Krista yelled out from the bathroom “Hey guys, I found my second gray hair!” (I won’t tell you how many I have on my head now!)

Alex ran straight into the bathroom, saw the hair in question, and with a breathy voice whispered “You’re going to die!”

Gina, my sister, gave Alex a camera before we left the states. It’s a digital camera made for young people so it has two eye pieces and is rubber coated. Its really nice and Alex picks it up every once in a while and does a series of pictures (most of which we can’t figure out what they are). Anyways, Alex brought it in to me today and told me it was time to let the world see his photos and for me to post them up on the website. Well, I didn’t post all of them (especially the ones of me where all you see is my stomach - without a shirt - yuck!) but I did make an album of some of the better ones that I thought were cute.

Check the Photos out in the Photo Album.

Well, we finished the last concert today. All of them seem to have gone really well. Several of the prisoners were definitely impacted (talk to the band members for more info about that). More importantly, the local church we have been working with has really been encouraged.

Oh, and when I said that Kyle was sick but I thought it was exhaustion. I WAS WRONG. Dude was sick. But he did not want to cancel the show so he played with a trash can on stage. Well, I don’t want to go to much into all that but again, ask the band for more info.

Tonight is a going away bar-b-que and then we fly out tomorrow to head back to our respective houses. Pray for safe travels.

I haven’t forgotten about all my blogs that I want to write about Ukraine however I’m just so excited. I’m sitting in Warsaw, Poland waiting for the “Kyle Dillard Band” (Kyle is the worship director of our home church, Lake Forest). I just got an SMS that they are in Europe with only one more flight before they are here in Poland.

This is going to be an awesome time as we are going to be doing Blues music in places that know something about blues - Warsaw prisons. CreativeWorks, a ministry of GEM, has connections with a local church that does work in these prisons. Using the music of Blues, we’ll be able to tell and show the Gospel. It’s going to be great. Also as a bonus, I get to see some great guys from my home church that I haven’t seen for almost 1 1/2 years. Awesome!!!

I know I haven’t blogged since getting back from Ukraine and tomorrow I start traveling again. I am working hard on all the different blogs that came out of my time in Ukraine but just haven’t gotten the time to write them down. But I will.

Anyway, just wanted to share with you some fun time we had the other night when Alex was taking his bath. I think he used too much soap. He called Krista and I in and you couldn’t even see him and then he just popped up. Check out the photos in the Photo Ablum.
