Heading to Spain....

Hey ya'll! Just wanted to let you know I am taking off for Spain on Monday. I will be leaving from Chicago and then landing in London where I will spend a whopping 8 1/2 hours in Heathrow Airport. From there I will go directly to Seville, Spain where I will spend the next 7 weeks! Please pray for safety and that all goes well in Spain-and thank you for all the prayers already! I'll miss you all and I will keep you updated and try to put some pictures online as well.

More Cost Rica...

A few more things... Kev seems to be doing well. I would bet that he is currently teaching his last year in Costa Rica even though his mom thinks not... we'll see.

I've posted and will continue to post thoughts and pictures over the next couple of weeks. Most of them will likely be at the water's edge blog site and my site where I occasionally post a few thoughts.

Blessings!

Kev teaching 6th graders English... It was a great trip! I didn't spend nearly as much time with him as I was hoping. Still, we had the opportunity to tour the school, sit in on a few minutes of 6th grade english, and then we had dinner together the next night.

Calvin and the president

The fact that the president came for graduation does not make me particulary proud to be a Calvin grad. The article in Saturday's paper, however, shows that Calvin strives to encourage thoughtful discussion. If you get a chance, double click the link below to read the article.

Jim Wallis at Calvin...

Kathy and I are thinking about attending the thing at Calvin College this Thursday night...
7 p.m. in the chapel...
If anyone wants to join us, you are welcome :)

Oh yea, it's Jim Wallis who is speaking. His recent book is titled: God's Politics - Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Deosn't Get It.
