aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

What a glorious Easter morning. And how is it that I can't get through an Easter morning without being overwhelmed with emotions? When you really take a few moments to ponder the true meaning of Easter and what happened 2010 years ago so that we might experience life, and experience it to the full, I don't think you can deny your emotions overtaking you. He died for me. That is what hits me so hard on Easter each year. For me. (Oh, and by the by, for you, and for every single person on earth that He created.) What love. Thank you for the grace and mercy and love. Not to mention superstar sharing her testimony that is so cool to listen to knowing what has brought her to where she is, and being in love with her for so many years now.

The title of the post refers to the true vacation that continues today. Huge thanks to harry and donna for being the best hosts evar. What a beautiful place to stay, enjoy the girls, the beach, golf, water slides, food for kings, dq, shuffleboard and much much more. And a new route down 95 that I have to say is much more exciting than Ohio. Sorry panks. Anyone that is fortunate enough to spend a week in a place that has palm trees is pretty darn fortunate in my opinion. And we even don't have school until Wednesday. Today, some of our nyc chums are coming here for "Easter Dinner". This is Brooklyn style, and it will be different, but we are happy to host.

-Upcoming Events that you could anticipate blog posts on:

*This Wednesday night, I will meet with another school board for a potential principal position in Queens. Pray.*

*My nugget cousin will be here in just about a day and a half, and we are so excited that she is coming to visit!!!*

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

10 years in a day

So my days are beginning to run together, and the timelines in my brain are blurry after being on the ground at CEM for three days or has it been four? Either way, let's just say that one day in India is like ten years. That is a pretty good description of what reality is like here. Pastor said that sandrews said that on a trip here many years ago, and I was shocked by just how accurate of a statement that was. A day here can bring life events that you might be exposed to once in ten years living the way we live in the US of A. Here, life is hard. No matter what. As we drove to a 'village church' yesterday, we were what one team member describes as 'in the boonies.' (What does that mean exactly?) We saw things that I don't even know if I would have seen in 10 years living in the US. Men harvesting sugar cane and loading it on trucks. That sounds like a very simple sentence, and a very simple thing to do. But when it is in the upper 90's, and ther
