Many people are confused as to where the buck stops.\u00a0 I will explain.\u00a0 The confusion, of course, comes from the multiple meanings of the word \u201cBuck.\u201d Buck can mean a male, perhaps a deer or a man with the name of Buck, or it can be slang for money, or a euphemism for a responsibility.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the sake of poetic license, let\u2019s call one of the guys in this picture Buck.\u00a0 Buck is a good name for him because he has a piece of buckshot inconveniently placed under his skin. He claims that it isn\u2019t as fun as it sounds. I wonder if he will think his new name is funny. Hmm, maybe I\u2019ll just keep it to myself. Anyway, this Buck does not stop here.\u00a0 This Buck will stop at the hospital in town. Buck is fortunate to be able to ride to town in a helicopter and be at a hospital within an hour of leaving the village.\u00a0 If it wasn\u2019t for the helicopter it would take Buck two days to get good medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buck is English slang for a dollar.\u00a0 What makes Helicopters fly? Bucks! Generous people gave to provide the helicopter, a pilot, and a funds to help with medical flights.\u00a0 Today, these bucks did stop here.\u00a0 At other times these bucks stop in other places.\u00a0 We really appreciate these bucks and the people who gave them. A big thank you to all who support the Ethnos360 aviation program. (www.ethnos360aviation<\/strong>.org)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A buck can also be a responsibility.  I have the responsibility of translating the\nBible into the southern Isnag dialect. This week that buck stopped in our living\nroom.  These three ladies have been helping\nme with the first draft of 1st<\/sup> Corinthians.  It is a real privilege to have this \u201cbuck\u201d\nstop here.  Thanks again to all who pray\nand give.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer and Praise:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • \u201cBuck,\u201d the man, did not have any internal\ninjuries and has recovered quickly.<\/li>
  • Our co-worker, Vicky has returned from furlough\nand is excited about getting back into ministry.<\/li>
  • The three ladies who worked as translation helpers\nworked well together and provided very good help.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Thank you for your prayers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
