New Orleans



9th ward reality (looks like something straight out of universal studios doesn't it?)

One of the best parts about the trip was being able to talk to people and hearing what happened to them as well as being able to pray for them and having them be super open to prayer. I met a woman whose house we were gutting and we brought out a bunch of books and about five Bibles. After looking at all the books and spilling all the nostalgia that the books brought, she only took up the Bibles to keep. She said "I need these." Do we really have to lose everything to recognize what the most important things are in life?





this picture was a good story. there are plenty of stories to tell.

the best thing that's happened to me in a long time....


if you see me tuesdays and thursdays..remind me to eat lunch or it won't happen.

After grabbing some crispy chicken nuggets and a side salad at Wendy's late this evening, I started that long trek from Beauford H. Jester to the Perry Castaneda Library. Peeking into my Wendy's paper sack, I realized that I'd forgotten a fork and they'd forgotten to given me some honey mustard! The logical thing to do, hike back towards Jester. When I got to the Wendy's counter I kindly informed the woman attending to my needs that someone had failed to give me honey mustard. She smiled at me, turned around, got me some honey mustard and added 6 pieces of nuggets to my bag as bonus. At that moment I felt almost sure that my luck was beginning to change....


until I realized it was 12am and I hadn't started studying for the day yet. go me.

a simple lesson reminded.....


looking out for number one is easy. loving people is hard to do.



how did He do it?



It's Amazing How You Love Me

I have searched the whole world over,
Looking for the things I thought would
fill my heart and ease my pain
I can climb the highest mountain,
Or sail beyond the seas,
And it always brings me back to you again.

It's amazing how you love me;
It's amazing how you care,
It's amazing how you're always thinking of me
All the time, everywhere
