On Vacation

So, I’m sitting in the lobby of our hotel with a courtesy computer that is available for guests. I’d got a bunch to write about our visit to Charleston so far, but there’s something a little more pressing to share with everyone.

When Christy and I were seniors at Milligan, Dave was a freshman. We hit it off pretty well and have kept in contact over the years. He’s on a missions trip to Afghanistan right now. Although I’ve had limited contact with the news, I do know that things have not been very good in that country right now. He has been able to post a few thoughts and updates from the field. You can read his update here. It’s a powerful testimony of how God is a great Provider and Protector.

Please pray for Dave and the rest of the missions team!

More from our vacation will be up soon. Maybe even tonight!

    Now, here’s a Christmas present I could sink my teeth into… A trip around the moon on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. One report I heard said you get to keep the Soyuz capsule as a momento.

    So, I finally got my initial “team-raising” letter in the mail – two months later than planned! It took longer than I thought to get everyone’s addresses in order. I think I also delayed (unconsciously, of course) because there is a financial aspect to this, as well. Working with SMI means that I have to…

    Now that the first wave of holiday movies is winding down, it’s time for the movies I’d really like to see to come out – just in time for the second wave of holiday fun. I didn’t go to any movies from the Memorial Day blitz. That’s about to change. The following two tabs change…

    Fireworks. I played around with the settings on the camera. Came up with some pretty cool pics. At least I think so. And since it’s my Journal, that’s all that really matters – right?

    Carter Fold Originally uploaded by mattdantodd. As mentioned earlier, last Saturday was our first trip ever to the Carter Family Fold. After visiting, I can’t believe we never did anything like that while at Milligan! Our friends would have had a blast! Homecoming is soon. Maybe some of them will come down and we’ll drag…

  • Best I could Do

    Fish Tank Originally uploaded by mattdantodd. OK – this was the best I could do. The fish really didn’t want their pictures taken, and the camera isn’t as high-tech as it should be for the picture I had hoped for. The orange fish is a Sunburst Platy. On the lower-right-hand corner, those little brownish-greyish specks…
