This might be one of those things that most of you know but some of you might not. This last week has been a little odd, in that I have been reading scripture that I have read before and seeing something completely different. Yesterday I started reading Job and was amazed at Job's response. First is his response to tragedy. After hearing he has lost everything from 4 messengers, he responds in

I got so many thoughts, intentions, wants, desires, needs and anyother description of things to do running around in my head that sometimes I can't think. Man is that akward. But one has been coming to the surface a little more each day. I realize while I am confident in what I believe, and agree with the Baptist Faith and Message, I don't always read the Word to learn.Sounds wierd doesn't it.

Last night in youth, Chris Gulley was speaking about being attached to things instead of Christ. He used the analogy of a monkey trap.If you aren't familiar with the term, a monkey trap is some sort of container (usually listed as a coconut) that has an opening that barely fits a monkey's open paw. A piece of fruit is placed inside. When a monkey tries to grab the fruit, he can't pull it and his

As I don my parachute pants, shades and low v neck flashy gold shirt, I prepare the jack hammer for duty. This thing really is 2 Legit.Now that that is out my system here is a pic of some results...That is the remainder of my old brass fixture in the floor. I do a lot of hammering. Everything looks good. I finally remove the flange. I make (yet another) trip to lowes to pick up some new

I have put it off and put it off but now it is time to tackle the shower drain. It looks to be brass and sturdy. Applying a little heat, pressure and good 'ole elbow grease I get the first piece of. This is the piece that lays flush with the shower floor tile. I can't seem to budge the next piece, which is flush with bathroom floor (actually it was a little lower to create some semblance of a

Dust is everywhere. Despite attempts at keeping things clean it just doesn't seem to work. Mostly done with demo work. Let's see, I took a hammer and destroyed the shower pan. I removed the old wall into the shower and commode area. The vanity is gone. All the dry wall is now down and gone. I have also now removed part of the wall between the bathroom and the bedroom in preparation for the new

It's time to tear out the vanity. Our hope is to keep it and refurnish it. However, after pulling it out, we found it was rotted on the back and underneath. It didn't seem worth salvaging. Did a little plumbing (hence the title) to put new cutoffs where the fixtures will be. Most of the supply lines look in good shape. Drains.... well..... that's another story (or post if you would prefer).

Unfortunately (or not depending on mindset) I didn't take any pictures of the actual tear down process. Oh well. The process began simply enough. Taking down some dry wall, attempting to take down some tile. Only to find that the tile was installed really well. It was a pretty tough job. The must have been about 200 pounds of thin set on those walls. Also found out the base around the shower pan

Anyone reading this probably already knows, but just in case Les and I have decided to redo our bathroom. Now, this process has already begun but for the purposes of reliving frustrating moments in my life, I will recount the events (and backdate this blog) as they happen. What could be more fun than that? Without further ado (nudge nudge wink wink).......Tales from the Commode

Sometimes we as a people grasp onto only tidbits of the information we receive. Sometimes it is what we are taught. Sometimes it is what we choose. This also seems to occur in Christians and our understanding of the Bible. A brief example, would be the story of Noah. Ask almost any child and they can tell you Noah took animals 2 by 2 onto the ark in pairs. Most people don't know that Noah took 2

A couple of us guys are heading to play laser quest this Thursday the 17th. I know it is late notice, but that is how it happened. The good news is that they are having a triple play right now. For around $17 you can play 3 games. That's only about 1 dollar off per game. But we have other coupons as well. We will play at least 2 games. We'll start at 7pm. If you have any questions, let me know.If

To wrap everything up here is a map of some of the locations we traveled.1. I think this is a map (if it shows up in your browser) of the camp Mission Quest uses as our home away from home. As you can see it is tucked away at the base of some mountains (Sierra de Hauchichil)View Larger Map2. This is Hauchichil I think. I could be wrong. It is in the right area and definately big enough, but don't

We made it back. We traveled about 17 hours. I got home about 11pm or so last night. I will be fixing up some of the posts, and then posting some pics.

This was it. The last day is done. It was still a very busy day. After breakfast, we wnt and heard a few testimonies from nationals. One guy was 94 and had been married for 75 years. He has spent all his spare time reading the Word and singing to God. He is much slower now. We began singing "At the Cross". Then he sang a verse in spanish. Seeing people like this who are simply

We started today with breakfast again. I am really starting to sense a pattern. We went to Saltillo international church. It is an english speakig church. It was like home away from home. Especially since it was a father's day message. We had "personal burritto" for lunch (very good). We then traveled to an open market. It is basically a huge carnival and flea market. We

Today was a lot easier than yesterday. We began with breakfast (wasn't really expecting the three course meal treatment). We then traveled to saltillo. We first exchanged some money or de niro (i pick up eventually). We then went to the capital building. Then we visited the main cathedral. There is more oppression there than I would have believed.

Yesterday was a little tougher than I expected. It took 2+ hours to get to the town we were going. The roads were rough. Especially in a 15 passenger van. The name of the town translated is "the ants". We worked all day mixing and pouring concrete. We also dug a trench for the foundation of a new churh. Then at sunset we traveled back to camp via the rough roads. It was dark,

Yesterday was an all around great day. The kids are doing very well. Some nerves are frayed but overall everyone had a good experience. I always like seeing people without the masks. We had some devotional time last night. We shared a little and missionary spoke about the great commission. Yet again the Lord confirmed some things. It always astounds me how much we are loved.Today is THE

We stopped at our first town ans learned about it. Elmilono sappato. We listened to the preacher talk about bhis life and events. Chuy was 19 when he was saved. He began very shortly going to bible school. He is now 24 and has been in the village for aboutg 3 years. Ruled by the catholic church. Salvation availble through mary.

Looks like made it. We departed this morning around 8. We had a few issues at the border with paperwork for the vans. Thankfully, the rental agency was able to fax the appropriate paperwork back to the border. Other than that, there were no issues at border. It took about 2.5 hours all things considered.There is a second checkpoints we had to go through, but again no issues. The highway

We have clowns, balloon animals, instruments, drama skit, and a few other things.We had lunch (a apicy chicken and rice dish). We practiced again ad are now heading into 2 towns to begin.
