Check out this wickedly cool view of the hurricane. Track it’s progress by clicking the image and leaving the web page up in a tab of your browser like I am. Also, please pray for my beloved Texans and the adopted sons/daughters of Texas.

Getting Robbed in a Foreign Country

// July 23rd, 2008 // No Comments » // Christianity, Economy, Health, Ministry, Travel

I have a former employee at my current church who quit working for us to go on a one-year round the world missions excursion on a bare bones budget. Read his commentary on this trip blog.

The crazy news is that he was robbed at gunpoint in Johannesburg last night and all his possessions were taken. If you can send a few extra dollars his way, instructions are below on how to do it. Here is his story on the robbery:

I Have a Goatneck

I said in April I am preparing to cycle RAGBRAI 2008, and this weekend is part of that preparation. I am riding one of the top 100 rides in America (according to Bicycling Magazine) with my younger brother. Goatneck had 2,350 riders last year. That makes it one of the largest rides in America, though nothing compared to RAGBRAI.

As you may remember from our hospital stay and the update, one of “my little-darlin’s” had an airway event week before last that threatened her life. This morning we went in for the procedure to scope her airway with the anticipation of finding something structurally wrong or possibly some other kind of odd obstruction. After a 10 minute procedure and a short 1 hour recovery, praise God my daughter is fine.

First of all, thank you for your support and interest in how our 15 month old has been doing since her time in the hospital.

We have had 3 doctor visits since we were released, and Sydney is doing well on a day to day basis. Her upper airway has been inspected three times, and all is well there. The inflammation seen below the trachea seems to have lessened to some degree. The ear nose and throat doctor charged us a week and a half ago to “keep her in a bubble” until we could figure out what is going on.
