"7. You'll chat with faceless minions

One new trend regurgitates an age-old concept: On sites such as Omegle.com, you can chat with complete strangers. AOL has provided this capability for eons (isn't that what chat boards are all about?), but Omegle.com puts a random spin on it, pairing you safely and anonymously with an arbitrary total stranger. You can chat with some dude in Norway or Japan in less than 5 seconds.

Why the trend is important: Other than the fun factor, Omegle indicates the final piece in the globalization puzzle."

While I am not personally enthralled with this idea it does seem like there are a ton of evangelism opportunities with this.

Halloween Fun

So the Halloween fun as begun! Here are some pictures from tonight's adventures.

Here is sheriff Woody!


Here is the most awesome Bumblebee!


Here we are collecting candy from some nice businesses in Geneva



When we got home we found a package from Nan, Grandaddy and Mema.

Pink is it!

For those of you who have not heard we have been informed by the medical professional that Hershey is indeed a girl. We have long thought this to be true. We have some new pictures that I plan on posting later tonight. We appreciate all of your prayers during this incredibly normal pregnancy.

It is finished!

As I began this post I immediately thought of the great Petra song "It is finished!" Though the song itself has little to do with the post I thought I would share the song with everyone. Don't let the hair and clothes scare you off :)




Now on to the real reason for this post. I wanted to let everyone know that we have an edited version of our prospectus for The Journey. We would love for everyone to take a look at and let us know what you think. We would also love it if each of you would pass it along to others who may be interested in partnering with us. Please prayerfully consider how you may be able to partner with us as well.

A Message for Mimi and Papa

Aiden and Anthony wanted to tell you a little bit about the park we visited yesterday. We liked it and think you will like it too.

The theology of eating out

Even in this more precarious economics times many of us seem to be able to find the money to eat out at least every once in awhile. We like to be able to reap the benefits of another's labor. The work of the Kingdom many times works in a rather similar fashion.

Jesus makes this kind of analogy in John 4:32-38. In this passage speaks to the fact that just because we are being allowed to reap the harvest does not mean that it was all us who were responsible for the harvest. So the next time you are at your favorite restaurant I want you to think about how much you are benefiting from another person's labor during that meal. At the same time I want us to consider how much we benefit from others when we reap that which they have sown.
