Sunday, October 17 If you had told me a year ago that I would spend my 45th birthday in India, I probably would not have believed you. My mosquito bite count was now up to a dozen, (no one else has any) and I waver between wondering what I’m doing here, and realizing that God …

Sunday, October 10, 2010 Back at the hotel, I fell asleep quickly; however, I found myself wide awake at 2AM. Of course, it was noon back home so…my internal clock was a little confused. JD told us church would begin at 10:30. Their home is above the church, and so we went upstairs immediately upon …

Friday, October 8, 2010 While I had such a blessed time sharing with Gautum, I did experience some difficulty on the flight. Although I have flown many times before, my longest flight had been 8 hours. About 10 hours into this 14 hour flight, my surroundings began to spin furiously. I sat for a few …

…God gives me valuable insight into Hinduism and an opportunity to share the Gospel. As the plane boarded, it became obvious that the seat next to me was empty. As it started to sink in that I would have an empty seat next to me, I was thankful for a bit more space for this …
