Wow, the Azusa st. program looks awesome. My wife comes from a Pentecostal background, so this her kind of thing. Unfortunately, we don't get to the west coast too much. I have been, however, making loud hints at my wife about one of these race camps. 180mph would be cool w/ me! Thanks for checking in, and thanks for the encourage ment. I believe that a Fire is going tsweep this country! God bless you and your family, and may your service in the Phillipines be a mighty testament to His Glorious name!!

Hello!! We moved to Colorado from Minnesota. Used to have season tickets - Skol Vikings!!

You're not kidding about those mosquito birds. Don't miss them or the humidity!

Save a car at the racing camp, my husband would LOVE to be racing. I'll hang out with your wife. I love my husband enough to pay for the racing experience. He's an auto mechanic. Perhaps he can not only drive the car, but can work on it too!!

Since we have 6 kids in our home right now (one going off to college in the fall and one moving back in with his dad - sort of a foster kid/bonus child) I think I will have to put the camp on hold for a couple more years. ;)

It's me again. Perhaps one day I can come to Guatemala to the orphanage with you. I went to Haiti on a mission trip years ago. Loved being able to spend time at an orphanage there. Did not want to come back to the states and all the excess that gets in the way of experiencing God in my daily life. It was hard merging back into our society. Part of my heart is in Haiti.
