Just thought you might be interested in the latest up-coming event here in Punta Gorda - the celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Coronation of Haile Selassie - a Rastafarian high holiday. One of the local pastors was invited to open the day with prayer, but on reading Salassie's appelations, declined! I'm planning to be out of town on November 2, as the Central Park is more or less in my front yard.

On November 5 the Christians are planning their own little do, with an evening parade and concert with two sermons and altar calls. I guess I'll be around for that one.

Please continue to pray for Rudolph. He has regained consciousness after 4 days but has some damage to the head. We are praying for a full recovery.
