>Matt and I are leaving in the morning for a week-long trip to Carthage, Texas with our youth group. 14 kids, 5 adults and two 12-passenger vans are heading down there for a mission trip this week. I hope it will be fun, and I hope we get to be Jesus for people for a few days.

That being said, I’m going to be a little out of touch for a week or so. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited about taking a couple hours Saturday night to catch up on all the blogs I’ll miss all week! Pray for our group – that we’ll be safe and get along well. Pray for Buster too – he’s staying home, and our friend Debbie is going to be taking care of him while we’re gone. I hope he doesn’t have another raging party while we’re gone. Kids…

Love each other!
