in 15 minutes or so, i will head to the airport here in seattle (by the way, i've been in seattle for the last few days) and hop on a series of planes that will take me to the other side of the world. planes are sort of a modern-torture device to me. i have a generous circumference and i am just tall enough for comfort to completely escape me. sky mall, however, i do enjoy. i like seeing the rediculous things they sell on airplanes.
when the plane lands and the torture subsides, i'll be doing some writing with ywam about some of the things they've got going on in the south pacific, and presumably i'll be sweating. hopefully God will use my stammering tongue and chubby fingers to say/write something that will help convey just a part of what He is doing in this world to bring his children home.
this journey will last for about three months, take me to about 8 different countries and dump me into an unknown number of situations for which i fell totally unprepared. but that is kind of the way i like it. i like being a little unprepared. i like having to rely and depend on something bigger than me to put things in order. there is probably a great deal of God's grace that has been missed because we have been too prepared. of course, that works both ways. no preperation can get in the way of God's moving in our lives.
with this adventure coming up, this blog will again take on the purpose for which it was started: letting people like my mom know a) that i am still alive b) what/where in the world i am c) the stories i have experienced. i feel like i've kind of been drifting a bit on this blog, heck in this world, so perhaps this will help it be more consistent. i'll do my best to be forthcoming and honest, because i would hate to waste your time with things that don't have any heart. inevitably there will be the blogs inspired by exhaustion/insanity that will have the same impact as one i wrote about a specific school of cereal eating. but, i'll just hope to be honest enough to maybe make you think a bit.
Godspeed.

some of you know how much i enjoy the tv show lost. i'm not sure if i'll be able to keep up with the new season. but there is a possibility that one of my planes will crash and i will join the castaways in their mystical and mysterious adventures. so keep your fingers crossed.

Tim - Mom will be so glad to know you are alive and well. She was excited when dad said he heard from you and ran to the computer to get on the in-der-net and linger on your every word.
Celebrated Dad's b-day at Famous Daves. We got him a new tasty snack as for his present - pretzel pillows. (Pretzels filled with peanut butter.) Just add icecream and you get a chubby hubby.
Good luck on your latest adventure! We love you and are praying for you.
