The procedure required in China is more of a stop, drop, and squat situation. There are no porcelain thrones like we are accustomed to in America. There is no sitting [...]
It was amazing to see all the views and comments from yesterday. I am so glad that I was finally able to connect. I am sure that you are also glad that I finally connected as well. Thanks for being patient. I wanted to take a minute to brag on the students I have brought [...]
What an incredible journey! As some of you have found out, I have been unable (for some unknown reason) to be able to get onto, manage, or simply view my blog while we have been in the People’s Republic of China. I am getting the hint that they do not want me blogging in China. [...]

As we drove there that morning I was expecting [...]

Today we had the privilege of going back for the second straight day to GRACE RESCUE MISSION, which is a local outreach for the homeless of Oklahoma City. For the third day in a row, we were able to serve lunch and eat lunch with the homeless. Grace Rescue Mission also has a walk-in medical [...]
In the past 48 hours, we have worked with three shelters that provide food, clothing, and housing for the homeless. It is an incredible site as a youth minister to see your students being Jesus to those in need. Yesterday we worked with two shelters – JESUS HOUSE and CITY RESCUE MISSION. Today we worked [...]
