I'm always glad to get on here and see what new stuff you are getting into (maybe it be ridiculous landscape or spiritual struggles). However, I really enjoy reading about the spiritual questions you are working through in your head. It is always nice to have a chance to clear you head, but most of those times just provide you an opportunity to see how 'unclear' (for a lack of a better term...remember you're the English major!) your focus on the Lord is. I, as many others, struggle with many of the things you're bring up and it is nice to hear your justification for everything. Great stuff. Anyways, just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you all the time boy and I hope God continues to challenge you for the next fews, because we both know He's got great things for you. Holla. Oh, and you got some Rob and Big's to catch up one! Haha. This is some good stuff, son!

We hope you are feeling better. Nick should be with you on these adventures, sounds like things he likes to do. No caves for me! Get this: 36 years ago, your Dad gave me my engagement ring and then left for Texas for the Army four days later. He did not come back for 11 months. We remember loneliness. He remembers not knowing ANYONE and feeling sick - literally. He was not in a foreign country but Texas seemed pretty foreign at the time. We know you will be OK, learn lots, never forget your experiences. Relax your mind (yeah, right) and take it one day at a time and journal what is happening. Your testimony will be greater than ever before. SO GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU! Keep blogging!

I'll bet my chunky monkey is way cooler than your funky one. We have a date with some waffle fries when you return...no kids. I want to hear about those leprechauns. “Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.” Lamentations 3:22-26 "Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:23-26 I love you. You’re alive! I’ll bet my chunky monkey is way cooler than your funky one.
