The good news is that I did to take my family on several of these trips which is always a relief to me. Whenever I can combine what I do with who I am, it's a blessing. (Think on that sentence for a minute!) A couple pictures of those trips are at the bottom. Hayden (our oldest) made the Olympic Development Team. We're so excited for him. That will put us at the ODP tournament in Portland, OR late May. His soccer team is currently ranked 25th in the nation after winning a big tournament in San Diego last month. The rest of the kids have started soccer, lacrosse and basketball this Spring. Needless to say, we have our hands full!

I'm back home now trying to finish the second book in the "Novels with a Conscience" series, Sacred. The first book releases on June 1st, Scared. Pre-sales of this book have been doing very well and that's exciting. The video trailer and website is almost complete. I hope to have those up by Monday and will direct you there. 

I leave to Ethiopia on the 15th with a group of pastors and leaders. The ministry in Ethiopia is exploding and we are so excited to be helping hundreds and hundreds of orphans already in country so desperate. OUr goal for the trip is to locate more orphanages in need and connect them to our programs. I will be posting pictures here and giving updates.

Thanks for sharing life with me. More than ever, I know we are in this cause together. "Pure and undefiled religion is caring for the orphan and widow in their distress." James 1:27. Couldn't do it without you!
