Brooke and Ash Sellers came up to NYC from Australia for their honeymoon. We had them over for waffles with Vegemite. I was actually the only one to try that tasty combo, but the sweet and savory effect was delicious! We offered to bring out the TimTams, but they honored our limited stock.

Joyce and I are bringing folks from our church to be a part of a prayer meeting on Times Square estimated to draw over 30,000 people.

So many prayers were answered on this journey, and so many times we saw God move more mightily than we dared Hope.

Coming through customs an officer asked us if we were carrying any TimTams. We told him we were, and he said, "They're illegal. You ...
