This post has  nothing to do with a chihuahua, just thought it sounding intriguing.

Please pray for us as we go to speak tomorrow to the Project Impact students in Denver.  We are to talk on dying to greed and developing a generous heart.   Another one of those talks when you end up speaking to yourself as much as the audience.

Just returned from a great workout. Some call it a hike up the flatirons. Some call it a good idea in a brainstorming session. Some called it crazy. We called it wonderfully exhilarating. You can view highlights here.

Today we celebrate Josh’s 15th birthday. It should be a lot of fun, especially with the fireworks the city of Boulder will be displaying for him (at least thats what we tell him). He quit believing us a long time ago.

Next week Julee and I will speak with students at a training program thats taking place in Denver. That should be a lot of fun also.

The window is closer to completion. The window itself is in now, just having to make modifications in order to install some structural steel. You should see the 1/2 inch concrete screws we are using - Tim the tool man would be proud. We could screw whole houses together with these things.

Continue to pray for our team in South Asia. They have continued to see fruit from their labor and God has been teaching them deep things. Our challenge is to shepherd them so that the things they are learning stick and to help them process all that has happened this summer. Also our good friends who were on staff here at Challenge will be moving there on July 10, so they would appreciate your prayers for their challenging transition.

We will be receiving many freshman contacts soon and will begin the process of connecting with them. Please lift up these freshman whom we don’t know - yet - that God will encourage their hearts and connect them even closer to us and Him over next year.
