china's great divide

with nearly 1.5 billion people, after 50 years of communism, china now has the world's greatest divide between urban rich and rural poor.
china also has one of the greatest needs for a true gospel witness. steeped in ancient tradition and mystic buddism, china alone may hold more than 15% of the lost souls in our world today.

welcome to my weekend


canaan v. #1 gravel
check it out theface.shutterfly.com


megan clocked in at about 103 degree temperature on and off for the last 3 days



and little ezra was just a good little baby. which means he sleeps good for 3-4 hours at a time and only wakes up 2-3 times a night. i will admit that poor megan does most of the work and is awake with him most of the time but i am putting in a little snippet of work.

canaan didn't have to get any stitches but got super glued in 2-3 places. to the best of my knowledge, he was visiting my grandma with my sister and her kids, he was just out being a kid and playing with my sisters kids and my aunts kids when he felt compelled to do some what of a swan dive unto the gravel which had only been put down a day or two before. something to do with treasure hunting, running, & falling over annie's back. the treasure hunt was evidently successful. he did find a coin!
anyway more later, i'm on baby duty and he seems to run out of interest for ben harper or alexi murdoch.
