First of all, I forgot my camera so no pictures. Sorry about that. The golf tournament was a huge success raising money for scholarships through The Ruckus House. Ruckus House is the vision of Mike Minter (check out his website, it’s very cool), Mike Rucker, and Muhsin Muhammad (he’s also adopted from Ethiopia). These guys are amazing and their heart for the orphan and the poor.

After the event we stayed at the dinner hanging out with the football players who were there. Many expressed interest in really doing something to help orphans in Africa, they even want to go on a trip which I’ll likely organize in the fall/spring.

I can’t say enough good things about Mike Minter. He’s a solid Christian that believes in giving back. He’s used his influence as an NFL player to help others, and to establish businesses that make money so he can pour it back into God’s business. I was inspired by what he’s doing with his life and had a great time with him at his home outside Charlotte.

With only three hours of sleep, I got up at 3:30 am Colorado time to catch a flight back home. I’m totally exhausted and have a day to recover before I head out to Washington DC tomorrow to speak at several events and meet with Senator Inhofe from Oklahoma who has a huge heart for Africa and travels there ever year.

Pictures next time, I promise!
