Well…I haven’t been existent online for awhile and one of the main reasons is that I have been on a much needed vacation with my wife.  We left our kids with Grandma and took off for Kauai…we love it here!!

Long walks, fun memories, lots of laughs, doing whatever we want to do and whenever…

HAUNT (hônt) – To come to the mind of continually

I have been reading a ton about Mother Teresa lately. Her life and how she lived has begun to haunt me, in the best of ways, on a daily basis.  I can see her humble, love filled eyes and the way she scurries down the roads of the poorest areas in the world and under her breath she whispers  Ek… Ek… Ek…

But Why?…this is why:

She has been spurring me on towards love and good deeds. She has been leading me to be in the world but not of the world. She has been showing me that the greatest of all these is love. She has been modeling to me that the most important thing is to love God and love your neighbor. She has been challenging me to find Jesus with the poor, oppressed, thirsty, hungry, social outcasts and those on the margins of society. She has been teaching me to deny myself, take up my cross daily and follow Jesus.

I am so grateful for those that are more concerned about The Kingdom then selfish gain!

I totally wish I was at this conference.  Adoption of course is close to our hearts and has changed our family forever!! Luckily they are streaming the whole thing!!  I believe with all my heart that the world will see the LOVE OF JESUS as the church rises up to solve the orphan crisis around the world and right next door…including the foster care program!!

Watch and share!!
