Where my peeps at???

Okay....so that title didn't have anything to do with the blog today.... I just didn't know what else to call it.... This blog has taken longer than any to do.... let me explain.... 

Yesterday around 7ish i began blogging.... To keep it interesting, entertaining, and encouraging I decided to video blog.... Its been 3 weeks since some of you have seen my face I knew you probably hadn't seen anything that good looking in a while... so.... I sat down here with my computer and created a nice video blog telling you about what an idiot I was yesterday..... I know some of you are saying even now..."he just now figured that out??" YES I DID!!! 

Anyway I started uploading the video, and this morning at 7 o'clock it still hadnt finished... Not sure what the problem is but I know the faithful 20 who read every single day needed their fix so I am typing instead...... (if you think you are one of the 20 post a comment and tell me)

The dumb thing I did was jump into a swimming pool with cell phone in my pocket... I swam  about 10 minutes before I realized what I had done...... It was waaaaaaaaayyyy funnier on the video... O well...

Something really cool did happen this morning(Friday am).... Thursday night EST.... I was able to talk with Julie, Chris, Kevin, Shirley, and Zach at praise band practice.... They got skype for the sanctuary so Matt and I can do a live video feed one Sunday... They put me on the big screen and my voice was on the in house speakers.... It was great to hear all of their voices.... 

On my blog roll on the bottom right I added a new blog.... Her name is Anna, for all of you AMRBC folks this is Amy Gans niece who just arrived in Africa to be a 2 year journeyman.... Stop by her blog and encourage her.... She just arrived there yesterday and I know the feeling of racing to the computer to see if anyone thought to write.... Bombard her!!!

One last thought.... it came from my devotion yesterday...... "God is nearer than you think." Just those few words reminded me how much God is with us here... I love Him and couldn't do it without Him..... I am glad He is near.... Be encouraged where ever you are in the world.... HE IS THERE!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I am now one of your twenty. I also have entered a swimming pool with my cell phone. I was taking the kids swimming last year, but the bad thing was that I didn't remember it until about an hour later! That's only one thing I've done to my cell phone and don't ask about the cameras! Steve now buys insurance on any electronic item that I may come into contact with!

I'm a couple of days behind this week, but I normally stop by daily. It's so good to be able to check out what you and Matt are up to.
