I'm taking a sabbatical

Well. Not really. Monday morning, two friends of mine and I will be heading off to Oklahoma, to work at a camp that focuses on inner-city kids who have horrible living situations and parental situations. I'll be gone for three weeks, and there will be no way to contact me. : )So. If you have any last words, say them now. Otherwise, leave them to be read on my return, the 28th of June. I'll miss this blog. I think this will be the first time since this blog's advent that I haven't posted at least once a week. But it's for a good cause, and hopefully I'll have a whole bunch of really cool stories of how God worked in these kids' lives and how He worked in mine. Pray for me, okay? I'll post again when I get back...Here's a song to listen to while I'm gone. It's not a very kind one. But it says So Long in it...that's all you need to take from this song. : )





Yes I heard all that you had to say
That's when it all fell apart
Might be hated but I can't pretend
I liked you better before

So long so long
Front foot leads the back one
Go on and it wont be too soon
I'm gone I'm gone
and on to the next one
So long and I wont be back soon

Yes I'm blue but from holding my breath
Like I had from the start
I'm the villian and I should confess
I liked you better before

So long so long
And on to the next one
Go on and it wont be too soon
I'm gone I'm gone
Bet you saw this one coming
So long and I wont be back soon

It's hateful to say
I see it this way
I don't even know who you are
But in my defense I'd do it again
I don't need to know who you are

So long so long
And on to the next one
Go on and it wont be too soon
You're gone You're gone
Are you waiting for something?
Go on cause I wont be back soon

It's hateful to say
I see it this way
I don't even know who you are
But in my defense I'd do it again
I don't need to know who you are

So long so long
Front foot leads the back one
Go on cause it wont be too soon
You're lost and gone and on to the next one
Don't need to know who you are
Don't need to know who you are

  2. I will be praying for you. I'm sure you will see God's hand working in the kids (and your) lives. Have a good trip!

  3. peter,

    i said something to you at church the day before you left, but i think you either didn't hear me or flat out ignored me. (i like to think the very best about people, so i think you just didn't hear me.)

    anyway, the first week of kids come tomorrow. i pray in each and every word and action you will be living out the Gospel. i pray that God will renew you each day.

    well, see ya later!
