Dang have I missed you...

... Greenville, that is...at this moment I am sitting in down town waiting on a coffee date and attempting to write this thing from my phone. You will have to lay off if it comes out in some funky format. :) Today has been the coffee day of all coffee days... not only …

The drive to work...

This morning was beautiful...better yet, this DAY has been beautiful...I don't know what it is about autumn that makes me slow down, breathe deep (gasp even?!?), and lose my mind at how the Lord's hand has crafted this world. I don't know if it's just that I'm a …

Turkey...football...more turkey...more football

But more than anything else...thankfulness.

Decided to fly home from the Barthelona early...I'm glad I did, too...otherwise I would have missed time with these incredible people...which also would have meant missing my grandmother's mac and cheese, my mom's dressin, …

Only 3.5 more days...

It crossed my mind yesterday as we're riding our bikes by the Mediterranean that I've been able to see 4 out of the 5 oceans...geez. What a blessing.

Who gets to do that? Riding bikes by the Med...whatever. Craziness.

Got pics up from yesterday here ... what a …

Pack me up...I'm portable

I am soooo portable...seriously, you can take me anywhere. Name something that you can take anywhere...and that's what I feel like right now. Today may have been the best day of the trip. It was a Gaudi kind of day...I'll hit the highlights.

The Man in Front of Me

Gearing down for the rest of this day as we prep to head out to Barcelona tomorrow morning.

The time with the Long family has been such a blessing. They are full of God's joy...and so at home in this country (even on the days they don't feel like it). Their …

Bucharest Day 4

My head may explode from all the beautiful things I jammed in it today.

From the Contemporary Art Museum in the Palace to the Modern Art Museum in Revolution Plaze to the choral philharmonic tonight...too much to digest...

Favorite part …

Bucharest Day 2, etc

It's 10:00am here...about to head out for the day...more exploring to do. I know for sure we're going to buy tickets for tomorrow night's philharmonic (is that how you spell that...I sounded it out) at the concert hall we visited Sunday.

I still have these moments …

Bucharest-Day 1...and more pics

Good morning America!

It's almost 10am in Bucharest...Andrew is snoozin like there's no tomorrow...if he were in his apt in Barcelona the crazies outside would still be partying from the night before. It's hard to get much good sleep like that. We've been blessed …

Wanna ride bikes?

This time it's not just a random comment, Joshua.

Top 5 for the day:
5. Reading Psalm 16 this morning.

Here are a few places the lil bro will be taking me to visit...Picasso museum? Check. La Sagrada Família? Check. Bring it on Gaudi. We're hoping to do some traveling up the coast one weekend just for …

Part II

Top 5 of late:
5. Reading...and loving...Nina Garcia's book, "Little Black Book of Style." I generally hate rules and trends...especially in fashion, but this book is worth the perusing if you're into the fashion sort of thing. And the illustrations are pretty …

I couldn't find the words

but David could...2 Samuel 7:18.

Geez I can't get over how good the Lord is to me. You should read all of chapter 7 while you're at it...and then go and read Philippians 3 for another perspective from the Paulster and thennnnnnnnn check out Proverbs 13 for kicks. I …

sure and certain

My bossman at NewSpring is always saying that when it comes to taking things on faith...you have to be "sure and certain" (Hebrews 11:1)...sure and certain of what? Of what we do not see...

Hebrews 11 is dedicated to things taken on faith (creation, Noah building …

1 Corinthians 15:58

Thoughts?

2. I don't …

Sugar Free Red Bull

Lemme hit wit a few things that I'm thinkin over this Red Bull break (yep, LB, it's the last one of the four pack you gave me):

1. Ben Coleman has the coolest accent ever. It all starts with "leethon, lemme tell you..."

2. I wish I had a really cool, laid back, …

Can't get away from it...

"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."
So we say with confidence,
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?"
Hebrews 13:5-6

For the last...oh, I don't know...month or so, God has been hammerin me from all …
