Absentee Blogger

Sorry, I have been out of touch lately. I have been blogging in my mind, I just have not had time to blog for real. Anyway, now with both Stuart Campus trial runs and 14 days straight without a day off behind me, I can breathe and blog. Stuart Campus is up and running for the most part. There are still several little details that need to be taken care of for the big launch next week but I am so confident in our team and most of all, in our God, that I know everything will be just as it should be. We are expecting about 1000- 1200 people for the first few weeks and then most likely it will taper off to about 800. On the way to the church/high school I prayed that God's holy spirit would be felt in that place and that lives would be changed. I sense that God is going to do an amazing work on the Treasure Coast. It is humbling to be a part of it all.

We are excited to be making improvements to the high school we are using. Yesterday we painted and polished. Next week we will bring in potted trees, stock the teacher's lounge with goodies and finish painting. We want to add value to the community and this in one way we can do that.

Really I am too tired to make any sense blogging so maybe I will take a break and come back later.

That is so cool what you are doing for the school! I'm sure that the teachers will appreciate the appreciation. HA!

I can't believe we are just a week or so away from opening a new campus!!

I've been thinking about you and our unique and shared situation, and you all have been in my prayers! I hope we can do "lunch/dinner" soon!!

In Him,

Ponderings that don't deserve a post of their own...

Never before have I been so sweaty, sticky, and stained and cared so little. On a sign in the ladies room at the US Consulate: Help keep our environment clean: Please keep your feet on the floor and not on the toilet seat. What the ...? My new diet and exercise plan - parenting twins. Hong Kong - ultra firm mattress, barely uncomfortable. Nanchang - surprisingly plush mattress, just right.  Guangzhou - what mattress? it really should be called a platform or plank.   Loving the people, marketing and salesmanship skills of the Chinese shop owners. I wonder if they have attended a John Maxwell seminar. He is popular here, you know. One would think that the country that built this thoroughly modern skyscraper , the second largest in the world, could come up with a way of making the tap water potable. Why are there so many Chinese people wandering around the hotel in their robes? Note to self - do not shake a baby bottle filled with very hot formula. Question:...

I really thought I would have time to blog everyday on this "once in a life time trip" but in reality, yesterday I did not even have time to brush my hair and I have yet to wash it since getting the twins on Sunday. So as I sit here on Tuesday evening I want to remember and record all that has transpired since the girls were first placed in our arms but I am sitting in a dark hotel since Abbi and Livi are asleep in their cribs just 10 feet away.  The near darkness make me want to crawl under the covers and fade into dream land. So, the remedy is going to be a bulleted list which I will try to expand on later. "Try" is the operative word here. Gotcha Day was traumatic for the girls but they soon calmed down and just eyed us with suspicion for the evening. Prior to getting the girls there was a two hour meeting to discuss feeding and caring for the babies and the itinerary. Monday was paperwork day. The first office was where the adoption became official. ...
