JFK Airport
“Start spreading the news…we’re leaving today…”
Well, bad rendition of a Sinatra classic but good news! We are in New York and waiting for a Jet Blue flight at 6:10pm to head to Boston. Then into auto’s and driving home to the family. If all goes well I should be hugging Kim and the kids at [...]

As we made our way [...]

Foursquare Convention and “The Covenant”
Tonight we had the privilege to view the musical “The Covenant” This musical tells the story of Israel, the Jews, and the Promise of God. It was a beautiful weaving of song and storytelling beginning with Abraham’s encounter with God all the way up to the declaration of Statehood for Israel in 1948 by Ben Gurion.

J.P. Harriman!
Hey All,
some of you may be aware that friends of mine, Brock & Tina Harriman, have been working through the whole adoption process with an orphanage in Rwanda. I just received some pictures of their new baby boy.

New Anointing
Tonight during the Foursquare Convention Pastor Jack Hayford spoke from Psalm 92 beginning with verse 8:
8 But you, O LORD, are exalted forever.
9 For surely your enemies, O LORD,
surely your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
10 You have exalted (raised up) my horn (or influence) like that of a wild ox(strong)
fine oils have been [...]
