ECO friendly and they can falsely advertise the standard car as able to receive the discounts the government has given. Jesus pointed this out in the faith of the Pharisees in Luke 11:44 "...For you are like hidden graves in a field. People walk over them without knowing the corruption they are stepping on." A Lawyer says, "Wow we take offense in that and you have hurt us in what you said." Jesus responds in Luke 11:46 "Yes I have" and then Jesus goes off on these guys. I sense some cultural tension here and Jesus loosing patience with these guys. I can't believe he's having lunch with them. Although it was a free lunch do you think he got to eat much?
