What’s up yo?

November 10, 2009

Its been a while since I’ve last updated, and I apologize for that. So here is a rambling account of what all has taken place over the time since I have last written.

Wow it’s been near a month.

Lets see, we were in and out of New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona, then a long drive from Arizona to Nashville Tennessee. We had some automobile troubles and had to leave the truck in Amarillo Tx, and then the next day or so in El Paso Tx for a few days. As it turns out whoever installed the external gas tank in the truck did so foolishly. It is a steel tank, and diesel rusts out steel, and therefore our entire fuel system was contaminated, and all 8 of our fuel injectors had to be replaced, and the system completely flushed and then fixed. So not only did it destroy our fuel system, but we also now have to fill up the truck once/twice a day instead of once a week or so, that sorta stinks, but its a little price to pay.

Then we went westward to Glendale Arizona, to a rather large church, at least comparative to the churches we’ve been in thus far. It was nice, they had a good system and a they even had video system. that was a good concert.

Then we left to go to nashville tennessee. It was a long long drive, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1800 miles, quite a bit of driving, but it had to be done. In nashville we had the great opportunity to perform with steven curtis chapman for national orphan weekend. For those who don’t know November is National Orphan month, and Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife started a ministry that helps those who can’t afford to adopt, be financially able to adopt orphans. We performed saturday night at ShowHope (SCC’s ministry’s) fellowship. We performed a few of our songs and then sang the two songs that we sang with steven, and then a worship song to close out the night (Mighty to Save, for those who are interested). Then on sunday we sang a few songs at Christ Community Church where we performed later that evening for the Cry of the orphan webcast, that was a huge production that was webcast all over the world, who knows how many people saw it, it was an incredible thing to be a part of. Hope you guys got a chance to watch it and see the kids!

Looking forward, we are headed to springfield ohio, just a stone’s throw away from Cedarville, so that will be nice. and then the following week, we will be in Cedarville. Needless to say not only am i excited to go back and see old friends and professors, but for those of you that don’t know I have a girlfriend, her name is Kimmie, and she lives in Cedarville, so it will be super nice to see her as well, since we haven’t seen each other since the first week in June. Then I’ll also get to spend the entire week of thanksgiving in Cedarville with Kimmie and her family, it will be nice/incredibly nerve wracking, hopefully  I’ll make a good impression.

Things I’m looking forward to: Getting the next book that I’ll be reviewing for Thomas Nelson, Seeing Kimmie, Being back at cedarville, that’s all I can think of right now… be sure to stay tuned to the website, hopefully I’ll be updating more, or as always you can just come here to look at my twitter.

leave a comment, I would love to hear how YOU are doing, that and the only one that comments on this is my mom, how lame am I? Love you mom.

    What kind of mother would I be if I didn’t comment? You spent all of your early years looking for attention, so I’m conditioned to give it to you! LOL I love you, too, Mike, and I’m proud of you. Sending hugs, kisses & love to the kids. :-)

    Glad you got to see your girl. Ben and I did the long distance thing post-graduation/pre-wedding. It sucked.

    Can’t imagine why you would worry about leaving a good impression!! You, along with your passion for what you are doing with the kids, are awesome. I am extremely proud of you. If you were my son I would be every bit as involved as your mom is. Just one warning – my niece’s name is Kimberly. For a long time she was Kimmy, then it changed to Kimmi, now it is simply Kimi. You will have to stay on top of the spelling for your girlfriends name. Hope you have a wonderful and safe celebration over the Thanksgiving Holidays.
