I just had 'all you can eat' for $6.00

I finally got a taste of that delicious Argentinian beef I've heard everyone talk about. It's good! This picture doesn't have any beef in it because I already ate it when I decided to be touristy and take pictures. The people here at YWAM Buenos Aires are really nice. Fabio picked me up at the airport and showed me around town. Im getting a lot of practice with my Spanish and Portuguese and mixing it all together. A whole bunch of people from this base left to do an outreach in Sao Paulo, Brasil. Mmm.... 30 hour bus ride; I couldn't fit in their luggage. =) Tomorrow I go to the embassy here and see if I can get a visa to Brazil and go on my own. As usual please pray for me.!

Bethel is even cooler than expected

Within 90 minutes of landing in Redding, I learned of Bethel students engaged in business solutions to extreme poverty. Monday I heard a powerful teaching from Bill Johnson on how life on Earth offers us the only chance to worship God in the midst of our pain, suffering, loss, and confusion. When we are in heaven we won't have the chance to give God that gift. Bill's teaching reaffirmed this ongoing theme that suffering matters. Suffering creeps me out but I can not deny that suffering somehow leads to intimacy with Christ. Monday night gave me a few a hours to meet a great house church where blue collar types mingled with Bethel alum. Prophecy and healing flowed amidst their faith and love. God gave me a chance to pray for healing for one of the guys. This tested my faith when his knee actually got a little worse in the first couple of minutes of prayer. That hurt my pride. Fortunately during the second bout of prayer his knee healed completely. V...

Royal Family Kid's Camp

For the last week of August, I spent 5 days tending to foster kids at camp organized by Lake Avenue Church and Royal Family Kids Camp . Our entire mission that week was to be the positive, encouraging memories for children enduring childhoods of questionably dark times filled with unknown forms of abuse. I couldn't tell just by interacting with them what they were dealing with in the other 51 weeks of their year, but I do know that when these campers come back next year, they will remember specific conversations they had with us counselors. My primary job was looking after one particular child, “D-man”. Connecting with D-man was new for me. I'm not a parent. I have no pets, not even plants to care for. Being consumed with thinking about another living being for a week straight was completely new to me. D-man is ADD and required the extra herding that comes with not hearing people when they are calling your name. He's quite the "ladies man" a...

Open source repo of standard legal contracts

I was daydreaming/hoping for an open source repo of standard legal contracts ... and then I found it. https://www.docracy.com/ . However I couldn't find a contract for making it easy for a group of people to buy and own something like an exotic car or a neighborhood tractor mower. If any of my lawyer buddies are interested in doing such, I'll pitch in $50.
