Today I sat here and pondered with my assistant the fact that William Carey labored for so many years before seeing fruit. I marveled at Carey's faithfulness to the task he was called to despite not seeing fruit for a long time. He wondered if he would be able to persevere for years like Carey did. Then I realized that yesterday I got to talk to a legacy of William Carey's. Right here with me stood an Indian man who teaches at the college William Carey established. Wow, you talk about a legacy.

As for God providing, He did just that. Jon started his new job on Monday and so far seems to love it. This is the most excited I have seen him about anything in a long time. God is good.
