I haven't written in a while, but midterm break (a three day weekend where kids get off campus and staff have no responsibilities) began five hours ago so I'm doing it.
--My book is not officially "in print." If you'd like a book and think you'll see us during the holidays when we're in the U.S., we should have some on hand. If you can't wait that long, you can check here in the next week
http://fatherspress.com/ and order one. I'll let you know when it's available on Amazon and Google as well.
--We visited a tribe in the valley (the Great Rift Valley) last weekend. Although we didn't do much work for them, it was nice to build relationships and plant seeds for the future. Asher's hands were full of exploration, as you can see in the picture.
--We're gearing up for next week's big events. Heather is the chairwoman of Multicultural Day, an all-school event celebrating our diversity and God's love for all people, tribes, and tongues. She's already put in long nights organizing and there's still much to do. I'm leading a student team for worship for Spiritual Emphasis Week (Wednesday thru Sunday), and it's going to mean about 30 extra hours of work for me to plan, practice, and lead these services.
--I usually don't do this with my blog, but I must this time. Our band director at RVA postponed his year of home assignment in 2006 because there was no one to do his job. Now, he has postponed for three more months until Dec. 2007, but in just two months he will be gone. We have no one qualified to teach these important classes, and it's the eleventh hour. Please pray that someone will be called and will obey to come teach band at RVA from January 2008 until July 2008.
