whelp, here we go...

It's 1 a.m.  In a little over three hours, my journey to Mississippi begins.

In hopes of sleeping on the plane, and due to being way too wired, I'm not hitting the sack tonight, so coffee will most likely be the order of the day.

There are moments in life where you stop for a second, say, "WOW," and really let it fully hit you just how amazingly good and sweet life and God have been to you.  Are being to you.

I am amazed at the joy these past few weeks have brought me. And, as if that's not enough, I am so happy that the door to this opportunity in Mississippi swung open wide and I get the chance to go love on some folks who need it this week.  I know that there's absolutely no way I can't come back with a bigger heart.  And man... I want that.

I really would appreciate your prayers for me and the team this week.  Pray that we would be a blessing and that because of us people would sense God's nearness and his love.  There's an awful lot of hurt in the world, especially there in Bay St. Louis.  If we can bring some restored hope along with restored houses, we'll have been a success.
