I feel so blessed, I have been having way too much fun. Well, actually the jet lag wasn’t that great and neither was the lack of sleep. But I gained a whole day, and that felt good. Met a few nice people on the flight, and I exchanged cards with a girl from India that [...]
Reading a Mo Letter called “Whose Slave are You? God or Mammon’s?” this morning that made such complete sense and totally lifted me. I wasn’t even born when Grandpa (aka. MO, David Brandt Berg, founder of The Family International) wrote half of his writings, and occasionally I go back and reread it and am amazed [...]
Joni writes: Life goes so fast that sometimes it seems hard to keep up. Maybe this is something y’all have already realized, if so just nod your heads and don’t laugh, but I’m realizing that what makes me edgy and under pressure sometimes is the feeling that I’m always waiting for things to slow down.

Today has been heaps of work, but I enjoyed it because I’ll be traveling soon. Heh! I am off to Canada for the first time in my life (I am Canadian, after all). It’ll be such a long flight. Like, no sleep for… awhile, anyway. Probably not until tomorrow afternoon (I don’t sleep well on [...]

I find my mind wandering so easily when trying to pray sometimes, which frustrates me, and I feel that I’m [...]

There’s the Family Education Department (or FED board), the Church Growth and Outreach board (or CGO board), and several others. I’m very happy [...]
We took the teens out this Saturday night for a night of witnessing in Lagoa. (Witnessing is what we call the act of spreading the message of Salvation and putting into practice the verse from the book of Mark in the Bible that says “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to [...]
Aside from the usual day-to-day things I worked on this interesting project…Making an MP3 audio library. Some of the kids have little 128MB MP3 players, so I was working on compiling age appropriate music and other stuff like the audio Bible, stories, and Bible verses to memorize. Came up with 8 GB of stuff but [...]
Had a very good bassist and guitarist come over today and donate his services by laying some tracks for me on three songs I’m working on, Very good stuff. Better than I could ever do. This man also donates all of our grain needs for about three of our missionary centers (ingredients to make granola, [...]
Next destination: Karamoja. I can hardly wait! It’s said to be one of the most interesting yet most seldom-visited places in Uganda. I’ve been there once before, and I know that this second trip I am preparing for tomorrow will be yet another unforgettable weekend!
