• I sat on the brick ledge outside of our church in Ohio, and just soaked in the day. You hear the phrase "this is the day that the Lord has made" so many times, but it's not until a morning dawns such as this one that you fully appreciate the power behind it! I always considered Ohio to be bleak and colorless, but here in the southwestern region, all that preconceived ideas have gone out the window! I can only count a few days as gorgeous as today is! And so I sat there, taking it in, as I spent some time with the Lord.

  It's Monday, and the beginning of the second to last week of my travel year! Dynamite Club started out rough yesterday, but after a lot of prayer and crying out for grace, our evening session with them went SO much better! I love my host family here, Dan and Diane. They are the sweetest people ever, and definitely rank extremely high on my "favorite host people" list. They are such teases, as I found out the other night when we were eating together at the Outback, when the young waiter, Calvin, was making a few passes at me, ending with asking for my number!! I think they thoroughly enjoyed watching me squirm as the guy came and sat NEXT TO ME in the booth we were sitting at! Anyway, fun stories for later!

  "Let us run with endurance the race set before us, looking to Jesus the founder and perfector of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and who is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God."

  It's all about ending this year strong!
