Off Again

Today half of our family left the country. It is another opportunity for the New York Staff Band to do ministry in other lands -- this time . . . Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Sure wish I could be with them. It is a proud moment to hear our band in another land. Nothing like it! It is a great fellowship among the band itself and trips create memories that are shared and shared and shared again -- even into alumni. Please pray for them. It is hard to sleep in a different bed every night. It is hard thinking of things to say to complete strangers. And it is hard to live with each other for this kind of extensive, pressurized and exhaustive time. I miss them already and they're not even there yet. God bless and use them. We love them.

Tons of Fun

While I am swimming in work . . . running to catch up . . . and jumping with joy -- I'm REALLY exhausted. But it is tons of fun. My work is overwhelming right now, but it is for the Master. I ever must keep that in mind. I am working to inspire. I am working to invigorate . . . and I'm working to witness. Jesus will reign in all things. I pray for strength and for fortitude. I pray for inspiration and creative new ideas and I pray for all who may benefit from a gathering in His Name. It's something like the feeding of 5,000 in Bible days . . . with a BBQ in mind.
