Red Letters

Good Morning from Swaziland. We are off shortly heading for two three care-points today. These kids are the poorest of the poor. Many of them are on the brink of starvation and if it wasn’t for the little bit of Pop (corn maize meal with no nutrition) they wouldn’t be alive. Our goal is to…

We have arrived on the majestic continent of Africa! Simon and I have spent 4 hours trying to upload the video blog tonight in Mbabane, Swaziland. No dice.

Tomorrow, we leave for Swaziland. Our next video post will come directly from the field. Stay tuned to join me on the journey–and be sure to pass this on to all your friends. Download the original version of this movie.

We want this cover to communicate intrigue and mystery. I loved the comment someone made, "this is a mystery novel –exactly!" A mystery that much of the church stands by as 143 million orphans live a life of extreme poverty, and watch. A mystery that there are almost 50 million people suffering from HIV and…

This year I’ve decided to take Lent seriously. Why? Because of what it represents. Lent represents a re-focusing of our lives from the hustle, the business, and the craziness of life. We make some ‘readjustments’ towards things that really matter – Loving God with our whole hearts and loving our neighbor as ourselves. If I…

Only about 10 more days until I board a plane for Swaziland, Africa. There’s nothing that gets me more excited to go than a heart-felt message from Bono. Watch this, and you’ll be inspired too!

Hey everyone. I cannot thank you enough for all the comments you left about the book cover. Truth is, I hated it and couldn’t stand it! Why? It didn’t say anything to me, it wasn’t what I had envisioned, and it was too simplistic. But, being the humble soul I am, (hey, it’s Lent, I’m…
