What's going on...
This next trip will be to Romania, Ukraine and Uganda
As excited as I am about the whole trip, we've been faced with some interesting challenges. While in Romania we have two meetings that have been keeping me up at night.
One is with the director of a ministry that works in many countries around the world doing children's ministry. We want to explore the relationship between the Book of Hope and their ministry. How they could use the Book of Hope to reach out to students that we cannot reach.
The other meeting is with a District School Director. Basically this is the person who can give us permission to go into all the shools in his district. Possibly thousands of schools, and hundreds of thousands of kids could receive the Book of Hope with his approval.
Uganda is now called the "Birthplace of Aids" Many people believe that it can be traced back to a single town. Please pray for our team as we enter a culture almost destroyed by this deadly disease.
So maybe excitement isn't the killer, but the promoter. Either way, I keep waking up before my alarm, ugh.

Change is the only certain thing.
If life was certain then it wouldn't be any fun. There wouldn't be any adventure, no surprises no twists and turns. When I arrived here in Florida thinking that I would be travelling to India this Spring, I was shocked to find out that instead, we'd be going to Romania, Ukraine and Uganda. I guess India will have to wait.
Imagine what it would really be like knowing our future, knowing where you're going, who you'll meet and what will happen. It's comforting knowing that even with the crazy world we live in, there is God who looks at us and smiles, cries, grieves and maybe even shows us off to a few of his friends. It's nice to know that my life is safe in his hands, my life is unstoppable until his goal is accomplished with this me in this world. It's good going to sleep at night knowing that there's someone next to me helping to figure out what it's all about, giving me a purpose and a calling.
At least, that's what I think. Hope you like the pictures!

2% or Nuthin!
Whoever dared to come up with the idea of 1% or fat free milk should be shot. Not necessarily with a gun, but maybe with a really big rubber band. Ugh. Just the thought of watery milk is really gross. I guess I shouldn't be biased or anything. But for the real enjoyment of drinking milk, it's best when it goes down heavy. Mmmmmm.
Christmas is over. It looks like all the malls and shopping centers are filled with people looking for bargains and returning items left and right. I am so glad that for my family and I we know the real meaning of what this time is about... PRESENTS!! No not really. When you take away the gifts and the tree and the lights, I still have my family. I still have a wonderful family that loves and supports and cares for each other. That joy comes from Jesus Christ. The fact that God lives in each one of us unites us as a family. So I guess this entry isn't really all that much about 2% or what, it's about how grateful I am for the amazing people I have in my life.
On my way to hug my mom...

Hot Key Heroes
I always wanted to name a band that. HKH. Man that would be so cool.
I'm trying my hardest to get some pictures onto this site. I have some good ones from Africa and other places, but I just need to edit them and get them going. I love what I get to do. Meeting people from other countries and teaching kids about decisions and choices. It's amazing to see how much of an influence America has on so many other nations. The youth in other countries unfortunately are looking to us for answers and guidance. They see us on TV and they think that's how we all live. Perfect family, perfect home, nice cars, lots of money and all our problems are solved within thirty minutes. If there is anyone out there in the US with that kind of life please let me know, a lot of kids in other countries would like to meet you.
I'm heading to Romania and India in the Spring time. I'm excited about both of those places. My mom is already telling me about all the things I can bring home to her from India. Great.
Ok.
Hot Key Heroes. With the title track "Shortcut"... yah rock on.
