I heart SF

We are finishing our vacation with Daniel and Bethany in Castro Valley. We are spending the day in SF today. I LOVE this city. Every time we visit I try and negotiate with Jason to get him to move here. It never works.
For today I will enjoy the Philz coffee, sunny Delores park, walking from place to place and the urban city vibe.

Vacation!!

We have been in Mammoth for the past 5 days and have had a great time fishing, playing a the park and in the creek, swimming, playing games, miniature golfing, riding the trolley and more! Unfortunately I cant get the computer to upload any pics at this time:(
Today we drove about 4 hrs to Donner Lake. We are staying on a hotel here and Jason is racing in the morning. Hopefully we will sleep ok...all 5 of us in one room! We will be here for a few days, then head to SF area to see my brother and sister (inlaw) for a few days.
It's been a great trip so far! I'll try to post pics again tomorrow!

Changing Lives for Jesus

My dad is one of those people that other people love. He knows TONS of people and everyone likes him. Seriously.

But my dad is not just cool because of that. He is cool because he is changing the world for Jesus.

My dad is in Bolivia for the next 2 months with Water for All teaching the people how to build wells so that they have access to clean water. As I have said before, my parents - in their 50's are going to all the nations. Showing Jesus' love through clean water, delivering babies and ministering as the hands and feet of Jesus. They have left a life of comfort, routine, and at times - personal desires to obey. We have been instructed to care for the poor. Take the gospel to the ends of the earth. I'm just like you - have lots of excuses of why I'm not doing it. But in the end, excuses are not going to cut it.

If you are not doing that, what is YOUR excuse? I don't believe that "I'm not called" is going to be a valid excuse as we stand before the Lord at the end of our lives. I don't want to have any regrets. Be on the look out for more specific ways God is changing my heart and life.
