God is working on my heart. After our debriefing meeting at the Travel Lodge in San Antonio, I said my good byes, hopped into the van with a few others for the short ride to the airport, and then found myself all alone for several hours waiting for my flight. I had not come as […]

Well, I missed all of Saturday, as I came down with a nasty sore throat, and stayed at the hotel in McAllen all day. The rest of the group did a construction project in the morning, then helped with the festival at Alianza Church in the afternoon. The festival is one of my favorite things […]
