a beautiful hermeneutic [hur-muh-noo-tik]

After 44 hours of travel, we are now back home. I look forward to posting more over the next couple of days. Thanks for all of your prayers. Many great things happened. We left our hearts with the people of India.

i am posting this from a small room inside out hotel in Hanmakonda. We finally got here last night after 2 days of travel. My days and nights are still a little off (we are 11.5 hours ahead), but I think my body will be adjusted after another nights sleep. Culture shock really doesn't do justice what we have experienced already. I have already taken 2 gigs of pictures/video so I will have plenty to show when we get back. We are staying right in the Hindu/Muslim political center. Mike said he has avoided staying at this hotel for 3 years for obvious reasons. We got out of our jeeps today and their were 6 muslim men, a couple holding uzi's. I can't say i will get used to that before we leave. As far as American standards go, this town is a dump. The bathroom and the dumpster are all the street. The roads are terrible and the building are all half finished. Regardless of the conditions in which these people live, they are some of the most amazing and kind hearted people you wi...

Jesus paid it all all to him I owe sin had left a Crimson stain He washed it white as snow We are off. We pray for the Harvest, Peace, and reconciliation.

Our trip to India is only 11 days away. God is already moving and doing some amazing stuff in our lives. When I have a couple of minutes to write more, I will. This is a video I edited from the last e3 trip to Banjara-land. This will give you an idea of where we are going.   For His glory

What can I say, we pick up right where we left off. I love these guys so much. Below is a little video tribute to the weekend. Here is a quick synops: I got to Minneapolis Friday afternoon and had some time to walk around downtown and just chill until Keith and Dan got there. Downtown Minneapolis is a great place to be, as I figured out last year at the Desiring God conference. There are lots of places to eat, bookstores, pubs, shops, music, everything. We went to an Irish pub Friday night once the boys got into town and we just talked and caught up for a couple of hours. Good times! Saturday, Keith and I went down to Caribou Coffee for breakfast while Dan stayed disciplined, running 5 miles in the hotel Gym. After that, we went over to Gameworks (like Dave and Busters) to watch some football, eat lunch, and play some games (you can see me schooling Dan in some Air hockey on the video. To be fair, he rocked us both in pop-a-shot). After that, we decided to take the train to look for a ...

The first annual MAN weekend is here! The week started out with a trip to Houston, and is ending with me in Minneapolis with my bros Keith and Dan (otherwise known as the big show). I don't have words for how excited I am about this weekend. Saturday we are going to see Purdue pound on Minnesota in the dome, and then Sunday we are heading over to John Piper's church. I couldn't script this any better. Let the smelly manness begin!

I took Annie skydiving on Saturday for her birthday. Rather then trying to explain the experience, you can watch it here: Saturday we kicked it old school with a small group slumber party. A little Balderdash, a few Saved By The Bell episodes, lots of candy and cake, and a few rip roarin games of Pit. It was like we were in junior high again, except with a few less zits. I will post some pics from that another day.
