The LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.”
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an [...]

All I can say is, WOW. I’ve had enough drama today to more than fill up this spring break for me.
Starting off the day, I woke up on one of the couches in the conference room. Apparently last night I had just passed out from being so tired and just slept there. [...]

I just realized that while the title of this is Day 2, it’s not really our 2nd day here. It’s like our 4th. But it’s our 2nd day on the beach, and I guess that’s how I’m keeping track of things.
My days haven’t seem to gotten drastically better. But that’s just from [...]

Let’s see if I can fit this in before the team rolls out this morning. Last night, the power went out for about 10 seconds, and the internet was down until this morning. I probably could have typed up an entry, then posted it this morning, but I ended up falling asleep on [...]

Our home for the week, the El Caribe:

Apparently Ben Waterman starred in Psycho:

My dinner at Woody’s Bar-B-Q, the sloppy woody. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that great.

So after lunch most of the team headed outside to enjoy what we thought would be beautiful weather. Instead we were greeted by cloudy skies, high speed winds, and mediocre temperatures. And it just started to rain. What a way to enjoy Spring Break in Florida.

This is just going to be a random collections of different thoughts on my mind as well as a few stories. Enjoy the miscellany.
- My van probably had the fewest people in it out of the 3. It seated 12, and we had maybe 6-8 the entire trip. Starting off, we had [...]

Hey all. Here’s the first Daytona post for the 09 trip.
We rolled out from the DC around 6ish. We had to make a temporary pit stop to fill up the tires on one of the vans at Handy Andy. It may have taken 3 guys to figure out how to do it, [...]

Today, I felt the calling to spend most of my time in prayer.  So that’s what I did.  I just went down to the opposite end of the park, and just sat there and prayed.  For a long time.  And although I really wasn’t talking to anyone, I felt like I was doing my job.
Afterwards, [...]

Today was quite the day. It started quite well. The sun was out, and the wind wasn’t blowing as hard. There were almost no clouds, and there were already people waiting for us as we pulled up.
After everything had been set up and such, I went down to sit about halfway down [...]

Just a warning, but this entry is going to be on the shorter side. 1. I’m tired. 2. I don’t really remember much.
So here we go. I woke up a bit later than usual, at 9 and ate breakfast before heading to the conference room. I hung out for a [...]

I would just like to preface by just stating how good God is.  He is the ultimate provider, and we really should not worry, b/c he knows exactly what’s going down.
Now, onto my recap of what happened to me on the streets of Daytona Easter Sunday night:
We rolled into the church at about 9:30ish, and [...]

So today was Easter Sunday. We decided last night that we wanted to do some sort of sunrise service, so we met at about 7 on the beach. We had some time of reflection and we also took communion. I thought it was slightly odd that we were taking communion on Easter [...]

Sonny’s was delicious, as usual. They had an all you can eat rib special, and our team took advantage of it. We were seated by individual tables this year, as opposed to one long table like last year, and I think this was a little bit better for our team. Within each [...]
