this week

this week has been a bit hard. i've been fighting some bug, but i'm just barely under the weather. not enough to call in sick, but not well enough to enjoy being at work...or anywhere that isn't my bed.

but for that, the week has had some exiting events. we got dish network over the weekend, which has me watching loads more tv. that's not really a good thing, but i'm getting tired of tv now so i guess it was a good strategy. the best thing is that i now have bbc america again and the international history channel. there's also a nasa channel. too cool! i've been watching changing rooms while i get ready in the morning.

also this week:

*we have homework leading up to more latin american training at work. i'm putting together info on brazil.

*some guy i don't know got a word for me at a meeting i attended on sunday night. it spelled out exactly some important things God's been talking to me about lately. that's been happening to me alot lately. it's pretty amazing!

*kathleen came home last night. she's been in the uk with all our 24-7ers.

*my friend ben and i settled on our superhero names and logo.

*one of my co-workers told me dave gorman's coming to seattle in december. i smell a roadtrip!

*we finally met up with a guy that moved here from southern california with his family because God has been telling him what He is going to do in portland and wants him to be part of it.

that last one's the most exciting! his name's travis. he and his wife are 30-somethings with 3 young kids. he's been in touch with renee and was able to make it to our dhop meeting at barb's last night. he's 112% one of us. it was so cool to meet him and hear some of the things God's been showing him. it's right on track with everything else God's doing here. the funniest thing is that it came up that he and his wife are going to dresden for the same 24-7 thing renee, kathleen and i are going to attend. i'm hoping we can talk them into going to edinburgh with us at the front end and berlin after. we'll see what happens.
