Back from Mexico...

Megan and I have returned from a great trip in Acuna, Mexico. We're still recovering from the week and a 3 a.m. wake up call so that we could make our trip back to the U.S., but I'll be posting thoughts and comments about our experiences and encounters as time allows. I will say quickly, though, that great things happened!

One Week to Go...

This time next week Megan and I will be in Acuna, Mexico for our first mission trip together. We head out next Saturday around noon and are both very excited. Today our church, Promised Land, prayed for us as well as Robby who will be spending the summer in Slovakia doing ministering to students throughout the country. Interestingly enough, another oppurtunity has come up for me to return to Mexico next October through a trip that Promised Land is organizing. Megan can't make the trip because of school, but we're trying to discern whether or not I should go. This is an exciting time, and we are thankful that God has used Southeastern to broaden our view of ministry and develop a heart to go outside of the United States. Six more days to go!

By the way, a number of people have asked me where Acuna is located. I looked it up on a map and the closest city I could find is Sonora, TX. Acuna is just south of Sonora, which is just south of El Dorado... if anyone knows where those cities are.

Andy sent this my way today- I don't know if I've ever enjoyed hearing opera more (or seeing something on reality TV).

I've been saying this for years!

I saw this link on Dr. Black's blog and have felt that a good straw hat should return as a regular part of a man's wardrobe.

Baseball Season is Here!

In honor of the Braves' spring training game being on TV friday, as well as being a newly hired assistant coach for the Franklin Academy baseball team, I can only express my excitement for baseball being back in the following 5-second video (from Rookie of the Year):

Let's just hope I don't have any episodes like this as a coach...
