Me and Doyle
I left the main session just for a second and look who I got to meet….
Mr. Doyle Dykes
I’m hoping that me putting my arm around him transfered his guitar skills to me…It probably happened!
Saddle to the Back
I’m at a the Saddleback worship conference right now. It started last night and it’s pretty cool so far. Leeland played last night and it was awesome. That group has such an annointing on them…God truly has blessed them.
My cool God-moment came during Leeland’s set. I went to the back of the building and just sat and watched 3 or 4 thousand people unified, worshipping God. It’s a pretty powerful experience. Here’s the scene: there is amazing music being played…amazing lights…everything in the room is pro but more importantly..everybody’s heart was focused on God.
My mind shifted…
I thought about Africa. I thought about Uganda and the staff at Favor of God. I thought of spiritual atmosphere there…a spirit Lies and Confusion are all over the land because Joseph Kony has brought that on the land. I thought and prayed that God would take the praises of the 4,000 people in the room to activate his angels to fight for truth in northern Uganda. It was very clear in my mind. I could picture it. I had a moment of understanding how God uses the prayers of his people to fight the spiritual battle before us. He can do it sovereignly but he wants to use his people.
For the first time I feel like I had an experiential knowledge of intercessory worship. I hope that God continues to teach me what intercession is.
I love the fact that no matter what country your in…we all have the same God.

That’s My Boy
Yesterday, Leah and I were trying to get Abel to sleep. He wasn’t having it for awhile. He just wanted to wiggle around and kick his legs…maybe swing his arms a bit. That happened for about 20min and then he randomly rolled onto his stomach, farted…and life was good again. He fell llseep immediately!. That’s my boy!!!
It’s been 4 years!!!
Today was Leah and my 4 year anniversary. We were going to go to Balba Island, but we got “stuck” at Sammy’s Camera. After Sammy’s, we went to The Lab. It was good times eating at the Cuban restaurant Habana and taking some pics.

Finally..Some Time to Relax
This morning and last night were quite relaxing for me. I feel like I haven’t had too many of those nights the last couple of months. Last night, Leah and I just put on Ocean’s 13 and did random stuff on the computer. It was nice.
I finally got NetNewsWire back on my computer. It sure makes life easier for keeping up on people (at least as far as people who blog go. I think I’ve just been getting jealous that my son’s blog is more popular than mine. Blogging is a popularity contest!!!!….right??? Just kidding.
Here’s the latest flyer I made for Favor of God. We are starting a Missions Training Course in Northern Uganda. It’s going to be a “study abroad” style class because it is the same length as a college semester. It’s a 14-week course that will focus on spiritual formation, character development, training to reach the unreached people groups in the 10/40 window, and training to be sent out as servants to raise up indigenous leaders. I think it’s going to be an AMAZING course. If you know any one that would be interested, just let me know.
Here’s the flyer:
What’s Been Keeping Me Busy?
I think he’s a worthy cause. This little guy makes me smile everyday!
computadora
Lately, I have been feeling quite overwhelmed. My computer hard drive crashed a week ago and it took about a week to fully get another one installed. I never realized how dependent I am on my computer. It was quite an eye-opening experience.
Moral of the story: backup your computer!

He might be the youngest blogger EVER…but don’t discriminate! Give a baby some love!
Washington DC Day 1
Matt Cash and I arrived in DC at 6am yesterday morning and decided sleeping wasn’t worth it. So we started walking around to see the sights.

MIsunderstand
Definition: failure to interpret or understand correctly.
I’ve been hearing many stories from Carole Vezey about how desperate the nothern Ugandans are for God. All they know is war, suffering, and death. My mind can’t comprehend how there is a whole generation of people that know nothing besides war.
They haven’t learned a trade. They don’t own any land so they can’t farm. They don’t have a house. They live and breath IDP Camps. Fear and terror are a constant reality. Water is a luxury.
CONTRAST
I have a comfortable apartment. I could probably eat for a month with just the food in my kitchen right now. I have a car. I have hope and see opportunity. Comfort after comfort. That’s what I know.
I don’t even know how to start processing the difference.
I’ve been confronted with the question of how desperation changes our interactions with God.
