Thursday in SK

It snowed here all day.  Every day when I walk outside I think..."surely Spring will be here soon" but alas another day of snow makes the impending hope of Spring still seem far away.  Not that the snow isn't beautiful...it is.  Not that I am not thankful to live in a country with 4 really distinct, really beautiful seasons...I am.  But I'm gonna be needing some sunshine soon.  Some warmer temps.  To wear something a bit less than 37 layers of underwear.  I am so excited for sping and in a way it's really cool to have it come later and to really be excited and amazed to watch it slowly happen.  In atlanta we have about 3 days of spring where everything turns yellow from the pollen.  This is followed by 4 months of bursting
into flames as soon as you walk out of your front door.  

I actually didn't even leave the house today...the beautiful of being able to work from home when need be.  I had no intention of staying inside all day.  I mean I showered, put on real clothes...even a little makeup.  I just never managed to walk out the door.  

I am working on a large update letter to send out (I try to do that monthly) but find myself with writers block (or perhaps it's sheer laziness).  

I have meetings most of the day tomorrow. Our team is still trying to put together the most effective way to train youth leaders in SLovakia on how to create and execute a summer English camp.  We have some tough questions to answer and some difficult issues to think through.  If you are reading this...and you are one of the ones who prays for us here I would love to ask you to keep us in your minds.  OUr church here in Zilina as well as our training ministry.  Please pray that we would be focused on what God is doing and how he wants to use us.  thanks for that...really.
