letter writing is NOT a lost art.

As most of you know, I am making an attempt to be a world traveler this summer. 

Though I am stoked to leave, I will sorely miss all of you. I'll be sure to update on here and I will do my best to not bore you with only travel stories. I have Skype, but will have limited internet access. Thus, I have provided a link to a list of the addresses of my destinations. If you are so inclined, I would love to hear from you. 

More importantly, I covet your prayers for safety and sanity. 

I'll be gone for 11 weeks, have 6 flights and many train rides.  If culture shock has to happen, I'm hoping it will wait until I get back to the 'Ville. I am so ready to go, and I pray I can be receptive to everything positive and enlightening. I hope to find and be Jesus halfway around the world.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Bon Voyage!

where did all the passion go?

What if everyone in the world was passionate about things that mattered? Things that were beneficials; things that make a difference? 

What if everyone in the world denied themselves one indulgence for the sake of another person?

Religion aside, where did all the passion go?
