I LOVE THIS!!!
Thank you for the posts Courtney and MB! It makes me laugh to see you guys go back and forth. It's almost like being home.
It's 5:15 a.m. Tuesday morning and I am still struggling with a full nights sleep. The nice thing, I am actually training for the bridge run this year and running on the tread mill. The hotel has a pretty nice gym.
Yesterday we got things prepared for the meetings with Target and will wrap that up today. They arrive tonight and then we hit the ground running! We look at the port of Hong Kong tomorrow a.m., focused on the security procedures in place by U.S. Customs at origin. It should be interesting in light of all the hype with Dubai World Ports. Then we are into South China (Shenzhen) to go to our office over there.
I didn't have anything really interesting to take a picture of yesterday, but I will take some more pics.
Miss you guys!

This is Elizabeth and I in Hong Kong. We did a little "shopping" and sight-seeing on Sunday.

Comforts of Home
As I prepared for this trip to Asia I have had so many feelings, but one that is stronger than the others: SADNESS!!
I will miss my family, my friends, my doggies and the "comforts" of home.
It has brought me back to Acts when Paul & Barnabas are first called upon God to pick up their current "comforts" , put them aside and pick up His mission.
(This happened right after they saw Peter's miraculous escape from prison.)
HOW DID THESE MEN FEEL?
I am sure they were scared, anxious, worried, frustrated and maybe just a little scared. BUT, I think Acts 13:4 gives us a hint as to where they found the strength & comfort to throw aside the comforts of the world and stand firm in the greatest comforter of all. Barnabas & Paul traveled with the HOLY SPIRT!
And wouldn't you know it...on their first stop (Acts 13:9), He showed up!
My Prayer
Lord, I pray that you send your Holy Spirit down on me to protect and guide me on these travels. Let me recognize and see your work without the "comforts" of home to blur my view.
AMEN!
