You know you are in Asheville when...

You pass an elaborately decorated car with "The journey is all there is..." painted above the fuel door. Not really sure how far the journey in that car will go but the ornamentation probably reduces gas mileage. Decor and creativity A+!

When I am bored...

What a full weekend! Sunday evening, past my bedtime is the first time I've gotten to sit in my leather recliner to read and think and begin to relax.

"...when I am bored it is no fault of creation or covenant. Familiarity dulls my perceptions. Hurry scatters my attention. Ambition fogs my intelligence. Selfishness restricts my range. Anxiety robs me of appetite. Envy distracts me from what is good and blessed right before me..."

Just posted trip photos of the ChildrenofDestiny orphanage in Jinotega, Nicaragua. Enjoy!

First blog post with blogger

It is amazing what a small world it is. I'm chatting on skype with my friend Mark Randall who is currently by the pool in Nicaragua!
