Have you seen my stuff???

OK, its Sunday night. I'm watching Hawaii 5-O and being a slob. I have yet to begin packing...make that yet to begin assembling my stuff to get ready to pack. I'm fairly certain I should be freaking out about this, but I just cant muster the energy for that right now. I'm tired.

Tomorrow will be a frenzy! That's what I'm telling myself, but I bet I look more like the fat lineman from Green Bay who ran one in for a touchdown today...lots of action, but little progress. (Yikes, the dog just passed gas and its pretty bad!)

Tomorrow is also a special day...my lovely friend and helpmate and co-director of family affairs, celebrates a new decade. I dont know how she does it, but she is far more captivating and beautiful than she was 20 years ago when we first "hooked up." Without her support and encouragement this or any other trip just wouldn't be possilbe. I'm so thankful God has given me a wife that always wants and works to make me better at following the footsteps of Jesus.

If you have a few minutes in the next 2 weeks, check back in and hear about the progress we're making on our trip. We are returning to Cali, Colombia to ascend the Andes Mountains to camp el Coro to finish the wiring project we started last year and to replace at least one floor of a camp building. If you have a few more minutes, why not take the time to say a prayer for us too. Nothing worth doing can be accomplished without the prayers of God's people. Who knows, one of these days you may be on one of these trips with me and find yourself relying on the prayers of folks back home!

And speaking of folks back home, God has really burdened my heart with a project for us to do in Paducah. When I get back, I will be in contact with the Habitat for Humanity folks to see what we need to do to get a build going in our neck of the woods.

Time to go switch out laundry. By for now.
He Has Made Me Glad!
