Lost and Found

First - Thanks to all who prayed for the Heavyweights series - it was cool.

I also appreciate your prayers for my upcoming missions trip to China this fall and also all of the tasks on our building project.

Vacation Update - so after Disneyland Paris - we actually spent one night in Paris and had a total of about 40 hours to cram as much sightseeing as possible. Of course we did the usual Eiffel Tower - Louvre (what an amazing museum - it was cool to see the Mona Lisa up close - but it is surprisingly smaller than you would expect). One of my favorite experiences was one afternoon I had to go out and change some money while the kids and Paula went shopping - I had my map but got turned around and was lost for a little while - just basically walking around in circles - being a man and not wanting to ask for directions, I just decided to stop by a sidewalk cafe and have some espresso -(there are tons of these cafes all over Paris) - it was so cool - just sitting there by myself trying to get re-orientated and then taking a moment to just sit back, relax, and people watch for a little bit. We are an interesting bunch - the human race - we may speak different languages and have different customs but people are basically the same all over the world . As I was taking this time out - It dawned on my that there are times in our lives when we feel lost or get confused - I think one of the best things we can do in that moment is stop, slow down and regroup - God's Word says Be still and know that I am God - think about that.

So, after the coffee- found my way back to our hotel and then it was time to pack up and get ready for our trip to Barcelona and the cruise - more on that tomorrow.

Talk at you soon.
