International Truths

Some things are the same, no matter where you go.

Take for instance, the fact that we watched all the kids from Elvis' orphanage doing the chicken dance, exactly how kids throughout America do it.

I noticed another one of the international norms today.
Have you ever been at a church youth convention (middle school, high school, college, doesn't matter), and one kid in the lobby or outside breaks out the acoustic guitar? And as they play, the crowd grows, people join in singing, and a few start belting out some (often off-key & really loud) harmonies?
We witnessed that exact same thing outside of the church this afternoon. The young worship leader had his guitar. He started strumming, and by the time we left, there was a crowd of about 10 young people standing around and singing.

Hello,

Happy 4th of July. Glad you are making the best of the waiting. You are almost there.....It won't be long now until you are home as a family of four.

I'm still praying for you.
