Introduction I never thought I'd have a blog- I dont even know what that stands for. But then again, I never thought I'd be living thousands of miles away from everything that was familiar to me. Oh well- thats what I get for making my own plans. I'm living in Central Asia for two years working and building relationships with a lost and persecuted people group. I wake up most mornings and wonder why I was picked to do this- but then I realize I wasnt just picked. I was created, fashioned from the beginning, for this assignment. This blog characterizes my expereinces here.
Interests friends, sports- especially soccer, shopping for shoes, Wednesday night basketball, running up and down crazy busy roads, bargaining in the bazaars, exploring in this city, reading books by dead people
Favorite Movies Sound of Music, Drumline, Remember the Titans, Princess Diaries, Backdraft, Last of the Mohicians
Favorite Music any and all- except heavy metal- currently: LeCrae, Caedmon's Call, Pat Green, U2, Coldplay, Jars of Clay, Andrew Peterson
Favorite Books Jane Eyre, Let the Nations be Glad, The Devil Wears Prada

The first time you had your shoes taken off - how surprised were you to see that you still had toes?

considering how people here drive on sidewalks, crosswalks- paths meant for feet. It is a wonder that I havent lost a toe yet!
