I recently received this question from a friend of mine who lives in South America. She was wondering about all my recent stateside travel I have partaken in. Here is an expanded version of my response: Frequent Flier Miles: Honestly most of my recent travel has been on frequent flier miles. It is like God's gift to us all to freely partake in worldwide travel (Joseph Watson would love that line). It is not until recently that I have really figured out how this works a bit. When I 1st … [Read more...] about how do you travel all over the place & not go broke?

2010-a JANUARY look back at the year that is now good & gone
YES I am a procrastinator!!! But who said your year end recap needed to get out before the end of the year!? I was too busy celebrating with friends and family!! Anyway - ON WITH IT - here we GO!!

refreshed vision
Sometimes it is good to go to big gatherings. Yet sometimes people just live from one big event to the next. This is not my desire - thus I can sometime be leery of the next big conference. But the last ten days I spend on da Big Island of Hawaii, mostly in Kona was REFRESHING. I have been doing my normal floating relational ministry / random project thing the last few months since the DTS I led finished in Israel in late August. I did not realize how refreshing it would be to be … [Read more...] about refreshed vision

shaken to the core
Do you ever have something happen that you can not explain? No reasoning away? Like getting in a wreck on a rainy Sunday morning on the way to church. Rain coming down, cars slowing and without any time to realize it you are spinning in circles down the freeway at approximately 60 mph. Coming to rest after hitting 2 cars that for some similar reason are already parked in the center divide.... the airbag had gone off, miraculously I hit no other cars in motion, that I am aware of, and as the … [Read more...] about shaken to the core
miles & miles in AMERICA…land of the brave & free
I am officially back in San Diego. Every time I return "home", I tend to give myself a little time before "announcing" it, if you will. Not that anyone really cares, but rather it is my attempt to "rest" when I get home. Give myself a little time. So today I rested a bit. Got a good 8 hours of sleep. Had a slow morning hanging with my sis, nephew and pops. I love playing with my 16 month old nephew. I don't care what any of you say, mine is the cutest!! After a slow morning I finally … [Read more...] about miles & miles in AMERICA…land of the brave & free
I am not in the mood to blog…
That is the case right now. I feel a little bloated from our killer Mexican meal that we just consumed a little bit ago. I feel like there is this massive stomach that comes into being when Mexican is on the table. But as I typed the title to this blog I discovered a lovely little sticker in my sock. We finished the photo shoot about 3 hours ago and this little sticker must have been hiding in my sock for all that time.... Yet here I am. My goal was to write more on the midst of this … [Read more...] about I am not in the mood to blog…
