Hello Roadie Warfighters!

So much to say.


I have been really busy.  I have flown all over the place and am just now getting settled here in Kabul.  I would really like to see or hear from you guys out there if you can.  I had one Roadie chime in on my personal email and hope that many of you have found this blog.  Let me know!

Much is going on at Crossroads.  Tons of giving going on for all ages.  Nic and Janna (the lead singers) have stepped up to be the new Children's pastors.  Hollie and I are going to regroup and begin to serve in other places.  We have been with the kids for a long time and it's been great.  We are thankful for Nic and Janna and pray God's blessings with this awesome thing they are doing.

I also heard there are some really cool Crossroads shirts and sweatshirts out there.  I haven't seen them, but heard they are awesome.

As far as Afghanistan goes, it's getting pretty cold, even in the south.  On my way back north late last week most of the mountains were snow covered.  Really beautiful!  It's pretty cool to be at 11,500 MSL but only 50 ft. AGL.  Only in Afghanistan right.

To mention some things that I referenced in my last blog.  If you read it was the 'Target Rich Environment'.  The next two things were also great inspirations to me.  I ran into another two gruff older guys who you never would have thought needed the Lord so much.  Truth is we all do....very much.  With each of these guys I just casually mentioned church or the Lord and in each case they lit up with eagerness to talk about God.  I just listened as one guy talked about his battlefield experience that lead him to Christ.
The point is that God is not apart from us just because we are so far apart from our lives.  If you are willing He (God) still wants to be near you.
Check out Romans 8:38-39.  I am loving this scripture all the time over here.
That's it for now.

BE SAFE!
