on the go

just returned from a very needed 3 day. i left in a tizzy over work, money, student loans, and life in general. i've returned with more clarity, peace of mind and bruises - my r&r included archery, tennis, volleyball, and windsurfing (all of which i suck at). i've hardly slept in my own bed in the past two weeks. i will leave again tomorrow with our house for a 2 day service project to an orphanage and haitian village in Sosua. this is going to be a rad chance for the girls to see sickness and poverty. i've been teaching a cultural awareness group class this summer - trying to shake them up to how ignorant americans are to other cultures and their societal turmoil. please pray for our girls - that God would stretch their hearts and minds to grasp more than themselves.
